Yes, but if they destroy their products (aka drive users away) their real customers (ad companies) will pull out.

If you have a good party to vote for. I'm in the UK, and I'm not so sure if any party deserves my vote.

Yeah. I was once installing Linux, and decided to open firefox in the live environment and watch a video on YT. Ads. Close tab. Reopen tab. Ads again. Fk it, installed Ublock Origin in the live environment and just watched the video. No ads.

You can jailbreak it and play homebrew games, aka pirated games and play game mods.

It's pretty great, but what was the original theme? I preferred it.

Edit: I think it's ~~carbonfox~~, although it's not quite the same as it used to be.

It is actually Indigo, it seems

Hell yeah, I would! I still think this is such a stupid argument.

AND offer good stuff! AND make it actually convenient and worth the money. A single streaming service at $15 a month, no more, that has all the "exclusives", be it Stranger Things, The Mandalorian, or Rings of Power (okay, maybe not that last piece of garbage). Then I would consider paying, and only if it is truly more convenient and offers better quality with less buffering than pirate streaming. Until then, it's a pirate's life for me.

I only just realised you were the person who wrote this as well. I should be the one thanking you! Thank you, thank you very much, for making Linux Gaming accessible and easy to understand.

Google pushed an update allowing them to be used as regular controllers

Nah. They become not-trash when they get the bugs fixed. With what I'm doing I'm hoping to send a message that this way of doing things sucks!

I really like this post. While I'm a self-proclaimed tinkerer, running window managers, Arch and NixOS, I never really understood gaming on Linux: it jusy went over my head, with all the Heroic, Bottles, Lutris, launching through Steam, etc. It feels like I should have understood it months ago. It's so simple once you see someone describe it simply and properly. Thank you so much for that. I can't describe how much I appreciate it.

And I have news for YOU. I WILL keep on supporting the piracy of unoptimised, incomplete garbage games, that use the preorders as beta testers, famous examples being Gollum and Cyberpunk 77. In comparison, I see no problem paying for quality games like Skyrim, or games that have fixed their issues, like Shadow of War removing the microtransactions and fixing most of the bugs. But crap like Gollum (the game, I have a sort of respect and pity for the character) has no place on my system, even if I had Duck Tales money, even if I had a 2 TB RAM, multiple 4090s or whatever the latest overpriced Nvidia crap is, and the latest, most powerful, server level CPUs, with like 128 cores or something, I still wouldn't buy and play this garbage. Alright?

I velieve rhis shpuld be done to teach the lazy bastards in management in those game companies, that if you want good sales, you have to take things a bit slower and poliah the product out. Unfortunately, it seems that they don't give a fuck, because Denuvo protects their games during the first few months of sales, when they make a profit on the garbage they've made. Then they do some bug fixing and move on to the next cash cow. That's how the gaming industry works. And I don't know about you, but I do NOT want to support this mess.
