I imagine I show up in the Bazzite statistics, but despite using Aurora on both of my laptops, you won't see me in Aurora statistics. I very rarely power on my laptops. Either way, I like what Universal Blue team offers, and I'm happy to use their distributions.

I was curious about this game, so I'm glad it's coming to PC. I never got a PS5 since I ended up switching full-time to PC.

PCSX2 feels like it's improved a lot in the past couple years. When I first started using it, I'd often see lines when playing games upscaled; that's pretty much gone now.

This is nice and all, but I'm not even going to bother buying these. The GOG releases of the classic Resident Evil games don't work on Linux, or at least didn't for me. Why would these be any different? I'd rather just emulate the Dreamcast and/or PS1 versions.

Whelp, game is unplayable for me. Launching it normally gives me the message, "Your PC does not support DX12", and trying to launch it with -dx11 like Remake gives me "Fatal Error".

Thanks for nothing, Square.

I'm not surprised, but it is good to hear.

Bazzite has a nice introduction that makes it easy for someone to install emulators and the like, which SteamOS doesn't have. That's in addition to things mentioned in the Reddit post like printing support. Also, Bazzite is way more up to date on Plasma and other KDE software than SteamOS. It's actually kind of surprising how behind Plasma is on SteamOS, considering the Arch base.

Essentially, I think Bazzite is better than SteamOS if you want something that can serve as a general purpose desktop OS in addition to gaming. That's why I'll keep running Bazzite on my desktop, even if SteamOS expands beyond handhelds into desktop.

Oh, and every-time i use Firefox, I always end up going back to Chrome. I just never have a good experience with Firefox personally.

Complete opposite for me. I can't stand the way Chrome, or Chromium-based browsers like Brave, organize my bookmarks. I don't like how few shortcuts I can have on Chrome's New Tab page compared to Firefox.

I like that Firefox has container tabs so that I can open different websites in different containers, like having every Google related tied to a specific container. I like the built-in tracking protections Firefox has, in addition to extensions like uBlock. I like how good Firefox Sync is, and how it lets me send tabs from my devices to my desktop. Yeah, Chrome has the same feature, but I've never found it to work as well as Firefox.

And mobile (Android)? Don't get me started. Chrome on Android is completely unusable. Without adblocking DNS, I get inundated with ads that make trying to browse the Web a non-starter. Even with aforementioned DNS, I get white spaces where the ads would've been. Thanks to extension support, I can use uBlock on Firefox Android and have none of those issues. I also get access to Dark Reader, which darkens every page for me and makes things easier on my eyes. Last I checked, Chrome can only do that if you enable a night mode flag; and I prefer not to mess with flags. On top of that, I can have the address bar in Firefox on the bottom of the screen, providing easier access for my thumb. Again, last I checked, Chrome does not have this on Android.

For me, Firefox just works so well across the board that I would be genuinely upset if it were to disappear. Taking away Firefox and making me have to use Chrome would be like robbing me of Plasma and forcing me to use GNOME.

I would rather more support go to Gecko and Firefox, but this is good news, I guess. I'm still not using Chrome or any other Chromium-based browsers.

D-Pad looks awful, and I don't like the asymmetrical stick layout. Also, the one "trackpad/touchpad" is just...I mean, really?

Other than that, having a version shipping with SteamOS is good news. That it's cheaper than the Windows version is also good news.

My most played game this year was Metaphor Re:Fantazio, which isn't saying much. The only games I played that released in 2024 were P3: Reload (a remake), Metaphor and Shadow Generations. Most of my time was otherwise spent playing older games, which is nothing new for me.
