    I am increasingly disheartened by the obsession over “Desktop SteamOS”. People don’t want Linux or even “a desktop computer”

    My guess is that people how the installation will be made easy enough for noobs that they aren’t even aware they’re installing an OS, or it will be the default on devices. The latter is much much stronger than forcing some poor sod to deal with installing an OS and Valve also makes money in the process, which they can hopefully dump into Linux.

    My hope is that the linux community wises up and learns about the power of defaults + not estranging noobs. The elitist “oh eternal september” and “but muh terminal” users can get fucked. Linux needs more people, not less.
