npub1pu7tyn4lajv927jh9fr6z0w2nvqjscrjf55es0gu5xsgp2nes99qn6pdj6 (npub1pu7…pdj6) it’s a vicious cycle, linux being relatively hard to use and having some software unavailable deters everyone but nerds and activists, who present a shitty market, which means creating software for it is unattractive which means a for-profit distribution that’s supported and easy to use is also unattractive since people would still have to wrestle with software, which means linux deters everyone but nerds and activists…
I’m very thankful for the Wine team and Valve for bringing Wine and Proton to the point of straight-up running most Windows software, which after all those years presents us with an opportunity to maybe break out of that cycle. And Valve specifically for widely popularising Linux for gaming via Steam Machines and Steam Deck.
