Quoting: F.UltraThen let's face it, Linus did that deliberately, or rather he choose to take advantage of the situation to prove some kind of point.

I find these kind of videos with "let's use the worst case scenario for show" both not really helping actual potential Linux users and not helping general perception of Linux. Instead of making a show about it, he can report bugs.

What I'm interested in is someone creating a Qt replacement in Rust from scratch.

Quoting: ElectricPrismOnce again I arrive to the conversation feeling like I'm the only one that still sees Steam Machines 2015 as a HUGE success.

I see it as a successful boost for Linux gaming at the time. But you can hardly see it as a successful product.

Yeah, that's why with stronger push for Steam Deck and much better software stack situation today with Vulkan and Mesa, I'd like to see that renewed effort of educating game developers to make Linux releases.

Quoting: kuhpunktSteam Machines didn't work, because there was no software to play - because devs didn't want to port. That's the whole reason why Valve put so much effort into Proton.

I can argue the opposite. Devs didn't want to port becasue Steam Machines didn't work. Software stack wasn't ready. Marketing was non existent, potential sales didn't look promising and so on. It was too early. Proton isn't the main point here even though it helps of course.

Quoting: kuhpunktBecause it's not a priority. It clearly didn't work in the past.

That worked just fine. Steam Machines didn't work. That's not the same as teaching games developers to release for Linux.

What's lacking is their "porting to Linux" talks they did in the past (it was called "Steam dev days" I think?). That's not a very good sign.

I was surprised about it too. Why put WiFi into the CPU?

Quoting: MayeulCOh, I'd love for AMD to come out with big.little cores too :)

From what I've read, they aren't planning to follow Intel on this for now and rather would focus on optimizing all cores.
