I’ve been a Linux hacker for a quarter of a century.

No, nobody ever needs Docker.

You’re not really selling it. Fucking up my gaming system with Docker bloat is that last thing I’d want.

Support the vast majority of titles with minimal friction right out of the box.

I don’t want to have do dick around and tweak shit when I want to relax with a video game; I’ve got plenty of other Linux boxes for tinkering. I want to be able to slap an OS on a PC and have it be Steam Deck But Bigger.

Can’t wait for full-fledged Steam OS for general PCs.

My Steam Deck has neither a large screen nor surround sound, nor is it a standalone controller

And people who use controllers in general. And people with small screens. And people with poor vision. And …

Please believe it when a seasoned professional informs you that ingesting user feedback, implementing good UIs, and optimization are all hard work.

That … that’s the hard work.

Working harder on your game makes it better! Wow!

But seriously, it’s great that Valve is leading the way pushing demand for this.

That sounds like too much cognitive load. Stick go left, guy go left.

You use both thumbsticks for identical movement control?

This is wild to me. Holding my arms perfectly still is practically impossible for me. The idea of a game using my pose and unconscious arm movements as input is positively gameplay-wrecking.

Hard to imagine a “wrong charger” doing that unless it’s a piece of unregulated cheap Chinese crap

To be fair, it’s not that difficult.

At least they found one that could form a coherent sentence.
