Quoting: dmantioneMy impression is that you won't get any further with modern ways of communication. If you want to find out more, you need to pick up the old fashioned phone and make him talk ;)

Still not old fashioned enough. I don't think anything short of up close and personal with some feathers and a bucket of tar would get a lot of results. ;)

Quoting: meracoIt's about female menstruation, Liam?

Well, obv. If it was about male menstruation that would just be weird.

Quoting: GuestComical if you're highly desensitized I guess? Goat Simulator is more comical but without being mean.

I was thinking it looked kinda like Goat Simulator without a goat.

Any game named after a piece of the poem "Kubla Khan" gets my interest.

"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea."

Quoting: babaiIf you are using Linux for freedom/open source idealism, ideologically you SHOULD buy AMD products and not tell me how a 1060 overpowers an RX480 today. AMD had no obligations towards supporting MESA or opening up millions of lines of DPM code for their chips. They still did.
Support a company that supports your platform.
If you don't follow the open source philosophy and using Linux just because you like say the millions of widget themes it supports or for any other reason, buy Nvidia.

Oh please. "SHOULD buy" - are you kidding me?

Linux is all about freedom, and now you are telling me what I should buy? So much for freedom. Thanks.

Freedom is not incompatible with responsibility. Linux, lest we forget, is GPLed, not BSD licensed.

A custom BO manager? You mean, like, heavy-duty underarm deodorant?

Thought I remembered something odd about giraffes and pee. You might have been witnessing this:

Quoting: c600411Steam OS is not finished, Steam OS is not Linux, Valve is not doing anything for Linux lately because they are developing VR and Linux is shit for VR.

GoL should stop hyping "ports" and criticize more, ass licking and circlejerking will not get us anywhere.

Android is arguably not Linux--it's certainly not Gnu/Linux. Chrome OS is a bit off the track of what many would consider a normal Linux. But Steam OS? Steam OS is a bog-typical Linux distro. The only thing remotely odd about it is that it boots into a particular program by default (Steam big picture mode). Aside from that, it's like any other somewhat-specialized Ubuntu derivative.

. . . Why exactly would Linux be shit for VR? The claim doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

As to that last line . . . grow up.

Hmmm . . . Looking at the previous couple years on that site, on one hand the numbers wobble around a lot--rather more IMO than could possibly represent real shifts in Linux use. So this could just be a big blip.
On the other hand, the wobbling up to now was always within a certain range. Never before Feb 2016 do I see it going over 1.74%. I see a low of 1.25% with a typical range between 1.4something and 1.6something.
So a sudden ramp-up (accelerating, from the look of it) all the way up to 2.33% looks like something different. Maybe Windows 10 effect. Maybe Chrome OS. Maybe the Chinese government just got serious about security and did a big roll-out; they've been talking about going Linux for a while. Maybe all of the above.
