Git & Github would be awesome

Github so that I can get it to sync instantly, and git for when I finally get time to learn how to self host it.

It's a valid POV. My take is opposite: All the CDs and DVDs I ever bought will eventually fail to work, the disc drives will fail to work too. My Steam account is 21 years old. I can still play games I bought 21 years ago, even on my Steam Deck and desktop Linux PCs.

2K Launcher is finally no more - that's at least one publisher making things better for gamers in c/[email protected]

I wish Sony comes to the same conclusion soon.

My comment was a joke about their load tests being subpar.

Not being able to play the world's most popular games, means most gamers aren't ready for Linux yet.

FC25
GTA V
LOL
Fortnite

And more.

I hate those games, but my kids want to play FC25, and for that... I still have a dreaded Windows PC.
