To be clear, when Nintendo "contacted" GDK, they sent lawyers to his house. The contents of the "agreement" aren't well known (i don't believe he's talked with anyone after that so far), but most people who were close to him seem to think it was more a threat than a request or deal of any sort.

[@MajorTomFisher]

Nintendo doesn't really care if they upset people in the gaming community by going after emulators. Ever since the Wii, their business strategy has been to target "casual users" who don't listen to gaming or tech news and who generally just buy consoles to play a few games. They don't really need to "appease" their core fans by being kind to emulators or modding because those core fans often buy their products anyway no matter what Nintendo does to make them angry. As long as people are still willing to buy the next Mario game without taking their opinions of Nintendo as a company into account, Nintendo is safe.

Maybe you mean like a major company that is somehow not afraid to innovate and whose console is not just a limited PC with a joystick? Nintendo is the last surviving pure console maker in this industry and to this day their name still means quality games, and you might not care about that but I do. Nintendo's posture towards fanart, emulation and content creators sucks, yeah, I agree, but they are still a positive force in this industry and I very much want to support a company like that.

Better to work on Wine than on a Nintendo emulator. With Wine you get appreciation, from Nintendo you get a lawsuit.

Bruh, Valve is literally breaking down the walls that separate OSes, and I love it! I used to dislike steam back in the day, but in recent years they've become really solid in my books, and I appreciate the steps they're taking. Being a Linux user this is really a great help getting windows based games to work on Linux, and with Wine it's really not that difficult switching to Linux. Unfortunately it's still a workaround, but not as horrible as it used to be 10 years ago

[@thejackimonster9689]

If you combine Valve partnering with Arch and adding support for FEX Emu into Proton, I think it's reasonable to assume we might see official arm64 support for Archlinux in the future. Would be pretty neat because this could also run on VR standalone headsets, newer ARM laptops and even mobile devices or tablets. Additional Waydroid integration into Proton would also open up Steam for any game that currently targets Android.

I actually started with FreeBSD on my laptop. It was my ticket out of Windows on the client side. I was already using it on servers of course. I stopped using it because I started using Linux on servers and although slower and more resource hungry it was so much easier to manage and maintain. That led to me to trying it on my personal computer and here we are today. No FreeBSD in sight. Sigh. I don’t know how they are doing now honestly, I believe 10 is the last time I used it. I’m happy to see they are getting some attention, the OS was awesome when I was using it. It was mighty fun to compile your own custom kernels and stuff like that. I don’t have the time nowadays to do that but it still sounds awesome. 😂 I don’t even know if what I wrote makes any sense. LOL. Just rambling. Cheers.

Fully agree with gaming being a main driver. It's the most fun one can have with a PC (with one's pants on, usually)! Also, gaming is a mainstream hobby now, so even if it's "just gamers", that should be a healthy number of new users.

Well, Arch is just x86_64. No official arm support or something like x86_64v2 or v3 or v4. This leaves a lot of improvements of newer processors not being used by the compilers and it also means that arm documentation needs to happen outside of the official wiki, and documentation and software support is pretty rough at some edges.
