Yes and hydrogen is where the Japanese government grants are, despite making little sense because thermodynamics is a thing.
A cropped screen grab of that video would have saved me a lot of time. 😅
And Sailfish’s UI and infrastructure although nice isn’t open source.
Maybe Jolla's phone could be an avenue to get unlocked phones, though.
So just AMD and Intel?
I think the big Linux-supporting ARM vendors as well but I did not check. Apple does not support Linux, so they don't factor in.
What about other storefronts?
Which other storefronts? Flatpaks can target whatever the closest runtime is there. The Steam Linux Runtimes are just as FOSS as Debian.
And the people who tend to care the most about actually making Linux builds are the same ones who aren’t fully comfortable with the idea that “SteamOS == Linux” as it were.
Steam Linux Runtimes are NOT SteamOS. SteamOS is Arch-based, the runtimes are based on Debian Stable.
Also while Linux is not the same as UNIX, interacting with them is much more similar than, say, interacting with Windows.
If you use only GUI, the underlying system philosophy is practically irrelevant.
If you use CLI, you can literally use the same distribution within WSL as you use on a Linux computer. I like using openSUSE's zypper in WSL more than I like brew on macOS.
Well, the old way of Linux development was actually more work for developers of proprietary applications, especially games, regardless of that specific post having been shortsighted. Whereas enterprisey applications could just target RHEL and call it a day, end user stuff like games did suffer from a broader and ever evolving set of systems.
It's very different now. Linux-native games just need to target whatever the latest Steam Linux Runtime is at that point (it's basically a stripped down Debian Stable container, SLR 3 is based on Debian 11, SLR will probably be based on Debian 13).
With the exception of NVidia, all GPU vendors build their drivers on Mesa, so they are more homogeneous than Windows.
Samuel Villarreal @SVKaiser:
In case anyone cares, this isn't a rebrand of Fresh Supply but rather from scratch using the original source code of the game. For those who already own Fresh Supply and don't really care about its flaws, then it's likely not worth it.

Whatever SVKaiser writes: This is a massive price hike over Blood: Fresh Supply which is €8.19 regularly and currently for sale on GOG for €1.69.
Owners of Fresh Supply get Refreshed Supply for €9,51 – a big discount over the regular price of €27,99 but still more expensive the the regular price of Fresh Supply.
Refreshed Supply "includes new Marrow scenario (available at launch) and Death Wish scenario (planned future update)", so the latter isn't even guaranteed.
It's a cult.
After wasting an obscene amount of money on Activision Blizzard, their approach is now:
Fire most developers and have the remaining ones use AI tools to compensate.
Release all games for PlayStation and Switch (2) as well.
End Xbox hardware development and license the brand to 3rd parties who need to make money on the hardware because it's not subsidized by Microsoft.
Make the competition, Steam Deck and even Switch 2 of all things, look like a steal by comparison.
I'm confident 80% of the people here would make better business decisions.
Habe gehört, das ist die Energiequelle der Zukunft!
Great. Even less incentive to get into the Microsoft ecosystem.
