I’ve tried it a couple times since the steam deck came out. Kionoite and Silverblue. Just ended up back on Kubuntu upgrading with every 6 month release. I still use Distrobox. Just don’t feel the need for an atomic base yet. May try again someday but for now I like having a Debian/Ubuntu base and easy option to use PPAs when I want

I’m hoping Steam Machines usher in good TV/movie streaming apps for Linux. I’d love to use a miniPC with a remote to replace AndroidTV/Roku

It does look really good. Hoping that the Steam Deck, Machine, and Frame are all successful to a point where there’s more interest in TV/gamepad centric UI applications for Linux. Don’t need much variety. Pretty much media apps

Steam has been the primary indie platform for games for like 15 years. Xbox had a moment in the early Xbox love arcade but the time the Xbox One came out, it was Steam and it has been ever since especially after Greenlight and early access

Going back to the spike TV days, it has always seemed to me that Geoff just wants glitz and glamour in video gaming that he can enjoy. And then with age that makes the glitz and glamour crowd for him also get older. Video game developers, welcome to the art gallery world, film/book/music/stage/television awards. It’s a bunch of old people with money and glitz and younger glamour that call themselves producers of any kind they can think of predators trying to party and network and that’s about it. Thing is with the game awards is that award shows peaked back in like 2005-2010 before YouTube and social media really took over media gossip. The game awards has been trying to make some prestige event out of a dying format that lost credibility with how non-inclusive these awards actually are. And I’m not talking about American social politics inclusiveness, I’m talking awards shows that want to be American/Euro-centric in a media landscape that is increasingly not that. So awards shows we know out here are declining marketing platforms for their potential domestic sponsors too because they’re just not able to appeal to people like they used to when these shows aren’t recognizing peoples super favorite game from like Colombia or China that was a hit on Steam but never paid a dime in advertising to American and European media organizations so get no media coverage

At least it’s a practice what you preach example. I know far more people that love to preach and the attention it gives them and then mostly does the exact opposite. Sometimes so much to the opposite that they’re more predatory than things/people they preach against
