They probably just never got around to updating that description. I only inquired because I’d heard of that website before.
Brand new is definitely a stretch, their legal page seems to date back to 2019.
Installing things on linux is generally the same as phones. There’s a shop-like GUI where you can look up your applications and get them, they’ll also update automatically.
If the software isn’t in your distribution repository, that’s when it starts to be like windows, you need to hunt it down and either get an appimage or something like that, or build and compile it yourself.
AFAIK no, and we probably never will
They just might, open source financing is good PR. 100 is a fair bit more than i thought, thanks for the source.
I think you’re discounting just how much they’ve invested and continue to invest in Proton/WINE
I’m not really sure I am… Do we have some actual numbers into how much money they’ve sunk in linux?
Gaming on linux is a huge community effort, whether it’s wine, dxvk, vkd3d, mesa, linux itself… and plenty of smaller projects like lutris, bottles, UMU… And all this spans literal decades, far before valve ever got involved.
It annoys me too that Valve is getting most of the credit for Proton while most of the work is actually done in winehq, dxvk… I’m sure Valve pays for some development here and there, and greases some developer wheels, but the main thing they do is being a front end for consumers.

My point being that while valve itself has only 350 employees, it subcontracts far more than that.
These stats don’t include subcontractors and as such they’re very misleading. For example, who do you think produces the GPUs inside the steam deck? Hint: it’s not Valve.
The whole thing never made much sense anyways, machines would be without scrupules and cut off any redundancies like extra limbs, they’d probably just keep your brain in a jar.

If you’re addicted to a game, your phone battery is the least of your problems.
Well yeah, but the problem is typically the people who you don’t want you calling you in the middle of night are also the ones willing to call you a few times till you pick up.
Most phones these days allow you to set a DND schedule which you can customize to allow specific numbers for emergencies and people that don’t abuse it.
It’s not that you can’t do it, but rather that it’s very much a windows concept, applications on linux don’t need to hog your attention and dig through your data by starting with the OS. On linux you start an application when you need it. Setting up startup applications is usually a bit hard to find simply because it’s not a feature that people care much for so you typically have to dig a bit to do it.
There’s the new UMU launcher that allows running proton outside of steam. Winehq also works fine by itself, at the end of the day proton is just a fork of wine with a few patches and relies on plenty of shared components like dxvk and vkd3d.
Blizzard games have always had good linux compatibility. Might change now that they’ve bought by microsoft though.
As for ubisoft games they probably run too, launchers are a pita but they do run, you’ll need something like lutris, bottles or heroic launcher to get you started running shit outside of steam, they’re not necessary but they make things simpler.
