One of my favorite songs since I saw them live at the Hurricane festival 2010! Thanks for posting!

So many tweets are faked as screenshots to spread misinformation. I don't know if this post is for real or a joke. So please provide links (via the wayback machine).

Sources of those tweets?

Okay, understood. May be SteamOS was the incorrect wording. I meant the Linux Kernel, Arch, Proton. I am assuming most changes are related to hardware and software compatibility which should all be open source.

Yes, thats how Open Source works or they can keep paying Windows. Asus knows their hardware much better than Valve does and has a much bigger interest in a good user experience, but currently lacks the incentive, because Windows is a „good“ paid alternative. Honestly I don't understand all the downvotes.

Thats false! There is already a link to the wikipedia article, but here is the relevant quote: „but uses hardware restrictions or digital rights management (DRM) to prevent users from running modified versions of the software on that hardware.“

It is not a violation of the GPL 2, the license of the Linux kernel, but only the GPL 3 which was basically created for this case. Linus Torvalds is a big defender of the GPL 2 and said that Tivo provided good patches for the hardware they used.

I didnt even think about it, but looking it up „a European“ is correct. It‘s not about the letter, but the sound.

As a European it makes me proud to get a direct shout out from Linus 🫶🏻

Has anyone tried it? I am thinking about using it on some Raspberry Pi 5.

Definitely Widelands! It captures the heart of settlers 2 while also extending it in ways that were really needed to make it even more enjoyable. Also with the right controller layout it plays very ergonomically. (Use a trigger to switch to map scrolling via the touchpads)
