of course this month steam catches me for the survey on my $100 microcenter special that i lovingly call "the craptop." but i still hit submit.
After twenty years on Steam, I've been asked three times to participate in the survey on my gaming setup, and on three occasions I played on Windows. No survey in the last five years while using Linux. :)
I've got it twice on my work laptop, where I used it just for the messenger, back when I ran an active community for a game.
Not sure if I want to trust that data.
I got a notification each year and I'm on Linux
Can't decide what market to develop games for if you don't know what people are using. Even craptops
Got it today. It seemed wildly confused about storage (2T drive for Linux, 1T for ~~Dedicated Genshin Console~~ Win10) but there will be at leadt one Void user polluting the data.
You should be able to play genshin on Linux - the workaround launcher still exists and arweanticheat says they unintentionally fixed it - I can't confirm this though
I recently just straight up installed and ran Genshin Impact without any workaround. Just kept it isolated using Bottle. And it ran near flawlessly from what I could tell.
With your help, we will get to 2% and kick off the year of the linux desktop!
Me when I make a Windows or Linux VM, First thing that steam does is ask for survey...
Do you game in VM?
I do. My gaming PC is also my most capable server.
I did for a short amount of time. sadly the gpu didn't quite get used and my cpu usage was insanely high.
Did you set up GPU passthrough?
Yes, issues I had are in previous reply
I'm glad I am not the only one who calls my little ASUS netbook craptop. Kinda flimsy and definitely underpowered, but a perfect little device to run basic applications and terminal applications on a minimal window manager.
And here i am thinking I'm original...
But you're absolutely right. It's perfect for basic browsing, signal or to ssh into my vps. It's not at all suited for gaming, but maybe MS flight simulator will add support for dual core celerons next month because of me!
Three are lots of old games and new indie games that should be fine as long as you’re not trying to run them on a pi zero. Low specs don’t mean you can’t play any games at all.
You live close to a microcenter?? Luckyyyyyy
Ikr? My options are Best Buy (not really an option) and online stores. I used to have a Fry's, then I moved and they went under.
So it was your fault!
Yup, I'm sorry. But hey, I'm available to substidize a microcenter in my area.
I'm literally in the EXACT same boat. I have a Best Buy (which I never go to), and Fry's left my area ages ago.
I actually live close to two microcenters! And I could walk to a best buy, but I never do. I sure miss frys, but I'm glad microcenter is still around.
2 Microcenters????😭😭 You menace!!!!😭😭
I learned a lot from your blog, and you can learn more about older video games to have more engaging experiences. I look forward to playing with you in the past! word wipe aarp
i never do the surveys. why would i want some proprietary software to survey my hardware??
Because if the company (Valve) knows there are many Linux users using their software, it will use it's resources to help Linux. They make Proton, which is FOSS, and contribute a lot to Wine and Linux in general.
2nd. By doing the survey on craptops or VMs, developers just might try lowering their sysreq's down a notch. Additionally, as far as proprietary software goes Valve might be the most benevolent of them all so giving them support through the opt-in survey is a huge help as it evens out the playing field with those who play dirty and just take your info regardless.
Think of it as a Linux vs. Window$ election
And elections have consequences
Weird threshold. You're already using that proprietary software on your computer. What's to stop them from gathering that data regardless?
Gaming on the GNU/Linux operating system.
