Every single time anybody talks about Windows 11 someone, usually a lot of someone’s, always comes along and goes, just use Linux. We know Linux exists, it’s not a secret, you don’t have to mention it ad nauseam in every single post.
While I agree, that’s a lot to ask of a PC gamer, let alone a console gamer. Maybe if SteamOS starts supporting hardware better, that could be a good distro we could point console gamers towards.
Is there any word on how easy it is to get SteamOS working on non-steam devices. I would just buy the steam machine but apparently valve don’t want my money, they sent me an email to say that they have randomly put me so far down the list that they don’t actually have enough units, with no ETA on when they’re going to get more. So that’s out.
If they ever fix the kernel level anti-cheat issue this would be a good suggestion. Until then, Linux can’t play most of the most popular and most played games on consoles.
It doesn’t make any difference whose fault it is. If anti cheat doesn’t work on Linux which means that it’s a non-viable option for a lot of people. They’re not going to suddenly go “oh well in that case I don’t mind” just because you point out that it’s the game developers responsibility.
Windows 11 sucks. Find a linux distro that you like and is easy to use.

The latest build of SteamOS actually is working on this exact problem, btw. So yeah, we will.
I knew they were working on it, but cool that it might be soon!
Mint is mint

What “they” do you mean? Kernel level anti cheat is stupid
Anyone making any Linux distro.
Afaik that’s a decision from the game developers, not from Linux developers, to enable kernel-level anti-cheat.
