Imagine supporting Denuvo lmao. What a guy

They're meaning a model with SteamOS preinstalled. They don't want to pay an extra $200 on it if a SteamOS model will be released for $200 less than the Windows model. They're putting Bazzite on it regardless of whether they get a Windows model or if they buy a SteamOS model if/when that comes out.

I agree, but what I mean is that Lemmy has a much smaller userbase. Most people don't even know about it.

EDIT: Also, the smaller userbase may itself be a reason for the more welcoming community.

Very true. Not a lot of outreach you can do on Lemmy, though. Still a pretty niche platform.

I agree, but I'm cynical and don't see that ever happening.

To be fair, most people who want to install Linux will google "how to install Linux" and most likely will be pointed at the main Ubuntu distro.

EDIT: I wish this was appreciated more than it is

Because it's a random set and spread across the whole hundred million users of Steam. The chances of any person being selected more than annually are low.
