I don’t know if it’s more resource-efficient, but when I wanted to start using VMs for work, I knew VirtualBox would not be a viable choice (thanks to Oracle and their horrible licensing), so I chose GNOME Boxes and have been pretty happy with it. I didn’t do any tests so I can’t say for certain , but it doesn’t seem like the resource consumption is that much different.

You’re most welcome. I completely understand your situation and is why I don’t constantly tell others to switch. I’m very happy using Linux, but I had to do a lot of learning to get here. I know it’s not realistic for everybody to have the motivation to make the move.

Keep in mind, SteamOS is going to be smooth for gaming, but possibly challenging for other things. Modding will still have some challenges to it and anything that isn’t gaming might not be so easy too. If you plan to use SteamOS when it comes out, the closest experience to it is Bazzite OS with KDE Plasma. If you’re curious enough, setup it up in a VM and try to get your non-gaming software working.

I use Linux daily for work and gaming. Honestly, it’s not there yet for gaming. The closest you’ll get to “it just works” is with the Steam Deck, and even then, modding is not as straightforward most of the time. Very few things, gaming-wise, are easier than Windows and I would’ve struggled had I not already known my way around Linux, thanks to work.

To please the shareholders. Then, when AI is no longer deemed valuable and its tremendous costs sink in, they will remove it and layoff the teams that worked on it, to please the shareholders.

That Pooh movie scared the shit out of me as a kid.

Good thing the word Premium® is there to let me know it’s a high quality product!

Sometimes I think I should revisit BioShock. When I played it over a decade ago, I did so on the Xbox 360 because my PC would’ve probably played it at around 15 FPS. I recall the game not feeling optimized for the console, felt tired of the game at the end, and that its gameplay was overall tedious. I wish I enjoyed it like everybody else.

They always do for their “special” volunteer groups. It’s like working at Microsoft with none of the benefits: drama, unprofessionalism, inconsistent instructions, and expecting you to do a fair amount of work in a certain time frame, all with no pay.

This is, unfortunately, all too familiar to how Microsoft treats volunteer groups. I’m proud of the team for the work they produced and putting their foot down. ~~Halo Studios 343i~~ Microsoft’s behavior towards these teams is ridiculous.

They changed this in a recent update.
