No, you use Steam to change games

Over what time frame? I reckon most of the recent growth is SteamOS so it will gradually go up over time as more devices drop. But that's a relatively small percentage in the grand scheme.

Its called command.exe since DOS then command prompt since the longest time for windows. Your UNIX equivalent would be Zsh and not the terminal, they are CLIs. A terminal is a fucking terminal app to call forth Zsh and bash, which is like calling cmd and powershell.
Terminal on UNIX is just a place to call forth shells, its a wrapper. Terminal in windows 11 is just to call cmd and powershell and so on too. You're just adding an extra layer over what everyone has been using for decades on PC. Out of all CLIs out there cmd is probably the simplest and most known. Debugging anything? It'll be cmd. Opening terminal in windows 11 is... cmd or powershell depending on how you set it up. You're just having multiple tabs of the legacy tools.

for real... what kind of weirdo would type in terminal?
absolute retard behaviour.you press win > cmd > enter... anything else is a mental disorder

"Hey guys, I have some issues with my Linux distro."
"It's easy, just go into the terminal and fill in this code:"
Linux prompts be like sudo fuckyoself.

Steam surveys say almost nobody plays on Linux.
Proton needs to continue improving to further support a way bigger percent of Windows games, particularly the ones with the kernel anticheats.
In any case, I think SteamOS is helping a lot and will do even more, once they have everything ready for the Steam Machine, and also once they open SteamOS to use it in any (or most) PCs.

the anticheat situation will probably never get better. EA stopped support because it was apparently to easy to use cheats through proton.
I now set up Moonlight on my Deck to maybe play some of those games on the couch or in bed.
and fuck me... that shit has almost zero latency, even tho I only tested it with my PC on Wifi so far (I have an ethernet cable on hand but it wasn't connected). absolutely insane... and even more insane that Xbox, and especially Playstation remote play are still so laggy when Moonlight can do like 1 frame latency over really spotty wifi

Oh right, good question. I'll say 10% 5 years from now would be a big deal.
I think the numbers show recently that most the growth isn't steamos, though.
So I'm thinking narrowing down the addressable people would be first taking out the ones who aren't even comfortable reinstalling Windows. I don't know maybe that's like half? Then you need to look at people who would be comfortable learning a new OS, maybe that's half again. Then take out the ones who are on anti-cheek games, assuming that never gets fixed. And that's like 12%.
Wow this is some really shitty napkin math.

When I say I recently, I mean over the past few years. I'm just going by things I read in passing.
Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark
It finally happened. Linux gamers on Steam as of the Steam Hardware & Software Survey for October 2025 have crossed over the elusive 3% mark.

How soon would you estimate it hits 4%?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
why would anyone use windows search in the first place? Win + R for life.

They might just be young tbh.
Most here has walked this way through PC usage:
1. DOS
2. Windows, GUI ontop of DOS
3. Windows, do the fun stuff through a DOS prompt
4. Windows, do I even need DOS anymore?
Youngsters don't know DOS commands so they have no reason to go there.
It's the same with Linux tbh. But Linux is still at number 2. Those who grew up using Linux see no problem in the Linux experience.
The rest is like :
- What is this text crap?!
Or at best:
- Oh it's like DOS, cool I know this.
Wait… Nothing works! How do I even list files?!

I say cry because even in his search, Terminal was listed right there under apps. He even had the option to filter his search specifically for apps.

windows search is built into the start menu. so you don't need win + r.... that's 1 completely useless key press basically.
why do win + r then type cmd and enter, instead of only pressing win and type cmd and enter? same result, 1 less key.
same with regedit btw.

Absolutely this.
When it comes to AI use: It is great as a tool - if, and only if, you already know what you are doing.
It can save you massive amounts of time, but it will backfire spectacularly or even waste a lot of your time if you just blindly follow its "advice" because you don't understand anything about the topic.

The main goal of Distrobox is not focused on sandboxing the containers from the host. Due to the tight integration nature of the project, complete isolation is not possible as containers running inside Distrobox will have full access to your home folder and application directories.

YOU RUN EXTERNAL DRIVE ON STEAMDECK AND NEED OVERLAY
The external drive might be mounted with restrictive options. Check mount options:
mount | grep [sda1] << change this to your drive after runing lsblk
IF YOU SEE noexec, nosuid, nodev
If your drive is mounted with >>nosuid<< and >>nodev<< flags, which prevent Podman's overlay storage from working properly. These flags are set automatically by udisks2 for removable drives as a security measure.
Overlay:
Faster, more efficient
Requires suid and dev mount flags
Won't work on your external drive unless remounted with said flags
VFS:
Slower, uses more disk space
Works on drives with nosuid and nodev
Perfect for your situation

And this right here is why Linux will never be a player in the OS space. This person bitching about Windows is literally too stupid to use Linux. And guess what?...that's most people. If you can't figure out how to stop Windows Search from accessing the web, you wouldn't last a week with Linux. For all the shit people give Windows it's significantly easier to use, fix and troubleshoot. Even honest Linux users will tell you this. In fact, 99% of the things people complain about with Windows are fixable and not just fixable, easily and quickly fixable. And Linux bros will tell you that they "shouldn't have to do that" and then turn around and use an OS that they are constantly dealing with hardware/software issues or limitations that take every bit as much time, and more, than what they'd have to do on Windows.
This is what I see when I search "terminal" and it's a 5 second fix that you could pull up in Google and find instantly.
This dude is still using Co-pilot, still using web search and people think the average computer user, much less gamer, is going to be able to handle an OS where hardware/software/configuration issues far exceed anything you will see on Windows? Even getting past gaming performance, which is a non-starter for many of us, you are never going to solve the issue with the population at large. You've got 50 different distros, which means zero consistency, and then you combine that with a million different configurations of hardware, and it's a recipe for disaster for the average Joe. The saving grace of the Steam Deck and Steam Machines are that they are a curated set of specific hardware running on a tailored Linux OS to suit that hardware. That's not a thing in the wider PC market and the average dude, like in that Tweet, clearly aren't equipped to deal with that.

Now, here is a hint for you, in modern windows what you have is a terminal, where you can call different shells, CMD is but one of them.
Anyway, this is not the point, the problem is that when the person typed terminal to find the app Windows took upon itself to recommend a movie, which is retarded as a move for an OS... This is one of the reasons why people install Linux in the 1st place.
alabtrosMyster
Member
Why do you even need to fix it?
And why do I need to fix a million little things that are there to prey on people who don't know any better when I install Windows?
This is all self inflicted upon themselves too, as a way to abuse people, take every single penny they can by taking our time and attention hostage.

The big improvement with ChatGPT isn't that you can now fix Linux problems, Linux fans are such huge nerds that I can guarantee there's a forum solution to every. single. problem. (unlike Microsoft forums' solutions like "hAvE yOU trIEd uPDatInG wINdoWs???") The real improvement is that ChatGPT is a basic layer of security to avoid malware or something that could potentially fuck up your installation even though in all my years as a professional Linux copy paster I never faced such problem
Honestly, it almost too simple now, even the dumbest guy can just copy paste code from ChatGPT safely and solve 95% of the problems, well, except if your problem is drivers. Then good luck friend, you're fucked

It's on a trend now, and if steam machine is launching in ~4 months, linux will be on youtube thumbnails a lot. So people will be trying, and I think there are enough that can pull it off right now to stick with it and get another percent. Maybe a year? idk. Wild guessing.

This thread is full of people who clearly don't know this.
I get that there are people who will never use Linux, but EVERYONE should favor competition for Windows and having options.
I will say it again:
Anyone who has an all AMD system, should give bazzite a try. just try it out. Even if the gaming performance might not be better (it often is) the smoothness and functionality are also important factors.

To be fair... I've seen a lot of Windows complaints from people who 'optimize' the OS with debloaters and custom scripts. Don't get me wrong, I think there are times when it helps. But it clearly introduces some instability or a weird issue that might crop up unexpectedly later on
JohnnyFootball
GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Debloating is all well and good, but it doesn't get rid of underlying issues.
To be fair WIndows 11 IoT LTSC is good for gaming and works well enough, but i still have to turn off performance killing features like Core Isolation and adjust all telemtry functions. I still have to deal with all the crashes.
On a desktop, I can deal with all that, but on my hometheater PC, windows is a hassle. SteamOS allows you to do everything from a controller, with an option for a desktop environment to do things like mods.

Fuck it. I just went full Bazzite on my main rig. I booted up the live, had no issues, installed as dual boot. Was playing games within 15 minutes on my 4080S. Converting all my drives to EXT4 right now.
Oh shit, I can't play F1 25 and BF6 that I just bought. I can keep the dual boot and do that, or I can just make a VM and passthrough some gfx and ta-da.
People are weird about thier computers. There's really nothing much that would really hold you back except personal preference. Ya it's different to get around but you can still find your way. I'm what would be considered a hardcore PC user and my main rig is a glorified Internet Kiosk that plays games. What am I really doing that requires Windows??
Oh and my DNS requests at home have gone down 50% in the last 3 days I've done this, I wonder why?

You didn't understand why I put the zombie image there, it's pretty simple really.
MS will re-activate these features and options that I take time to run a cleanup script to take out, it becomes like an infinite game of wac-a-mole.
They do the same with their utter lack of respect for your power settings, you can't even use the sleep mode on Windows, it just wakes the computer up every few seconds to do whatever spying MS feels like doing, they can't even wait until you use the computer.
