It was quite sad that a unix-like hacking game/simulator was only available for Windows and not for a ...well UNIX-Like OS? :P

Quoting: XodetaetlThe important thing though is that people start to realize the benefits of openness. It's a first step to global wisdom.

What is open on Android? It's just as close as IOS (for 99.9% of all users).
They won't dig into the source code and change Android to free it from Google.
They ship it with Google apps all the way.
You need a Google account to use the app-store, without the smartphone is useless.
Just for that you need to agree to countless terms of agreement and grant them to collect your data and use it for their enrichment.
There is no gain for the user.
This is not free as in freedom, but free as in free beer.
And this is just because they can rip you off better if you get it for free because most ppl actually think Google is really neat and just do everything to make the user happy and even supports open-source because they want to help everyone in the world.
Did you know Google is offering free Internet in poor countries IF the people use Google for searches and use Google services?
It must be, because they really want to help everyone in the world so the poor can achieve Internet. WRONG!
They just want to make money with them!

Sorry 'bout that, i'm not 100% negative, but i am the kind of person pointing with the finger on misery to wake the people up, because if you believe everything the companies tell you and don't ask questions you will end in chains but still you believe it's good for you not to be free.

Best regards,

Personally i hate consoles, because it is NOT good for PC gaming to have consoles at all!
What we have now for some time is, that the lead development platform are consoles and if the PC gamers get a port (if!), the controls feel very spongy, because they were originally designed for game-pads.
Heck, even ego-shooters like call of duty are designed for consoles...game-pad rather than mouse and keyboard!
The controls of Skyrim are very unresponsive due to this.
That is really sad.
With this move, Valve pushed it in the wrong direction.
Big-Picture is designed for game-pads.
If the steam-box runs well and developers start to develop for SteamOS, it will be designed for.....game-pads!

Like windows said before, they want to kill mouse and keyboard in the future!
Windows 8 is all about touch.
Android is all about touch. (Many mobile games "for Linux" but not playable on Linux desktop.)
Windows 9 (probably), X-box one and Microsoft smartphones are gonna be (all about) voice.
Google glass...Virtual Reality (Oculus Rift)...Smartphone invasion...Tablets...mobile gaming...even Ubuntu is going for mobile devices and every company wants unified Surfaces...but this does mean, that the PC is going to get just an other "one touch primitive dumbass monkeysafe entertaining platform"

It started a few years ago...they started to hide the Menu bar, they proceeded to hide menus and now they go on and limit even the menus to as few choices possible so that even a grandma of your choice can use their devices.
I do not say it's bad if things are simple enough to be accessed by a good amount of people without computer knowledge, but they limit it to just that.
They assume you to be a stupid user and they don't give you the choice.
Do windows 8 let you choose (initially) to use the Desktop instead of metro? no!
And i assume, that SteamOS doesn't let you choose to use mouse and keyboard, it will most likely start in big picture mode and won't let you change to an desktop environment just like chromeOS.

I came to Linux to have the choice again...
And i want to use mouse and keyboard for gaming and working, no touch, no voice, no telekinesis (well that might be actually cool), just my mouse and my keyboard.
And i want my PC do what i want, not what Microsoft or any other company wants my PC to do.
And i don't want to see Google (and Valve maybe) take Linux, make it portable, shut it down and generate content (like the mobile games) that is not accessible with desktop Linux.
If that is to become true, Linux might become just the new "Mobile OS", totally incompatible with Desktop Linux and everyone hypes Linux for it's mobile capacities and development shifts into mobile market...and...so...on...

Just imagine Linux is running on "Xbox two" and "Playstation 5" incompatible with desktop Linux.
They just "use" "our" Linux and don't even give us back something in return.
We still can't play the games we want on Desktop Linux, because it is still not an option for the companies because only 1% gamers use Desktop Linux and 99% of all Linux users use a Linux console.
It's the same "no-control" environment, completely closed-source.
No Terminal, no choices, an imprisoned Linux.

Think about it.
