- Comment on Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store 3 days ago:
Steam is amazing because of that 30%. That money goes into features that attract users which in turn brings publishers.
No other store has invested so much money on their platform. If you take that 30% off, you defund development.
That said, Steam has different percentage tiers for different amounts of sales. That could obviously be better or refined to give indies a better chance.
But I’m more than happy when Steam takes big chunk out of Rockstar, EA and Ubisoft for example.

- Comment on Razer built a game-streaming app on top of Moonlight, and it’s not too bad 3 weeks ago:
No way I’m letting a closed source app with internet access remote control of my PC. But I’m glad for everyone looking for something like this and I’m thankful for what they are contributing back.
Although it sounds they are not using Moonlight / Sunshine, I believe they forked Apollo / Artemis.

- Comment on New Junk-Store update (install and play Epic Games + GOG on the Steam Deck) 1 month ago:
It’s as easy as any other alternative. You just download and run it. Afterwards, it’s even easier than alternatives, since you don’t need to get out of game mode to add games.
- Comment on New Junk-Store update (install and play Epic Games + GOG on the Steam Deck) 1 month ago:
There are other free alternatives. But Junk-Store is better integrated into Steam Game Mode and supporting good software should always be in your best interest, even more so with specialized quality software like Junk-Store. If you have $6 at your disposal, it’s well worth it.
- Comment on New Junk-Store update (install and play Epic Games + GOG on the Steam Deck) 1 month ago:
Both are awesome but Heroic is more for desktop use while JunkStore is a Decky Loader plugin with a UX/UI more tailored towards game mode, making it ideal to use on the deck.

Hey, @perfectdark@lemmy.world love your posts, always on point!
Nice shoutout to Revolt!
It’s been a long time since I last saw some news about it. Any comments regarding security and privacy versus Matrix ? Also, last I saw it was a bit of a hassle to self-host, am I right to assume things improved in that area ?

This is not only dumb, but also manages to ignore Gabe’s past declarations on the matter. It even ignores the fact they even released CounterStrike (of all things) on consoles.

What’s the target audience of this guide ?
Seeing mentions of Ubuntu, so… casual Linux users ? Discover is one click away, why a guide then?
New to Linux users? then why mention differences to other distros ?
Power users ? They already know.
I think this article is just SEO bait.
