I wouldn’t be surprised if Mac usage is slumping hugely.
I’m a Mac user and previously used Steam quite a bit. But can’t since upgrading to an M1 as Valve hasn’t compiled any of its games to be 64-bit compatible
FYI you can run the Windows version of Steam through Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit (or crossover-wine). I do that on my M2, works pretty well. It’s just like the old Linux days haha
Thanks for the head up. I use Parallels at the moment, which works well enough. Haven’t looked into the toolkit, but will do.
Who are all these sick people using Manjaro
I use Manjaro, what’s the problem?
If you’re happy with it there isn’t one.
Lots of people see it as a handful of config options of Arch with its own less stable package repository
Just switched to Pop OS from Windows. I’ve been doing this since Red Hat 5.1 and I finally think all the things that kept pulling me back to windows have been solved and for edge cases Windows in Virtual box seems to just run faster anyway
Too bad that there isn’t any reasonable way to get virtual box to run modern games. I’ve thought about a pcie pass through but then I question why even have Linux in the first place if I am just going to install windows over it?
I might multiboot windows if anything doesn’t like virtual box but every game I play works fine on linux so far
“According to these new numbers from Valve”
That means the numbers are fake, just like Elon followers. People please do your research and not trust sources that control the numbers.
That means the numbers are fake,
What? Them (phoronix) disclosing the source or valve releasing any numbers at all?
People please do your research and not trust sources that control the numbers.
How would that even work? Where would I get the numbers?
Valve blocked API access to their database. We can not confirm anything anymore: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/04/steam-spy-announces-its-shutting-down-blames-valves-new-privacy-settings/
The numbers are by Valve, there is no other way, Valve wants to control the numbers. We can not know if they are real or made up.
Deliver fake data would be an insanely dangerous game from Valve: that data is what all their partner to make strategic choices… if there’s any proof of that, all their partner would drop the ball and Valve would lose it’s multi billion business in just few weeks.
- fake that data is plain stupid too: Valve has all the interest to know and share where is the bigger pie piece… so Capcom, Sega, Blizzard etc. can tune their product. For example, let’s say Valve goes crazy and say that the GPU Nvidia RTX 5090Ti got 50% of market share… and all their partner follow this fake data and deliver all their products with no optimizations: results for their customers? (and, before any one mention it: yes, this apply the opposite: if Valve say 50% of GPU market share are shitty old Intel iGPU… all future games on PC will overly tuned towards the lowest end and big publisher won’t even bother trying with next gen videogames).
Thats a very specific event that doesnt apply to cheap companies who overwork their employees and are using Unreal Engine most of the time.
