Generally speaking, it has been a great experience for most apps I use. The only exception is Steam, it runs well, but sometimes I run into a few issues.

  • This might be due to me using an NVIDIA GPU, but after I do a graphics update, my game (Team Fortress 2) doesn't launch until I reset Steam.
  • I like joining a third party MvM servers through the website (potato.tf), sometimes joining the game causes a second instance of Steam to launch for some reason...

Then there’s the steamdeck, which proves people really don’t pick operating systems, they just use what’s there… which is really the point… you don’t ‘adopt’ an OS, you just use shit. If it happens to run linux, then cool.

I don't completely agree... with the release of more affordable Windows handhelds, I have read people sticking with Steam Deck because of SteamOS.

Darling is an open source compatibility layer that allows you to run macOS software on Linux. One of the Darling developers, @facekapow@fosstodon.org, has recently written up a new progress report:

It's been a while since our last post (4 years!) but we're finally back with another progress report. The past few years have been an exciting time for Darling with lots of changes happening in the lower levels, numerous bugs getting fixed, and many stubs being added. All these changes have been made with one goal in mind: a better experience for users. We have plans for further improvements, which we hope will make easier to use Darling and improve compatibility.

I would say Princess Peach or Birdo.

The "Community v.s. Vendor Enablement" was a pretty interesting discussion.

I feel like one thing people (who are pessimistic with Ashai Linux) overlook is that the Ashai team cares a lot about attention to detail. I argue that most vendors don't have that level of care for Linux.

It's why I feel like (in the long run) Apple Silicon will offer a superior Linux experience compared to most x86_64 machines.
