Isn't most of his ram sitting in a warehouse doing nothing? The irony.

Sure ok your probably ok with KDE. My point is a lot of Ubutnu based distros are not as vanilla. There is going to be a TON of Mint users specifically that are going to expect this to work on their year or two Mint install that are in for a lot...

That is a solid idea. Would the Linux foundation care to be pulled into this? I don't know. Your right though the main issue here is Epic holds the keys. If someone else holds them, maybe. Is Epic ok with not having the control? I doubt Epic is...

The problem is having Epic approve of kernels. I'd imagine Valve would rather have a 3rd party do it instead, as that would be the most fair way forward. The Linux Foundation makes the most sense to act as the ones who approve of secure kernels.

That is technically true, from a specific point of view. The thing is none of the AI companies have proven themselves to be all that trust worthy. Which is exactly why so many people would rather have a local model run their own agents. End of...

I like to keep my data private, thank you. Lizard man can get bent.

if they have their way you'll never build a PC again https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/sam-altman-hates-local-ai-models-computers

Back up Mazz. NO one said the derivative distros would work. Ubuntu proper will get approved sure Its Canacodial they will go along with most things that might result some how in them making money. Dell being able to sell ubuntu gaming laptops...

I don't believe if they blow them off it would be personal at all. Turning Linux into windows isn't the solution Valve is looking for. They didn't want Microsoft to have sway over their store. Why in the world would they want Epic to have sway...

Epic has not approved any lists at this point. All anyone is doing is ground work. EAC2 doesn't exist yet. "Once it's working with a critical mass of distro maintainers, we'll bring Fortnite to Linux via the Epic Games Launcher." You can turn on...

Yes it is impressive that a hobbyist running a distro in his spare time is on board? I love Cachy think Peter does great work but lets not turn him into a titan here or something. He is a guy with a day job helming a Arch based distro, that gets...

You mean "two whole weeks"! Honestly Chad, it's not like anyone stated specifics in relation to time frames here. As for HDMI 2.1, it took Valve around six months to get support running AMD under Linux. If we consider the whole debacle from the...

It took Valve a couple days to make 2.1 work. It took 6 months for them to break the HDMI Forum to allow it to ship. It's not like it was hard to do or something. The HDMI forum was just a no. That is my point Valve was willing to ship new...

2 weeks of silence. Yes we'll see what happens. I don't think they fought with HDMI forum and shipped the cube with out fully functioning HDMI because they were unwilling to include a closed source blob for HDMI. Just to say a few months later ya...

That has never been an issue. You can install windows on the deck if you want. The hardware belongs to the people that bought it. That has always been Valves stance. They were up front from day one selling hardware. If you want to install windows...

Freedom by strong arming from one company to another? That doesn't track from the origination point of this "freedom". Freedom to choose must also have a justified foundation to base said ethos upon.

My guess is if they say anything at all it will be. SteamDeck/Cube are not locked devices they are open always have been. IF you want to install another distro that requires Secure boot... go head. Its your hardware.

Yes, so why is the general thought that they'll agree to work with Epic Games when Tim Sweeney is constantly trash talking Valve, Steam, & Gabe Newell?

Everyone understands they are a company and making money is the goal. At the same time. At about 100 different junctures now, when most companies would have chose to close source X or Y bit or call it proprietary. Valve has done the opposite and...
