Native Linux support was often problematic because too many developers would use a third party to port the game and then fail to maintain it.
I absolutely love the Steam Deck and I’ll easily take the trade offs that Proton gives us. Maybe one day Linux will gain enough market share to justify more first party native support.
I’m not defending Google but I think the change is just an admission that the old “Chromecast” branding is outdated. It wouldn’t surprise me if less than 5% of users still regularly cast from a desktop browser.
That’s just crazy talk. Crack some skulls and get Half-Life 2 out the door Mr. Newell. Everyone knows that you buy boxed PC games at the mall like normal people.
I’ve been using Fedora CoreOS as my main server in my home lab for a couple years now and have been very happy with it. You still get the convenience of automatic atomic updates and you also have the flexibility of being able to install whatever additional Fedora packages you need with rpm-ostree.
I installed Docker Engine and docker-compose from upstream. You should be able to set SELinux to permissive mode if you need to so it doesn’t enforce any policies.
I’m definitely interested in a modern Steam Machine and I wish them luck. But it’s tough to manage the logistics of crowdfunded hardware if you’re inexperienced and I’ve been burned before. Hopefully they can handle it.
