Quoting: TheSHEEEP
Quoting: mylkawhy should i use a closed source client, when there are 2 open source alternatives?
Because the closed-source store is better?
I'm not saying that it is in this case (last I checked, original EGS was not very good), but that would definitely be a very valid reason.

Using open source just because it is open source is pointless - it actually has be good software in order to improve your experience.
i dont see how it can be any better. heroic can download update and run games
i really dont need more. when i browse the shop i do it in a browser because it is faster and has tabs

even cloud save works with heroic.

in general you are right, but i was talking about epic

"Still a shame that Epic don't support their store directly"

actually i would still use heroic, or rare even if epic had a native linux client

why should i use a closed source client, when there are 2 open source alternatives?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThe trailer looks to me like someone was putting out a quickie crap game to jump on that bandwagon, and said "OK, how do we advertise this?

System76 patches APT for Pop!_OS to prevent users breaking their systems

of course it is the fault of popOS!
if you wanna be a distro for everyone, then this should not be possible, if all you wanna do is installing steeam! linus did nothing wrong. linus tried to install steam fron the GUI and it did NOT work

he used a command line he found on the internet and hit YES, as every other (new to linux) user would do

after all this helps linux to improve usability
i hope LTT will continue this linux challenge with other ppl from his staff and let them to everyday tasks to find much more bugs in other distros

btw lukes also having some issuses installing steam
it said REMOVING! it worked after all, but it should not do it
