As long as these devs don't post some statistics to support their "findings" I'll keep calling bullshit on this "Linux makes cheating easy".
I refuse to believe the amount of cheaters who would go out of their way and install a whole different OS just to cheat to be of any signifiacnce. Cheaters are lazy bitches, most of them would probably get filtered just by the aspect of dualbooting alone.

Quoting: PhlebiacYep, and we need something similar set up for kernel anticheat games now.Quoting: PyrateGreat news. Hopefully this starts a similar "game contains Denuvo" sentiment from Steam users (on Linux or otherwise), so that it slowly builds more disliking to the concept on a wide scale, not just Linux players.You can follow this curator to mostly get that:

Iguess I'm the only newcomer to Linux who picked Fedora and never looked elsewhere, I think I downloaded codecs at one point just to follow what everyone else is doing, but I don't remember ever having an issue prior to when I randomly thought of installing them.
I'd say Fedora is perfect for newbies who aren't afraid of their devices and don't mind "learning" the OS that they'll be using all the time. Dsitros that "just work" and tolerate tech illiteracy and laziness also have their place of course, it's cool that we have both options.

Quoting: ToddLQuoting: PyrateI've also been thinking about doing a console-style mini PC, even though its probably redundant to do so when I already have a Deck and a dock...I was thinking the same thing about getting a console-style mini PC for some time after owning the Steam Deck for a couple of years and recently decided to purchase a PC that was small enough to fit a low profile GPU because I wanted to play games that the Steam Deck struggled to run. That PC will end up using Bazzite on it since I hear good things about it even though I know that ChimeraOS and Nobara exist.
Quoting: ZlopezAny mini PC recommendations? I'm looking for ready-made a little box, so not looking to build my own pc.Quoting: PyrateI've also been thinking about doing a console-style mini PC, even though its probably redundant to do so when I already have a Deck and a dock...I have a Deck and a dock too, but the resolution doesn't look great on TV and the Steam Deck is struggling with some games. So my idea is to build something more powerful, but still a small one.

Quoting: ShadowXeldronI'm considering the KDE version of Fedora for my main non-gaming laptop actually but I still don't have the means to back my data up. Might have to look for an external hard drive.If atomic variants aren't an issue, I highly recommend Kinoite, it's been great running on my work laptop.

The recent beta made the steam UI too big, and I don't know how to scale it down, haven't really bothered to check so far to be fair.

With Kinoite on my work laptop being such a delightful experience, if for whatever reason I have to reinstall Fedora on my gaming setup, I'll do Bazzite. Atomic for the win!
