Quoting: Purple Library GuyMy year of the Linux desktop was somewhere around 2000, I can't remember exactly. The Linux desktop sucked really hard back then, but so did Windows 98, so.

There is something unbeatable about the early 2000s Linux desktop aesthetic. I'm nostalgic for it and I wasn't even there for it!

Well the marketing team was split between doing either a youth chain smoking competition, public service worker harassment tiktok videos, or flash mob twerking at hospice care centers. But like any good head of marketing, they settled for something where participants could generate buzz while sitting from their couch at home that would maximize drain on society without requiring consumable commodities, going outside, or physical (or even mental) exertion. Real party animals if you ask me.

There is no The year of the Linux desktop.

There is only Your year of the Linux desktop.

And for me, that was 2014.

I thought that the whole point of the announcement and store pages which encouraged people to wishlist this hardware was so that Valve could gauge interest.

At the very least they could have estimated interest based on traffic through their store pages.

Anyone else having trouble buying a steam controller?

Is there a digital thundering herd buying them all?

Yes, it just refreshes the Cart page when I click "Continue to payment". Both in the Steam client and in a web browser.

If the device is sold out there would be a notification, right?

Quoting: TangoBakerBecause there's a game that everyone's dying to get their hands on. C'mon guys, at this point, you should be paying people to play midnight suns.

Never heard of Disney Midnight Suns. Is 2K really so paranoid? Speaking of paranoid, Disney have been pulling a bunch of games from Steam so it probably won't be around for long anyway.

Quoting: Liam Dawebut as of yet Valve have not supplied GamingOnLinux with one.

That's because Gaben is on his way to personally deliver a controller to you. Check your phone he's been trying to reach you all day.
