“I use ‘Arch Linux’” she said sarcastically. Why are Arch and Manjaro in quotes, but Ubuntu LTS and Linux Mint aren’t?

sugar_in_your_tea ,

And why is Arch more popular than Ubuntu? Surely SteamOS counts as something different, so it’s probably not that.

I’m not a fan of Ubuntu, but it’s a very popular beginner OS, and I’d assume a lot of Linux gamers are lazy and use the thing that gets them into a game the fastest.

narc0tic_bird ,

Arch is listed as a whole, while Ubuntu is a specific version (22.04 LTS).

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Ah, good point. Still a lot more Arch users than I expected.

MaximumOverflow ,

I’ve had so many issues with Ubuntu in the last few years compared to other distros that honestly I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending it as a beginner distro anymore.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

I think it’s interesting Flatpak shows as a separate distro.

Truck_kun ,

Version numbers I’m guessing.

Do they not have actual version numbers maybe?

Which means, Ubuntu may have several separate entries, whereas Arch gets all combined altogether. If that’s the case, then likely not a very accurate Linux distro list without additional data cleaning to combine versions of distros.

Why are Arch and Manjaro in quotes, but Ubuntu LTS and Linux Mint aren’t?

They’re probably putting the rolling releases in quotation marks – I’m guessing they’re pulling the Description field from “lsb_release -a”, where “Arch Linux” says just that, while each Ubuntu/Debian/Mint/etc distro will show specific version numbers (and that would explain why Arch shows up as a higher share than Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS) – I’m sure there are several more Ubuntu entries in their list that would total more than Arch’s percentage. I’m not sure why they arbitrarily truncated the Linux list at 4 while showing 5 Windows/Mac releases, though.

EDIT: Found another screenshot where they list “SteamOS Holo” in quotes, too. So I guess they just include quotes for every distro that doesn’t show a version number in that field.

ViscloReader , to linux_gaming in Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney was asked by Verge why there is no support for the Steam Deck for Fortnite

TwanHE ,

He means they have a problem with Linux users. What other reason would there be to buy up games and remove native Linux support the second its removed from the steam store? (Rocket League for example)

Chewy7324 ,

The Epic Games Store doesn’t have a Linux client, so it’s understandable from a business perspective to not develop a product no new customers will be able to buy.

It’s a middle finger to existing customers though, especially with the outdated Linux version being downloaded by default. They should prioritize proton to enable online play on multiplayer game, but as established, they don’t care about Steam Linux users

Rustmilian , (edited )
@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

We already have Heroic/Legendary Games Launcher, and Lutris too.

Chewy7324 ,

Yes, those launchers are great. But I don’t think Epic will ever acknowledge third-party clients exist, so their existence makes no difference from their perspective.

Ofc not. They have shriveled dick syndrome and hate consumer freedom.

Eh… “gaslighting 101” – swears randomly (against the victim/target), throws in a (non-random) praise to “raise the fire even more”, refuses to elaborate.

ElderWendigo ,

Linux users have too much self respect and expect too much privacy and control over their own devices. That’s a problem.

atmur ,

I think he means the whole “Not enough users to justify porting applications, users don’t use it because applications don’t support it” thing.

The problem is that logic has been dead for years. Users are here. The Steam Deck is wildly popular. Tim Sweeney is just a dumbass.

To be fair you are probably better off using a bidet as diarrhea often means repeat events and that’s a lot of wiping and you can create sores. Also, with infectious diarrhea the very act of wiping is a high risk event for spreading those germs. The f22 is an incredible flying machine and the M28 is likely not the most luxurious way to travel but it is much better than flying on Spirit airlines.

Cysioland ,
@Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Yeah, with diarrhea I just wash my hole as if I wiped every time it would hurt so much

drathvedro ,

What’ve learned the hard way the last time I had prolonged diarrhea is that it’s better to wash as soon as possible because having your buttcheeks soaked in stomach acid can irritate the skin even more than the toilet paper. It’s no wonder F22 took issue with this as she has vectored thrust and hypersonic missles while M28 doesn’t. He’s just out of her league, she’s gotta dump him and date SU27 instead.

toastal ,

Bidets are the way even when not experiencing diarrhea & it’s weird so many places it’s no the norm. It’s real weird to find a places without the hose sitting right next to the throne when you are finished.

That’s by far the most disturbing thing about this post. The movie is 2.35:1. This looks even closer to square than 4:3. If you watched the movie with this framing you’d be missing more than half the movie.
