Yes, but you can use any input device with steam, unlike the consoles where you need a controller thats partnered with the brand.

Mandatory disclaimer about Gamepass:

Gamepass as a model is not sustainable. It is a loss leader, and there is no way it will go like this without enshittifying.

Not only does it lock you into windows via proprietary APIs, making sure wine can never make it work, it also locks you into its subscription, by, well being a subscription.

If you do not have the money to support the creators directly, just choose the lesser evil, pay less than a third (5$) for mullvad, support one of the best VPNs, and just pirate them.

That way it works on Linux, dosent lock you into anything, and instead of supporting a Megacorp, you are supporting a good company. Still not better than supporting the devs, but better than Microsoft.

For the other 12$ you are saving up, just buy the game you liked most every 3-6 months.

That's how I do it with RE, Rimworld, and everythibg else I play.

But about your question: if you wanna suck Microsoft dick, you can't just have the best of both worlds.

Either you stream, or you install Win on your Steamdeck, which will tank the Performance and battery life.

So Israel is doing the „But they are doing it too!” thing

Are we in kindergarten or what?

I‘m doing my part

As someone coming from Hungary, you would probably loose nothing if you just nuked it out of existence

I would also like to recommend Zorin for new Linux users

Yeah, great idea, just recommend them the 2. worst OS ever

Zorins advertising, that it can run just like Windows, just sets the User up for failure. Also its Apps are a mix of bleeding edge and Debian 11. it dosent even give you security fixes right away because you have to buy their pro version

The US cloud act and the US Patriot Act

Especially with just about every comsumer electronic regularly sending all your data to their servers, these laws are nothing but a backdoor with extra steps.

The only whataboutism is coming from your comment.

1. I was not saying that we should just let China do its thing. I was saying that instead of just focusing on China, we should be banning the companies which have are by law obligated to provide backdoors too.

2. the US is a fashist state, and if you somehow really think its not threat enough that trump is arresting children and sentencing them without lawyers, as well as sending immigrants to KZs, you should really see a doctor.


No comment.

Its the most popular instance, and at the same time they allow less than acceptable people

So, while not only having fascists, if they weren't the biggest instance (which is just another sign of them just being completely against the philosophy of Lemmy and Decentralisation in general, since every normal instance would have just closed their sign-ups by now) they would be long gone

Calling the SPD anything but a luke warm pudding is a lie.

They are literally neither right noir left. They just bend to whatever coqlition they get into.
