The future is even more bleak. Touch screens only, no desktops. Only tablets everywhere. Everything on the cloud, everything locked down. Sideloading is banned, jailbreaking illegal. Everything runs on iOS or Android. Gen A will love it

Most SteamOS users aren’t interacting with a bash shell or anything though, they’re just running steam in big picture.

I use kodi as a DLNA server for my smart tv

I’d call myself a liberal but not left wing
