Still on 10 here, turned off the TPM chip, got kubuntu on a second drive, just hoping proton can get the other 70% of my vr library to recognise before EoL

I get where you are coming from. This will let 1 set of users know to call their tech friend and the 2nd set will be ready to learn a bit and will learn the adult words vs the eli5 one they started with

“you may also consider fully reformatting your operating system”

Could be for the layman who does not understand the difference between OS and drive. Remember not everyone using steam actually knows how their pc works or even what is inside of it

We had a store just around the corner, where I used to live with a friend, we could rent 2 PS1 games for a month for $30 and since we would burn thru both of the games in a week usually we could return them and get 2 more for what the tax would be. Great times and my last console

Agreed, it was a good thing for him he was a lawyer, but he took so much shit for it, hence “That depends on what the meaning of the word IS is”

r/republican is melting down over the removal/no more Twitter links thing

Thank you

Darn, so you mean “We expect most SteamOS users to get SteamOS preinstalled on a Steam Machine” meaning handhelds?

Here I thought maybe they would go full fledged desktop OS 😞

Yet or ever

Ohhh, I can’t wait to pay a sub for my OS… that I will have no control over

All it took for me to never buy Ubi again was their launcher

So… Do we see an AI NFT game coming out with with ($30+)monthly subs that is basically an asset flip?

That is one hell of a wifi connection, lol

How did you get access to my pc???

It is where someone, who will most likely never have to do something inside that box ever again, gets to over tighten everything so the plugs are held in by sheer force of will and there is not enough slack left to add a sata ssd.

Nope, I didn’t have my last machines wires “managed”

So you sent the same letter to Musk, right? Right?

There is a game called cyubeVR on steam and PS2VR, built from the ground up for vr. It is a great fun game with a solo dev. Highly suggest checking it out, there are quite a few videos on it and it is highly modable. It is sad that the big cos are dropping support

Got an og Vive (699.99 cdn at the time came with headset, controllers, and base stations), playing the hell out of that headset just over a year in steam VR playtime at 2 - 4 hrs a day. I have played Half-Life:VR mod (due to the age of the actual game it is my worst port experience) Half-Life 2: VR mod, Half-Life 2 ep 1 and 2 in VR (absolutely amazing) Raft:VR mod (a few bugs and a few abilities missing from flat, but overall flawless) The Forest:VR mod(excellent), and let’s not forget Valheim:VR mod.

Quest garden can be limiting but you can plug your quest (air link, ?whatever? desktop, link cable) and pretty much play anything on steam, personally have 90+ titles under my VR library (no beat saber). You can check yt for people playing these flat2vr games

Thought I’d missed something, TY. Just give it time and they will integrate it if enough of us keep removing it

Copilot as well? I thought it was that recall thing that was part of explorer

With only 20 of 90 VR games available I’d say I was already fucked over and I am nowhere near the end… Thank you for the suggestions on how to over come the issues I have so far

I have faith steam will continue to improve proton to the point of “it just works”. As well, any new purchases of hardware will be Linux ready.

I must say Linux HAS gotten more user friendly over the last 20/30 years, and the GUIs have gotten more stable. My first Linux distro was red hat enterprise Linux, and then I hopped around to fedora, then mandrake and mandriva, a buddy suggested slack at one point, then I found Ubuntu, and now Kubuntu, I prefer the gnome environment but kde plasma seems to work better. Wayland is also long over due.

I will keep testing and one day I will be joyous. Linux is so close, just a few more years™.

And when support ends graphene goes in

I uninstalled copilot after an update installed it, on win 10

I can tell you my issues, so far.

Logitech G13 left hand kb - no drivers, Steam VR library 20 some of 90 some games come up in steam, Microsoft intellipoint trackball, only left, right, and wheel work but cannot program the other 2 buttons, no BlueStacks - simple to use phone emulator.

Haven’t gotten any further as if VR library is not available there is no point getting rid of windows, and I really want to get rid of windows. I just don’t have the drive I used to, to fix, look up hints, tinker with my os and reinstall new ones. It has to just work. I have Kubuntu installed on a 4tb sata ssd, rtx 4070ti super, Ryzen 7 3800, 32gb ram. In the last month steam VR made some strides as setting up was as seamless as windows, but as I stated I am missing 2/3 of my VR library

I have a microsoft trackball, black body red ball thumb driven, was $35 us/$99 cdn and I bought the first of 2 in 2000 it has not been supported for a long time. I saved the drivers to a usb and am still using the combined trackball today. The 1st tracball had 1 board die in it, bought the second the other board died in that one so I combined the 2 working boards and it still goes strong.

Still havent turned mine on, don’t want no surprises after a long day at work

Hardware breaks into a parody of whatever you are doing

Me - laughing and vibing

Copilot

Another round of layoffs incoming

The force will be with you, always

Do they just enjoy wasting people’s disk space or something?

Short answer, yes

Of course it will come back, soon as Win10 EoL

I remember when I got my forst 120gb drive. I happily installed it on my win 2k and… bios didn’t like it, OS didn’t like it and read its capacity wrong. I forget if I used windows or linux but after I cut the drive into 2x60gb it worked great

That was my thought, or gather the names of these mass layoff companies and do not buy their next title or 2. Again, the devs are already paid

Stadia: I make comeback?

I remember hosting a TS2 server back in the day on my home linux server. Unlimited slots (based on how much/little of my internet I wanted for myself) for free. The windows version was not so much (limited slots). Then TS3 came out and it was not so nice on linux
