I’ve been using Linux for approximately 20-25 years.

If we’re talking about what one thing steam does well? Gaming!

It handles dependencies, and it makes windows games transparent to Linux users (you don’t even know it’s being emulated). In fact, from my understanding, some games run better than in windows in some cases

If you’re using controllers, steam input also makes games a lot more playable.

If we’re talking about the Unix philosophy though, what one thing does the Linux kernel do?

The Unix philosophy better targets daemons then user facing apps. In fact, if you look at xorg/xfree, one could argue it is one thing. But if you break it down into a different perspective, it could mean many things


Why would you avoid steam 😂

It is popular for a reason and Linux on desktop would be even more dead if it wasn’t for them (and proton)


People use steam because it’s good service, and a good product.

In fact, they also gave Linux a boost

They also have things like cloud saving

Developers use them because apparently they have some awesome features too for things like multiplayer and such and a great API


It no longer works properly for me and no longer loads on my diy steam machine. Is this what your referring to?


After screwing over all the CPU owners, I can safely say I’ll pass…

They don’t seem to be taking the CPU fixing seriously
