IIRC am pretty sure they have been doing this for years(since Windows 8).

WxWidgets???

Does krita fit your purposes?

ohh yeah,i didnt mention/dont use it cause its more meant for “art” then “image manipulation”

i made the switch to linux about 2 years ago(2024,stopped dual booting on dec 2024), so far it has been ok (except for one hiccup where My TF2’S fps would tank but there is a workaround, i use Nvidia),apps are okay but i hate how basically the only option you have is GIMP, which i dont like how it doesnt have Content-Aware Scaling i think its called?,shapes would be nice too but its optional, i just use photopeas for the time being)
and video games:
i mainly avoid kernel level anticheat things so its really good here.
Proton/DXVK is very good and nice,but it would be nice if game devs made native Linux versions.
and GNOME 49 looks really nice i love the UI/UX,CachyOS is also a nice Distro(i did try Arch but mehh probably not for me i did install the de and utils but disk stuff was annoying),BTRFS is really handy and nice(i love snapshots).
devices i run desktop Linux on:
I3 12100F + GTX 1650 + 16GB RAM (gaming pc)
Raspberry pi 5 8GB ram (backup/home server pc, running debian/armbian with ext4 on this though)

That’s soo expensive.

Then I ain’t buying a VR

i just hate how the cheapest VR’s are only from meta (as of writing this)

true

oh yeah your right actually.
am also mostly fine with that DRM,but it kinda sucks i cannot run video games that rely on it if i was in a environment where i didnt want the client.
or if i want to use Steam offline i can uhh stay signed in.

this guy is out of his mind

first time seeing a indie dev go ahead and Remove the whole game because the whole game uses AI.
Until now i only have seen indie devs just use AI to show that its just a tool rather then replacing artists/people, to fit the narrative(the narrative itself is not AI generated) and keep it on the game’s backgrounds(and the devs opted to use adobe firefly cause it claims to be “ethical” there were even mods created to remove the AI apparently).

NVIDIA CEO says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has done a lot of damage

maybe like copying game files and putting them on sites for anyone(like lots and lots of people) to download?
I donno

maybe they didnt add it cause
“The DRM is noteable for only protecting against extremely casual piracy (i.e. copying game files between friends), and is primarily used by game developers to ensure proper Steam/Steamworks API functionality within their games for legitimate users.”
Source

But don’t they do it for external drm?

So Fortnite is becoming Roblox…

oh yeah i forgot about that,ig GOG gives the guarantee that the games are DRM-FREE.
and i assume the dev/publisher chooses what type of DRM to do like Denuvo,Steams own DRM (needing the Steam client),etc

yeah makes sense its external DRM from Denuvo,Ubisoft and EA these are strict ngl.
and this is why i stick to only Steam’s DRM.

oh thats pretty cool actually,but if the multiplayer SDK is just DRM with a diff name i would rather stick to Steam.

And Steam’s DRM was pretty invisible to me until, ironically, I got a Steam Deck. Then I started running into games that needed to be authenticated while I was on a train with no internet.

and what games are those,i never had that experience with my steam library(except for only requiring the Steam Client to run). maybe this comes from other drms the game has?

Pretty cool!
Ngl if Steam ever had a product decay I maybe start buying games on GOG instead.
And the DRM free thing on GOG sounds neat(even if I don’t think Steams DRM is that bad its slightly bad ofc)
And GOG should add like:
More video games,Steam workshop equivalent,their own proton/contributions to Proton,GOG Galaxy port to Linux/better Linux support,multiplayer sdk?(like Steam?),etc If they want it to become a good steam competitior.
