I don't think it has anything to do with Arch being a rolling distro.

SteamOS isn't a rolling distro, it's by releases controlled by Valve.

Even on a Debian base they could have done the same, like Ubuntu releasing versions independently from Debian.

Because SteamOS is immutable, the simplest today would be to use a Fedora Atomic base.

You can connect your Steam Deck to your PC with USB, but all it's going to do is charge it.

Survival of the fittest. As is, the type of game that makes the more money.

The problem is that the Steam Deck plays PC games, that were designed for a big screen. You can't make the screen much smaller than the current Deck while keeping it legible.

The Game gear and GBA played games that were nothing like the home console games of their time.

This is what the Switch brought to the table. Breadth of the Wild was a great home console title, and you could play it handheld on the go.

It's slow and you depend on the wind blowing.

If sails were that great we would still be using them for freight, we didn't switch to petroleum for the fun of it. Environmental issues put aside it's a pretty great source of energy.

Well there is a reason we stopped using those.

He's working for Microsoft now but it's very recent, he developed systemd while working at RedHat.

I don't even know of he's still working on it. There are a lot of things to be said about systemd and Lennart but the link to Microsoft is irrelevant.

I don't think Arch is more used than Ubuntu, unless maybe if you count all the Ubuntu flavors separately

To be honest it has always been this way. Especially when we were talking about "Free Software", and open source was in part a way that it was free as in freedom, not free as in doesn't cost anything.

Of course the term open source didn't change anything, because if you look at the definition of open source, you're allowed to share it so obviously you'll be able to get a copy for free.

And uesst what, not having to pay is such a big difference that's what people remember.

I mean if you want to live off your work, then of course you're a business.

Or if you want to get money without all the fundraising hassle, get a salaried job.

Basically you want to work in open source on whatever you want, not have to listen to users, not have to find funds, and still be paid for it?
