I'm probably the only guy on earth who can't install Proton GE, for some reason my Steam never detect the plugin.

But it's nice for those who can use it :)

They should integrate the training course too, I remember playing it some years ago and it was very funny (specially the part the guard is confused about why are you in a HEV suit for the gun training)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWait, in China the public sector, like at work, use Android devices to get their work done? Is that really a thing in offices?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyGoes beyond privacy threat now, seems like it's also part of the trade war--like, you fuck with our tech companies, we'll fuck with your tech companies.

While I agree this make sense, I don't think the companies from Silicon Valley would be happy to potentially lose their "clients", so in this case I think the most likely scenario would be Microsoft (or maybe Apple) delivering a "Windows China Edition" compliant with whatever their government rules they have, rather to convince everyone to change to a no-face Linux.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThere is big potential for Linux in China. Due to the conflict between Trump and Huawei

I don't want to extend this subject here (way off-topic to GOL) so I will only express what I think with this: Smoke Curtain

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThe US foreign policy establishment see the security of American world domination as far more important than security of the actual United States or the people living there.

Windows 10 remember us that "average users" don't know nor care about privacy in a general tech scope, as long as it delivers their common needs. Anyone claiming different is probably government/company propaganda.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo if the Chinese make threats as bargaining chips, such as "We will dump Windows if you don't stop hassling Huawei", even if they have no real intention of doing it they may well end up having to follow through or look weak.

I call this the "SteamOS move" ;)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI believe it can currently be summed up as "pathetic". Frankly, I think they have lots of good reasons to use Linux, but it seems they have more reasons not to (not sure how good those reasons are though).

Agreed, and the reasons are probably the same as the rest of the world (Plus the fact that vendors can't force their embeed software)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI dunno. IBM (Windows) PCs became big at home because they were what people used at work. And the Chinese public sector is big.

It's big with android devices for sure. I'm not sure about how strong is their notebook market, my currently Acer doesn't flash the BIOS without Windows, so I can assume that Windows is still the only standard for them, and desktop for home users is nowadays a niche between designers and gamers mostly.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyEven if it doesn't influence home use much, the Chinese government sector all by itself has to be bigger than most countries. If they really dump Windows off most government machines like that article claims, the flippin' Year of the Linux Desktop just arrived. Not much help for gaming, admittedly. Or not directly, not yet.

The only way I think the government would move to Linux is if they see Windows as a privacy threat for them like Trump sees their devices for USA, and even so, I doubt we would see any contribution back to "us"

Sadly the Chinese government is more worry about watch their people, and Windows is for sure a excellent tool for the job

more Media Foundation APIs implemented

Does this mean running more .net resources without .net?

Quoting: LinasThere is big potential for Linux in China. Due to the conflict between Trump and Huawei.

I personally don't think the government can be a change factor for home users to switch to Linux, due to the fact that most of then are used to windows XP/7 (pirate copies of course) and even the companies are used to care only about windows and android (which are systems they can force arbitrary software to common users).

Quoting: TheSHEEEPBiggest point keeping Chinese people from using Linux is the ridiculously bad support of... Chinese.

It's probably way more difficult for then to support Linux, due to vasty majority of documents being in english (or another roman alphabet language) and the fact that they alone have 3 different languages I think. I already imagine how difficult can be for an english speaker to read anything in my language, so I imagine then :P

Ironically, I think Deepin DE has the potential to be the best DE due to how good they make it user friendly, yes the support is still bad due to many bugs, but still it's a very good software made by Chinese devs.

Simplified Chinese the current most popular language on Steam.

I wonder how is the current status of Linux usage in the Asian market (Japan, China and South Korea). I think the Chinese one would be bigger if they had PUBG and LoL avaliable natively.

Nice to see improvements using Wayland, I hope this become something which benefits other distros too.

Looks like I'll need to change my Desktop Environment soon...
