love this post 🫡 be pedantic and hold onto the old ways.

I see, thanks

I'm genuinely curious about why someone would use/support Linux and then use/support Steam, and how people manage to conflate the two. I've already posted other paragraphs in other places complaining about Steam over the course of years so I'm alr.

Yeah this is my main point, I feel the same way when people are trying to run other proprietary software. I understand just being very particular about workflow, big part of the reason I use any given Linux distro, but moving to Linux to then go through the hoops of running MS Office, which even in the best case scenario will be another app that is not easy to update, has always seemed silly to me.

Did everyone conveniently forget that Steam DRM is the reason why Steam came to prominence, and why it was ever used by any devs in the first place. Yes it’s easily cracked and barely an anti-piracy measure, even admitted by Valve, but it is still DRM.
