@gamingonlinux I had no clue this was a distro specific issue! Ever since switching to Linux I had to retire my VR headset since I couldn’t get it to work.

Seeing that Valve is working on this makes me hopeful to try it out again soon!

@gamingonlinux When you make a Linux-based OS that can't play Linux natively games...

> What does Playtron have to do with Crypto?

FFFFuuuuu.... I hope the answer would be less than nothing.

> Is PlaytronOS open source?
> At first, only the operating system code will be open source. We have plans to open source more...

Yeah, I really hope they mean that seriously. I want gaming to happen on Linux, but I'd really like everything that does not strictly have to be proprietary for business sustainability to be Open Source, and preferrably Free as in Freedom.

Sigh. Google flagged gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/clas as containing "Malicious or unwanted software" with no way on the adsense control panel to speak to them, to get them to recheck it.

It's a news article about a game, that links to the GPL source code (GitHub) and a Steam page.

What about that is "Malicious or unwanted software" exactly?

@gamingonlinux malicious blah blah is anything they don't force you to keep xD

@gamingonlinux it sucks that Google dominates web search. I've switched to using DuckDuckGo and Ecosia. I know Bing powers them, but still more refreshing to use those services. I hope Google doesn't keep you down!

Is Open XR the thing that would let me view websites/media inside a window in steam/vr?

Someday need to figure that out for Elite Dangerous....

My pal @gardiner_bryant just released Dudelings: Arcade Sportsball on Steam. It's basically Pong meets Foosball - check it out:

@gamingonlinux I'm always ready for a little more roguelite action in-between larger games. And, at $2, it's a no-brainer to grab it and check it out. Downloading now.

@gamingonlinux I know Sony made a mistake but I feel like the outcome and customers' response to the forced login should have been obvious from the get-go.

Still, I am glad they turned it around. 🙂

@gamingonlinux I wish people were smart, this way companies would stop maling stupid and greedy decisions, because at the end of the day, THE CONSUMERS have power over THE COMPANIES

@gamingonlinux not sure I agree with this, I think government intervention is the best approach here — the law we need is basically exactly the EU cookie law but for online services: any server or account that is genuinely required to make the game work is allowed without change but ones that exist purely to track or police users must be strictly optional and users can't be penalised for opting out. The penalty can be the same: 4% of gross income. The EU passing that law seems to me way more realistic than expecting consumers to boycott basically the entire AAA games industry when that industry has been basically evil for years now and hasn't been boycotted out of that yet.

@gamingonlinux it would be nice to see a similar petition where the ask it to have a publication of the server side software as open source or even source available so communities car run their own servers or even on localhost

If you wondering how I deal with anti-trans people in the @gamingonlinux Discord this should give you an idea:

I don't stand for it.

@gamingonlinux I thought for a second that I missed an announcement of the next generation of Steam Machines called "Steam PC".
