Comment by lemmyvore@feddit.nl on Take my money, Valve

Without both Valve and Nvidia, gaming on Linux would still be in its infancy today.

We’re living in an amazing timeline right now, where Linux gets excellent support from the largest PC gaming store and from all the main graphics manufacturers, without having to suck any Microsoft dick for it.

The fact some people still act entitled about it is blowing my mind. Gaming on desktop Linux is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the general PC population. Any support is a miracle let alone first class support.

It can also go away just like that if any of those companies’ goals change.

And we’re complaining about passive DRM and copy protection? For something that’s a luxury product to begin with and very much a first world problem? Wow.

Hint: :q!

Including Unix and BSD.
Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
