Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME away from home for disgruntled /r/linux_gaming denizens of the redditarian demesne.

I just think it's pretty cool that Felix, who has never really mentioned anything Linux before, chose to go with a Linux distro for the PC he put together.

Ohhh. He used linux on it? I saw the thumbnail, but figured I didnt eant to see a compute build be chained down my windows. Time to actually give it a watch now
I love Linux because it's good for everyone -- Even insufferably annoying internet personalities who are also somewhere between 'carelessly edgy' and 'actually a fascist'. 💩💩💩💩💩
I hope he does a video on it !
Saw this stop when watching the video yesterday. He mentioned it one earlier in his ad read which I totally missed (thank sponsor block), but noticed it too when I saw the desktop. Personally think this is great, if someone has a big reach it's Pewdiepie, though I doubt he'd ever make a video on it, but he might mention it here and there. Either way, great more people are realizing what a breeze Linux is.
Linux doesn't make up for being a nazi.
To what are you referring to?
the streaming in an SS uniform and paying people on fiverr to hold up signs saying "death to all jews", probably
the streaming in an SS uniform […]
Do you have a source?
I seem to be a bit behind on pewdiepie being a nazi sympathizer, mind enlightening me?
This video is a good place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnmRYRRDbuw
Last I heard, Pewdiepie has been trying to pass it off as jokes, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. (And whether or not he's "a nazi" deep in his heart doesn't matter. He's doing and spreading naziism.)
PewDiePie is a Nazi sympathizer.
We can even replace "Nazi sympathizer" with a shorthand designation: "Nazi"
i thought he got wife and kid to cosplay whole some, family friendly persona
The year of the linux desktop is upon us... right guys?
It might actually be. Linux gaming has come an awful long way thanks to Wine, Steam, Proton, Wayland, etc. Driver support is improving with or without the manufacturer's help. OpenGL's constant playing catch-up with DirectX has given way to the limitless potential of Vulkan. The web has moved almost entirely to properly open standards like WebExtensions and Canvas, and has become powerful enough that many well-known apps are literally just Electron wrappers around a HTML/Javascript core that can run on any plaform. Likewise Mono has implemented almost all of .NET and even Microsoft's own ".NET core" cross-platform (mostly so it can run on containers and cloud more effectively, not to help Linux specifically, but we'll take it) All these buzzword technologies add up to a seriously strong open source gaming ecosystem, and distros like SteamOS, Bazzite, and others are finally starting to put all these pieces together and polish them into something seriously usable as a daily driver and for gaming.
And once you've got the gamers and enthusiasts, you're on the cutting edge, you've got the tip of the spear, and the rest of the spear tends to follow where they lead. Is it happening? Too early to tell, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility. The "Year of the Linux desktop" has always been a joke, but some people weren't joking and have been seriously working on it. That work appears to be starting to really pay off. Combined with Microsoft's various Windows 11 missteps continuing to fuel the fire, a lot of people are increasingly receptive to alternatives.
Funny how the "Year of Linux" had to switch to the "Year of Desktop Linux". Any place Microsoft can not use their vendor lockin strategy, some you mention, Linux eventually dominates.
Always has been
I still live in the '96 year of the Linux desktop. Red Hat hasn't enterprised yet, Debian is the scrappy new underdog, and the kernel maintainers are all young, flexible, and open to new technologies.
Linux is upon us in %CURRENTYEAR%
There's a timestamp in the youtube link that skips to the very end. Is that on purpose? Or were you just trying to show the terminal?
It's the part in the video where you can see the Linux Desktop.
