Start going after the desktop market , or at least some of it, with Steam OS 3 public release?

Attached to: Forget 'Snow Sequoia'. Now I'm Cheering for Better Linux Hardware
I've run Linux at home for YEARS!! I tend to hop between Fedora and Ubuntu. There are a bunch of other good distros. Everything works well. For simple stuff I haven't had to jump through any configuration hoops. Steam runs amazing. Caveat, I have Ryzen 7 + AMD Rx 6700Xt video so drivers are NOT an issue. The only games that do NOT work on steam are the Battlefield games. I have a windows 11 vm in case theres something that I just have to have for windows, also an old windows 11 laptop with build in nvidia GPU so I leave it win 11. If I really need something that just won't run on a linux or a vm , I have that. So far I've only had to resort to VM once. When I do want to play battlefield games I run them on the Laptop. 2TB nvme drives are cheap, so you could do the same thing with dual boot.

Attached to: Torvalds: Rust Kernel Code Isn't Forced In Over Maintainers' Objections
I'm Running into this a work. We have YEARS of Java code and it's a Mess. Look I did Java for 20+ years. It still works, but our group is doing micro services in Kubernetes. Go (or Rust) works better since it's compiled, we don't have to create pods configured with a JDK + other Java stack things... Gradle etc .. For Micro services its easier, faster. We have other old guys that just won't let it go. On top of that the younger developers we get are hard to keep, cause they don't want to do Java. We switched to Playwright + Typescript for testing and got rid of Selenium + Java, you would've thought we were running puppies through a garbage disposal they people were acting. Change is hard.

Attached to: Are 'Career Catfishers' Justified In Not Showing Up for Work?
The way companies hire now is also completely screwed up. They post phantom jobs to 'Gage Interest' then ask for a pile of credentials that are not necessary. I worked some where a few years ago, they hired this individual with a whole list of Java certifications. They couldn't even write basic simple code, let alone work through production code ( On a dev env) with a debugger to figure out what was broken. Not sure how they got all the certifications. Stuff like that. You force someone to apply for 100 jobs so they can get 1 or 2 offers. Yeah they might forget to let #2 know they aren't showing up.

Attached to: Is 2025 the Year of the Linux Desktop?
There's a saying , in the AF, the Last B-52 Pilot has not been born yet. The First Linux User , when it actually becomes the year of desktop Linux, has not been born yet. Thus we are stuck in an infinite loop.

The Pot Called the Kettle Black .. Now they both have gone from the frying pan into the fire. This is worse for VMWare, many companies are abandoning them with their massive price hikes.

MicroSoft WANTS you have to pay them licenses for EVERYTHING. WIndows, Office, Gamepass..... Instead of a three hundred dollar cable bill, it will now be a $300.00 MS365 bill. No thanks Linux, Libre office and Steam work fine..
