Hurting /= killing

I didn’t say anything about “killing”.

It’s always been legal to download, but not upload.

I bet counting on Nvidia is going to fuck them. Such a weird choice when EVERYONE else has switched to AMD.

I’m very interested on how powerful this thing is if it’s price is going to be higher than the LCD Steam Deck

From a purely hardware standpoint, the Steam Deck LCD panel is awful, 800p/60Hz with no VRR. Switch 2 is 1080p/120Hz w/ VRR. We don’t know much about the Switch processor but surely it is at least comparable to the original SD one with those sort of screen specs.

Steam Deck has to be sold at cost at the lowest, mostly because it’s just a PC and can be (and has been) used for a myriad of things that don’t involve Steam. Nintendo could sell these things at a huge loss and still make money hand over fist because they can’t do anything but play Switch games.

…why would they? Self-hosting loses them business.

Nvidia does not always work fine with Linux. Stop saying this.

You don’t have to set it up. It’s built in.

In my experience, and many others’ it is a problem. YMMV. Not really a debate I care to rehash.

a fromsoft exclusive.

Really!? Man I wouldn’t have expected that but they seem to be going downhill fast.

I agree but also very unlikely it would make a difference if they were only sharing from their personal account.

If you install a version with Gamescope implemented (Chimera, Bazzite, Nobara, HoloISO), the experience is indistinguishable from SteamOS, other than typically some other goodies that make the desktop experience much better, like printer support. I don’t know exactly what they have planned for the wide release of SteamOS but I expect when it drops it will still be inferior to these distros.

I’ve been running Chimera/Bazzite on my desktop for a couple years now and it’s awesome! Especially if you don’t play competitive multiplayer stuff like me.

How is that much of your library not functional?

I assume they’re like a lot of people that only play competitive multiplayer games that don’t have support for Linux for whatever reason. Or they’re using a Nvidia GPU.

as expected with the Simplified Chinese language dropping the Linux stats have shot back up.

Am I an idiot? I don’t understand what this means. Why would they drop Chinese from their languages? And why would dropping Chinese make people switch to Linux?

“Spying” implies the user doesn’t know about it.

Virtually every platform collects this information, partly as a service to the user, so I don’t think it’s completely ridiculous.

One thing I do appreciate about Nintendo is that it works completely offline so if you don’t want them to have any info about you, you can keep it.

Yes and no. It’s super rudimentary. Android-only auto-backup through the app. It puts them into their own partition. You can’t manually upload anything.

when the company eventually folds or changes their policy for the worst, it’s a nightmare to get your photos and videos to another platform.

That’s why “portability” is important. Ente matches this bar for me.

But yeah, when it comes to one-off products like this you need 1 subscriptions for photos, one subscription for files, one subscription for docs, etc. Honestly that’s the reason I use Proton.

100%

Well that’s what I meant by “out” but yes.
