    I honestly hope they don’t do another dumb Linux challenge. Linus and Luke both have pre-prepared excuses why a conversion to Linux will fail, for them personally. Stuff like “we can’t run Photoshop” level shit. Dumb “no shit Sherlock” type nonsense.

    That means they won’t actually try, they’ll just “do it for the content” and give up again after a month or whatever. The videos will be well done but will ultimately conclude that “Linux still isn’t ready for us” and they’ll leave a bitter taste in any real Linux user’s mouth, because their excuses will be pathetic and the efforts put in will be demonstrably minimal.













  • Yeah, I got the error page a bunch of times, then the “we’re out of stock”, and finally, an order confirmation! I suspect the servers were just overloaded - valve is definitely underestimating demand - and then they were running into fulfillment issues that have slowly been sorted out.

    There’s no doubt some bots got some, but I think there’s a lot of happy second steamdeck owners today as well…
