> Only people without GamePass subscription and no desire to get it for even a month or two would buy the game on Steam

So the majority of people?

I jest, but I honestly don't know anyone who consults the GamePass offerings before making a decision on whether or not to buy a game. It's Steam or pirate.

Never claimed it was. This is (essentially) a shortcut to a dedicated steamOS session. You could just plug the machine into a display, connect a controller, and open the steam 10ft ui.

The issue in your setup is Windows^tm. (what I do) gaming machine's shell profile,

  if [[ $(tty) == "/dev/tty2" ]]; then
  <insert your steamOS session invocation/args here>; sudo chvt 1; exit
  fi
then all you need is some event(s) to trigger changing to tty2 on the target machine. perhaps when a controller connects, or your tv changes input, or you press a button on your tv/tv box remote.

I understand what you meant.

  > the reason nobody offers better software is that people don’t want it enough
I wouldn't say that's THE reason, or even a contender. The average user has little agency over what the established tools are. There is no pressure to change the tools because there is no competition. You use what your employer dictates. office and/or gsuite.

Whether or not people 'want it enough' has very little to do with whether something actually occurs.

  > average user is a little bit annoyed from time to time but not enough to actually care
this part is still true.

This implies that a better version is on offer. It is not. You get the telemetry stuffed, stuttery garbage, and your company pays for it.

The article does not mention switching kernels. It comments on the size of the kernel + modules; and trimming down unused modules.

Of all the things to get nixpilled over, this isn't one.

  > rsync my entire home directory out to all the laptops
Interesting approach. Whether it could be considered 'better' or not depends on what your 'handful of shell scripts' do.

> Chinese nationals should be assumed to act on behalf of China

I acknowledged this, you quoted it.

> it really isn't difficult to understand...

Where does 'it' end? Is the subsidiary not operating at the behest of their parent? I need to know when it's safe to no longer be scared.

No worries, I was just confused, and in part was genuinely wondering if there was a vendor that sold xiaomis in the states because I'd buy one.

Apparently, whether or not the engineers are Chinese is the deciding factor. as long as Nicklas Backstrom is designing the EV, its all good. Or in other words, Chinese scary!

Ok I'll bite: what is the obvious thing I'm supposed to be getting from your ellipses?

are you implying there is a US-based, third-party provider of xiaomi devices, BYD cars?

or are you just referring to hosted providers of those AI models?

Not who you are replying to, nor do I agree with their take (no sign of irony, complete lack of self awareness, and just blatantly xenophobic. not suprised by it either). but they did already address this:

Does "the numbers" refer to observable data or gross generalization?

> I would sit down to play a game spend maybe an hour or two fixing issues and then after that I ran out of time to play the game

I know you framed this as a negative, but this is something I yearn for; It's the one of the best games, imo. I often wish I ran into more issues, but for the most part, things _just work_^TM.

I can't speak to Halo Infinite, but for SoT that's what worked for me. Another commenter is saying they were able to auth with a passkey (for infinite), which I never tried (for SoT), but id imagine it would work.

Heroic is a launcher aggregate/wrapper I think? for 'Epic, GOG and Amazon Prime Games' It's either Steam, native/standalone or arr for me. for non-steam stuff I use umu.

* I should add that I am launching a steam purchased copy of SoT, not the one from Xbox store/gamepass or what have you, so the process is likely different, but maybe not cus you are likely going to see the same auth popup served via wine/proton.
