Since Valve’s midas touch, KDE Plasma has been pure gold for gaming. I love it.

It’s a win for everyone except Epic. PURE BLISS.

The only better alternative (for me) would be a bunch of DRM free stores feeding their catalogues to an open source front-end that has everything that Steam already does.

Like Heroic, Lutris, Playnite, etc. But way more developed features and with official vendor support and a built-in unified store that supports all catalogues in the same view, like a federated marketplace.

That would be the only thing capable of moving me away from Steam completely.

I love Gnome, for me… their UI is the most beautiful of any desktop OS. But I had to move to KDE Plasma primarily for all the gaming related features that come out first on Plasma. That led me to see just how much flexibility I was missing.

Now I greatly value both desktop environments, both visions are valid, but they cater completely different minded users.

This is really cool.

Please share an example podcast title & author.

I would love to see the OS share. I bet us Linux users are all over it, since right now it is the only tool we can use to do all of that in the same place and easily.

It would be useful if you could compare it to current FOSS alternatives. I mean, why this instead of say… Ironcalc, collabora, etc.

They already have a badge for that.

How does it compare (as it is right now) to other open source games similar to Minecraft ?

I’m so eager to get this. So many improvements.

I wouldn’t give them a dime even if it meant playing my favorite series’ sequel. I don’t like the people behind it, I don’t like how they think, I don’t like what they envision for the industry, and I don’t want to contribute in any measure to any of that ever happening.

It will depend on how upstream (Fedora Silverblue) implements it. From my understanding, it will straight up replace it, and remove SDDM.

KDE Linux will probably have it first.

My biggest issue: no support for rdp

Pet peeve: In immutable distros you can’t change the background image… and I happen to strongly dislike Aurora’s artwork. I run Aurora on my work laptop, and my login screen looks like some kind of a bizarre childish acid trip. Embarrassing to say the least, but the distro itself is top notch.

In Bazzite it’s usually between same day and 24 hours, since the build process is fully automated.

I agree 100%. Gnome is gorgeous. I switched to KDE because they get gaming related features first, I assume because of the Valve collab.

You won’t lose it. They’ll just turn it off by default for new users.

That’s exactly what’s happening.

In my opinion, it’s either Bazzite or CachyOS.
