One of the last conversations I had on Reddit was with a guy complaining about how crap Linux is, that he installed Ubuntu and the desktop didn’t even work, it went straight to a terminal, and after some prodding he said that he couldn’t even get APT to work, and it hit me: “You didn’t install Ubuntu Core, their embedded OS version, did you?” No response.
Lmao.
To be fair on the guy, Canonical’s website is corporate sewage. finding the right ISO is a chore.
I politely disagree. Finding the Core ISO is harder than the Server/Desktop ones. https://ubuntu.com/download/core
There’s a Build Your Core button. And that takes you to a docs page that lets you download a pre-built image. I think it’s pretty obvious that this is not the Desktop Ubuntu.
I think the “Ubuntu Core 22” means it is the snap based version of Steam rather than the deb version.
If you look at the snapcraft.yaml for the Steam snap, it uses
core22as its base.This makes a lot of sense
Glad to see it’s popularity is waning. Snap is the inferior universal package by many metrics and the steam snap in particular is very not ready for prime time.
I don’t use Arch Linux, I use “Arch Linux”. Completely different, btw.
it’s just how you signal you’re using the correct amount of nasal upturn when mentioning “Arch Linux.”
Why am I imagining an internet connected fridge that has a common exploit and people getting into them just to play doom on them or some shit?
it might be a emulator. such as exagear. which only need a minimal linux environment to proot into. and all gui are done by wine
I have fedora server edition set up headless primarily to host docker containers and have a noVNC headless steam streaming container on it, does that count?
Funny words magic man.
How well is that working for you? This setup in particular, but also streaming steam games in general?
It works but the native steam streaming is better, I would recommend a full os with steam running on it and just put the containers on that, you will save a lot of headaches the only real benefit of what I have is you don’t have to run the desktop itself unless you’re using it, since I don’t actually use it much It is fine for my very specific use case.
Nobody can stop me from gaming on my smart toilet (it’s smarter than me)
Whatcha playing? Flappy Turd?

I just noticed how that Arch is in quotes and “64 bit” was added. Does anyone use 32 Bit Arch for gaming? Is it even possible to run Steam on that?
And why not go with:
Arch Linux (rolling-release) 64 bit
Is there 32bit arch release at all? I know there’s arch based 32bit distros, but as far as i know, arch itself is x86-64 and arm only
Arch linux dropped 32bit support a few years ago. But you could probably still make a 32bit build yourself.
Why is arch at the top tho? Apparently Steam OS is its own point, are those the Steam OS clones also based on Arch? Or maybe, people just accepted the superiority of Arch (/s)
The other distros are split by version, while Arch, being a rolling release is but a single entry. I bet if you add up all of the Ubuntus and Linux Mints, they’d be much higher than Arch.
