Well there are no operating systems that you can install and forget, unless they never plan to go online with the machine. They all need updating which can be set automatically. The only problem is if it requires manual intervention, sometimes updates don’t go as planned, then a roll-back might be necessary. They could try an immutable linux distribution if they are worried about screwing up their installs or something. Fedora kinoite may be their thing, or Bazzite which is based on that.

When you install Bazzite you select the video card you are using and it will give you the drivers needed for that card.

I was able to play the introduction but as soon as it tries to log onto the server i get a BattleEye didn’t load properly restart client. Ohwell, maybe they’ll enable it one day for linux users, until then refund requested.

I think i’ll be heading back to Pop!_OS for my main rig. While i like Bazzite, i can’t get VR to function on it, or get my 5.1 surround sound system working. I think it’s great for a hand held, but not for a main rig.

Glad i already built a system and don’t have to worry for a few years about upgrades unless something breaks. Also i’m Canadian so our tariff dispositions may be different.

The software itself does not harm anyone, considering it is free software and nobody has to contribute money to use it, i don’t care. If you feel so outraged by it, fork the software and develop your own version. At least with free software you have that option, as opposed to proprietary software where you have no option.

I’m not using Hyperland personally, but i’m not opposed to people using it.

oops corrected.

GTA V isn’t being released on PC until probably a year after console. I don’t own any xbox or other locked down platform, so don’t pay attention to it, so you definitely have a chance to make a sale to those like me who don’t pay attention to console releases.

I fully believe they are working on the game, whether it gets released when the rumor says, i’ll believe it when it happens. Not worried though, just as long as i get to play it before i die, that will be just fine.

I have a Valve Index and the only way i buy a new headset is with Valve Deckard (or whatever name they chose for their next generation vr). If it never materializes, VR is dead to me because I have zero interest in non linux solutions.

Pop_OS! is a decent OS, been using it for a few years on my living room PC. On my gaming rig i been using Bazzite which i like where it’s going, love kde, but i can’t get surround sound working and for the life of me can’t figure out how to fix it. Might move on to another distribution, but we’ll see.

Glad i’m not in the market, have a couple decent gaming pc’s, which should be good for another 3 or 4 years. Not to mention 2 Steam Decks.

Try an immutable os like Bazzite.

Jokes on them, my loophole has been linux since 2006.

None of these two are our friends, though AMD is much nicer to the open source world. I tend to buy AMD because at least the hardware i’ve bought has good value and tremendous linux support.
