GNU Hurd Is Almost There!!!

Also Rocket League was bought by EGS and turned exclusive after it already had a following

Doesn’t change that the cited growth happened recently which is years after the takeover.

Too bad you have neither a clue nor some talent to at least make a funny comment.

Buying games on Steam serves 100% my self interest. Some of that money goes into improving open source Linux technologies which I personally benefit from.

If you cannot make factual comments, at least learn how to be funny instead.

Why is Lemmy so against the existence of nuance?

if you use unreal engine but don’t sell on egs they get a 5% royalty fee on all your sales.

Sounds like abusing market power.

But Epic is super successful. Its Unreal Engine has almost the entire gaming landscape in a stranglehold and is making big gains in film productions.

Fortnite is one of the most successful games on Earth and EGS exclusive Rocket League recently achieved one million concurrent players.

But it will come back at the next big update.

Not if the update is called Bazzite.

Ubuntu is the windows of linux

Way less successful, though.

It wasn’t for a while.

Cannot read a German news article about German news? Your problem. I’m 100% correct.

Politician A sells out to MS

The previous administration did.

Migration back to Windows begins

Which the previous administration did do and the new administration did not reverse on desktops. Windows and MS Office remain in use.

Politician B says “hell no” (hyperbole) to Microsoft switch back

There was no “hell no”. They adopted a few FOSS tools on Windows. Windows and MS Office remain in use. I already provided a source from June 2025, so quite recent.

Politician B halts the migration

You clamed there was no Microsoft migration. You claimed that any sort of Migrosoft migration is garbage misinformation. You’re a blatant liar.

“In May 2020, it was reported that the newly elected politicians in Munich, while not going back to the original plan of migrating to LiMux wholesale, will prefer Free Software for future endeavours.”

So you lied. You claimed that Munich said “Hell no” to Microsoft Migration but here you spell it out yourself: The politicians did sell out to Microsoft and only newly elected politicians partially reversed it.

They use Windows and MS Office on desktops to this day and use Linux on servers and some FOSS tools ON WINDOWS DESKTOPS.

I was right, you lied.

People who still use WinRAR kinda deserve that. Seriously. WinRAR in 2026? Like WTF.

You first

Are you afraid to provide any reference to your claim? Do you need extra time making up stuff?

“Die 43 000 städtischen Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter nutzen also mittlerweile wieder Word, Outlook und PowerPoint […] Einfacher sei die Software-Frage bei den Servern im städtischen Rechenzentrum zu beantworten. Zwar haben man durchaus auch Windows-Server, aber die meisten laufen mit Linux, so Gernhardt.” (29. Juni 2025) https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/muenchen-verwaltung-open-source-it-microsoft-li.3256886

So Linux on servers, Windows including MS Office on desktops. The migration to Linux on desktops was completely reversed.

So where is ““hell no!” (prob in German) and continued the Linux rollout”? Where has it been “garbage misinformation”? Where are the exact stats about opening tickets? After all, you claim “Linux users filling only 40% the number of tickets the Windows users did”. That’s pretty specific.

they have loads of patents that are hard to avoid

China doesn’t care about patents of outsiders.

Once these countries leave, they’ll never go back.

Look up LiMux and the massive Microsoft deal that followed.

HACK THE PLANET!

I mean, no phone controller has the same layout as the steam controller.

100% exactly the same layout is impossible, when there has to be room for the phone cradle in the middle. If you want to clip the phone above the Steam Controller, just get one of those plastic holders where you can attach the regular Steam Controller at the bottom side.

If Valve could implement the software to support steaminput when streaming games to a phone from your PC or a cloud PC, that’d be kinda cool.

Steam Link already exists and Steam Input runs on the PC.

a controller with feature parity with the Steam Controller would be an innovation.

The phone’s touch screen already provides the touch pad functionality when using one of the controllers pictured above.

Maybe too far outside their wheelhouse still but can you imagine a Steam Phone?

Valve allows redistribution of the Steam client. Other than resources, there is little that would stop companies like Jolla to put the Steam client on their phones.
