Steam could launch for Chromebooks soon, mentions game compatibility reports
3 Dec 2021 at 6:41 pm UTC

How much demand is there for Steam on ChromeOS/Chromebooks? I don’t think there is much (I expect it is way less than %1.16 linux market share on Steam) as the main purpose of these devices is browsing the web. And these devices are often managed by schools/organisations.

Quoting: Sputnik_tr_02I think it's a good time for Valve to push the Steam on Chrome Os officially.

Why do you think that ChromeOS support will help linux? ChromeOS is mostly used for education and managed by schools, which means that most users would not be able to install Steam if it was officially available. Also someone who really wants to play on a Chromebook would install Linux (or Windows) right away.

Okay, we are small for sure. Linux share is %0.xx or %1.xx or perhaps %2.xx depending on where you look at. But we are stronger than ever. And we are growing. Normal, non-hacker, non-tinkerer are installing linux to their boxes and using it for gaming. And it works.
Instead of thinking about how small we are, we should look for ways to increase it. Especially in these times where we can make public linux usage a reality.

Capcom shows off official video of Devil May Cry 5 on the Steam Deck

Quoting: MohandevirEdit2: Specialized? Please define... To me, it's still Arch Linux, with the same drivers and KDE desktop. Certainly it will have a minimal set of software pre-installed... I would have used the term "barebone". Which might be less scary for newcomers.

Looks like a standard KDE desktop to me...

Wait... Is that browser Google Chrome?!
EDIT: It looks like I can’t quote a picture...

KDE Discover gets update to prevent you breaking your Linux system

Quoting: NociferBut I do have one question: what if I intentionally do want to remove a "system critical" package like Xorg or my DE - how do I do it if package managers, both GUI and CLI, prevent me from doing so? Is there

On Arch in file /etc/pacman.conf
[options]
...
HoldPkg = pacman glibc

Here's some of what we've learned about the Steam Deck
13 Nov 2021 at 6:34 pm UTC

SteamOS with have a read-only immutable main filesystem by default. Updates will be distributed as a whole image and so it will replace it.

Wait, what? The first thing I thought of when I heard about SteamOS 3 being Arch Linux based was updating the OS with pacman! And does read-only FS mean I can’t install stuff like another web browser for desktop mode?
