Effort costs money so they won’t make any.

Well, at least in Tim Sweeney’s twisted mind that’s how it works. In reality, spending $100,000 to have a developer actually support the year would do way more to get long term customers on the store while coating a pittance jn comparison to how much EGS spent on exclusivity deals.

And hopefully by that time they’ve built up the open source community enough that even if Valve turned bad they wouldn’t be able to do much damage

“Zero gravity” isn’t actually zero gravity. In orbit, you’re still falling, the planet is just curving away at the same rate as the fall

Who is that?

One good thing (and likely the only good thing) about the current RAM shortage is that people are probably not going to be buying games that “require” 64GB of RAM anymore, forcing those devs to optimize

like Bazzite, Cachy, Chimera, Nobara, etc.

ChimeraOS has exactly the same support issue as Steam OS

They’ve been selling hardware with it pre-installed by the millions for years,

And it’s only really been released on 2 specific hardware configurations.

If you try to install SteamOS onto a custom built computer, you can get it to mostly work on an all-AMD build, assuming you’re fine with not having printer drivers. But if you have an Nvidia GPU you’ll be lucky if it gets past the bootloader.

That’s why Valve hasn’t released SteamOS fully

And the absence of as many formal modding tools is,

Again: most of those already work on Linux

You’re just repeating a myth

As an engineer, piss off with this pretentious crap.

And the answer to that is:

No one is stopping you from making it.

I’d argue that there’s just no need. Vortex, Mod Organizer 2, and other major mod managers already work on Linux.

Personally, I think the need for the modding community is a fediverse-based modding network to compete with Nexus in case they get enshittified. And file sharing could run off of torrents to keep server costs down.

Hell, the install script pretty much handles itself

No, it’s not a toggleable preference.

It’s similar to the EULA and third-party account disclosures where they’re mentioned on individual store pages, but you can’t specifically filter them out of searches without setting them up as tags

Don’t buy LG anything. Everything I’ve bought from them has suckes

That’s why you enable mods in small batches. When you get an issue it’s a lot easier to find the offender.

Also, if you’re getting a CTD on startup you’re probably missing a dependency. Mod Organizer 2 is a lot better with warnings about that than Vortex
