Linux massively beats Windows

History has been made.

I didn't know you could beat windows, I thought it was a weird open world game.

Windows is a strange game. It seems the only winning move is not to play.

Much like another game, that we just lost.

At some point in the future I'll come find you and remind you of what you took from me.

Can we install this on PC yet? Sick of windows and all I do in my desktop is gaming via steam

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Well, you can install any Linux distro and play there. For example Nobara, which is gaming focused.

[–] okamiueru@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

You.... can just install the steam client on just about any Linux distro?

[–] JanUwU42@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just install Bazzite on your PC

I thought that was a porn site... Never mind 😁

No haha it’s a Just-Works Linux Distribution for gaming x)

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'm hoping they make a desktop version but I've been testing Linux mint on all the games I can download and I'm pretty sure it's running better than my win10 boot.

So the fact that the other distros are an option that's relatively accessible makes me think there's less value to valve releasing the desktop version any time soon.

Probably, but this is more likely Windows being shit on lower end hardware, doing a lot of background crap that has no place on a handheld gaming device.

Gasoline massively beats molasses in cars.

Dave’s got a lot of mileage out of that video. Famous overnight essentially! Seeing this type of article everywhere
