Windows 🤢 🤢 🤢

@boilingsteam interesting, if you can install steamos on it?

boilingsteam, 10 months ago

@loke you won't. Unless you are willing to rely on a "nothing is optimized for it" version of SteamOS

loke, 10 months ago

@boilingsteam you're probably right.

I find it strange just how wedded a big part of the gaming community is to Windows. There was also that recent "final review" of the Steam Deck that some major publication did, where they did that because they "finally could use Windows on it". It's frustrating.

@loke
Yeah it's sad. Especially since games run on numerous different OSes these days, this idea that a PC needs to run Windows to play games is a massive blindspot.

Also, I gotta say, the people who end up in "game journalism" are probably not the "creme de la creme" if you get my meaning

@boilingsteam There are some that I respect more than others. @jeffgerstmann tends to be able to see beyond the echo chamber.

@boilingsteam No usable OS (Windows is not an operating system, it's a tool to download other operating systems) + no touchpads + no back buttons == useless.
