They have been making a willful choice to not use any of their money to support Linux
I believe they give Heroic Launcher affiliate links (so if you buy GOG games via Heroic then they get a cut) so they are giving a small amount of their money to support Linux. What they’re not giving is any time/effort.
Sure it’s been speculated, but if there were obvious signs like commits in the fex repos by valve employees then wouldn’t there have been more than speculation?
Valve has been secretly funding Fex, an open-source project to bring Windows games to ARM, for almost a decade
In this age of leaks and industry insider speculation I’m very impressed they’ve kept this under wraps for so long
I’ll second this, seemed to work without any issues. You can even install ChromeOS Flex on it if you still want to use a Chromebook after they stop getting updates!
They both seem to cover that fortunately
Oh that’s cool
Not something I have any interest in using, so afraid I’ve never tried it
I tried it out recently but the gesture typing seemed way worse than heliboard
Depends how many games you have on the go at once and how fast your internet is, I’ve never felt limited by the 256GB model
You didn’t fill in the survey when the password inspector sent you that email? Rude!
Can’t run the risk of being fingerprinted, privacy and anonymity first!

That’s the thing, for many Windows users it has been giving you a good time for years. Windows 10 was actually pretty nice to use when it came out; it’s life has been a classic death-by-a-thousand-cuts of becoming spyware, but the users are so used to it they aren’t aware that their delicious drug isn’t giving the same high and is now fucking them up.
I usually just put it in sleep mode which is fine when I’m playing regularly, but if I don’t play for more than a week or so then I’ll find out the battery has died.
Sleep if you want to pause mid-game, power off if you’re organised enough to know you won’t be playing for a few days!
Is “AI” just a meaningless buzzword? Like, is there actually anything in common between this hurricane tool, the LLM chatbots, and the image-generation stuff?
Now glue joycons to the side and batteries to the back to make a steam deck!
Here is a good resource for whether you can install another OS on a particular Chromebook
They get what I have so when they have questions I’m more likely to know, and if I don’t I have a machine with me that I can check. It was Mint when I was still learning, now it’s Fedora Atomic. Or for the really tech-averse, ChromeOS Flex.
I have an xbox controller (I think it’s a “series” one, but could be a “one” one, they look the same) and it seems to run fine with a steam deck. There’s probably a little latency, but it’s pretty negligible.
Video content is not that popular in general, but I can’t imagine posting a link with no information in the title, thumbnail, or description helps!
