Also what do you mean as “runs better”? As in “better performance” or “better compatibility”? I’ll give you one answer for each question, but off course its not the only one. Other cases may have another explanation why the Proton version runs better. This is a complicated topic which cannot have a generalized answer for all games.

• For performance: Developers focus on the Windows version and may not be very talented at Linux development or environments. So optimizing the Windows build by the devs will obviously make that version better. Plus optimizations and some trickery from Valve (and off course others) in Proton might also help, that is not affecting the Linux native build.
• For compatibility: Proton does a better job at providing an environment that is the same each time the game is installed. Linux native changes too much and too often and differs a lot per distribution. At least that is what I think, not sure if that is even correct.

The difference is:

• robots.txt is a promise without a door
• Anubis is a physical closed door, that opens up after some time

I like get triggered. This reminds me that I’m alive.

I think before this happens, a company would purchase Oracle, because all the tech they have. Oracle has a lot of enterprise and database stuff that I’m not familiar with. The only thing that counts to me is Java. So which companies has the money and knowledge and interest to buy Java rights?

I’m not sure if this would be a good idea, but I can see Google to buy Java. The Android system is based on Java and they need the stability of the rights to not get in conflict with Oracle or any other company again. Also this would give Java some better development I guess.

This game will always held a special place in my heart (together with Dune 2 and its remake on the PSX). I played the original Playstation game back then in the 90s. Congratz on everyone worked on this project to make this happen. I am not the biggest fan of web browser games, but man, this one already won my heart.

Just tried it under Firefox and it worked perfectly fine (only couple of minutes tried). I didn’t even had to add exceptions to my uMatrix blocker. Very nice!

It just says only Steam Deck and Legion Go S are officially supported. But you can install it on other devices too (people did already).

If you are interested in trying out SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can use the SteamOS Recovery Image and follow the instructions here.

The update is that you can officially download and install SteamOS on other devices.

Does this mean I can install SteamOS on any device?
 We expect most SteamOS users to get SteamOS preinstalled on a Steam Deck or device that incorporates SteamOS. The only devices officially supported on SteamOS right now are Steam Deck and Legion Go S.

We are working on broadening support, and with the recent updates to Steam and SteamOS, compatibility with other AMD powered PC handhelds has been improved. If you are interested in trying out SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can use the SteamOS Recovery Image and follow the instructions here.

You mean an L-take? I’m not sure why. SteamOS is a gaming oriented os, with specific user interface and update cycles and features towards that. I think its the right call by Valve to put this note that this is not a general purpose desktop os meant to replace it. I know about the desktop mode (have Steam Deck myself).

The point is, the goal and usage is not meant and to be considered a full replacement for a desktop. People can decide themselves to do it anyway, its just not the goal. So totally not an L take here. Unless I misunderstood your point.

Torvalds drama is at least some “drama” with flesh and bones, with a good reason behind it. Not a ghost drama for no reason.

If you read the conversation, its clear that Lina is toxic for no reason. She needs to to out and touch some grass.

Mozilla was not controlled by Google.

Not sure if this is meant here, but shockingly many people believe that “funding” something equals to “controlling” it.

Version numbers are basically meaningless.

Some jokes are not amusing.

According to the language of the proposed bill, people who download AI models from China could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.

Just because they call it Open Source does not make it. DeepSeek is not Open Source, it only provides model weights and parameters, not any source code and training data. I still don’t know whats in the model and we only get “binary” data, not any source code. This is not Libre software.
