From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Even gamers nexus' Steve today said that they're about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It's happening, y'all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Edit: just wanted to clarify that Steve from GN didn't precisely say they're starting to test soon, he said they will start WHEN the steam OS releases and is adopted. Sorry about that.

I've been saying for years: we need a dedicated gaming operating system.

cloud native

Already rings an alarm bell, but thank you for sharing regardless.

Also, their website runs like shit. I don't have much hope for them making a gaming OS that doesn't, but time will tell.

That is astoundingly judgmental. Good lord.

Cloud native is a weird term I'll agree, but it just means container based.

Bazzite is amazing and worth a try. I've been using it as a daily driver for nearly a year now.

Perhaps you'd prefer the Github over their "shit" website: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite

Or perhaps you'd like to positively contribute to the state of Linux gaming, and make some suggestions for the website in their post just for that: Requesting input: Bazzite’s website

At this point when people tell me the website runs like shit I just laugh and tell them they've been filtered. That does 120 FPS on a phone, if you're lagging on that site just go ahead and give up on gaming.

The animations are stuttery for me on ... Fedora Linux.

I bet they'd be smooth as butter on Windows. x)
