No, because a Nintendo console is not a PC. Steam Deck and the other SteamOS devices have a literal “Enter Desktop Mode” feature and desktop use is (as seen in the promotional picture) an advertised feature.

What‘s non desktop equipment?

Gamers will not make Linux better

Gamers as a customer base is literally what‘s driving GPU driver developments. Valve and their contractors are among the main driving forces in development of the FOSS Linux stack.

Told me it doesn’t know specifics without logging in. Knew join date and basic stats from the user page

What does it do in doom?

• K: Keys
• F: Firearms
• A: Ammunition/Armor

or Keys, Full Ammo.

IDFA is the same but without the keys, so you still get to go keyhunting.

the company has been pushing forward with its flagship phones for the betterment of the entire Android ecosystem, rather than just its own benefit

Pretty sure making it harder to install a custom ROM (potentially without GApps) on Pixel phones is mostly driven by its own benefit.

Depends. Arch Linux, yes. Linux Mint, no.

Yeah, but don’t they tend to incorporate any apps in the GNOME desktop if they deem it worthy?

If there is mutual consensus to join forces, yes. I’m very critical of Gnome and their UX demands but in this case I don’t think Newelle as any chance to be mainlined into Gnome without some changes. I don’t think Gnome developers would be interested in an AI assistant that connects to Google and OpenAI. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qwersyk/Newelle/master/screenshots/3b.png

Currently it’s a third party application for Gnome.

Something, something nice bings and oat sides.

I hope F-Droid comes to EGS. Tim Sweeny is a crusader for openness after all…

I have a Chromebook with a Ryzen APU (Ryzen 3250 or smth). And while it handles all web tasks really well, it completely struggles with Android Apps. Even apps like “YouTube Kids” or “Prime Video” run far worse than their web couterparts.

That’s why future ChromeOS won’t be a dedicated OS with an Android running in a VM. They’ll be actual Android.

Your personal bias against Flatpak is irrelevant to the lie that no stable development target exists.

It exists. That’s a fact, whether you like it or not doesn’t matter.

Linux doesn’t have a stable target to develop against

That’s an often repeated lie. https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/available-runtimes.html

I don’t even know where to begin troubleshooting it.

Not really your task, though. You are a paying customer and the developer needs to accommodate you, not the other way around. Easiest way should be that the developer provides a Flatpak version.

In a larger sense, I think supporting them would be supporting gaming on Linux as a whole.

Bottles and similar projects don’t develop the underlying technology, though. That’s Wine. Bottles is a front-end with a bunch of support scripts.

Why not just use the Linux version directly?

I don’t know how much of the 3 million installs I represent but I installed it, found the whole process to create a bottle an unnecessary hurdle and didn’t see any functional benefits over the five or so alternatives that also aim to make Windows software compatible with Linux. The Gnome headerbar UI also is alien on both game and desktop modes of SteamOS.

So I uninstalled it.

Works every time for me.

Then you use different applications than I. For me X alone only works sometimes. It’s not like I made the shortcut up. It’s literally what Valve is documenting:
