I did. That’s my opinion, most people won’t care I care, but most people don’t.

They absolutely have their users by the balls and I guarantee most people will continue to use the app after this, unfortunately.

Top one is the power brick for the Xbox One (the original, VCR-looking one) and the bottom one is the Steam Link.

I would play matchmaking in Halo MCC more if the game wasn’t filled with cheaters. At least when I host custom games, I can ban them and move on.

In short: no, because they were already doing this.

And a lot of spare time.

I would be a lot more excited if I wasn’t worried it was going to cost +$1,099. I hope that I am wrong.

I use Linux daily for work and personal tasks, but I sometimes have to resort to either a Windows VM or Windows running natively for the following:

Hardware

  • Gaming with the Oculus Rift S
  • My third-party Xbox One wireless controller adapter for the non-bluetooth models
  • Brook controller adapters

Software

  • Microsoft Office. I absolutely need the documents, spreadsheets, and presentations I work on to be interoperable with Windows users who exclusively use Microsoft Office. I am no position to ask them to change what software they use. OnlyOffice is the closest to achieving interoperability and its UI is very similar, but it still falls short. Multiple animations on 1 slide don’t carry over, none of the macros my coworkers have made seem to work, slide formatting may look different, and transformed cells don’t seem to automatically update.
  • Some games, such as Fortnite and CastleMinerZ either have bug-breaking issues or the publisher/anti-cheat sucks and blocks Linux. I don’t particularly care for these games, but I’m also not willing to give up game nights with lifelong friends over these. I’ll play them, suck at them, and have a good time. Then there are games such as Halo: MCC that mostly work, but then co-op campaign de-syncs.
  • Original Xbox and Xbox 360 development and modification tools/programs don’t work. I can’t even FTP a file over from Fedora without it being unrecognized. I obviously don’t expect any of this to change.

And I desperately miss the native Stream Deck software. StreamController’s page-changing is very slow, in general is finicky, buggy, and less intuitive.

Do my eyes deceive me? A Phoronix article without people yelling at each other in the comments section? I probably just arrived too early.
