    I’ve held off on saying it until now (I haven’t), but now I’m going to call it (again):

    This is the year of the Linux Desktop.

    (It feels like someone influential at Microsoft is trying to protect my reputation and force my prediction to come true.)

      What does that mean. What does “the year of the Linux desktop” mean, really? And why is it different than last year?

      I finally switched my gaming rig two weeks ago. Been great so far, except VR and I’ll admit, the Xbox Game Pass missing…I wish gog or someone would come up with something like it, because there have been a lot of games I started and didn’t finish because they just haven’t been my cup of tea…

      Now if Autodesk would get their shit together as well, things could be happening at work as well.

        my controller, on the other hand, never worked in the browser, so it kinda made it pointless thatn gamepass worked

        I think subscription would go against gog and its DRM policy (how would they enforce a subscription period without DRM), specially because gog is like the last place where we can have something that resembles owning a game nowadays.

      I setup my ROG Ally to dual boot Linux about a week ago and have had plugged into a monitor and I have not had any issues using it in desktop mode. If not for Easy Anti-cheat I’d being a thing I wouldn’t have much reason to keep windows on my main pc.

        If not for Easy Anti-cheat

        Linux, through Steam, has EAC.

        Just search the Steam store (it’s free).
