You missed the main issue my friend, it’s not about having a launcher or an account, it’s the way their doing it.

Great analysis!

No wonder indie games are getting more popular each year

I’m honestly against all the other launchers too, but at the very least I’m able to make an account without inputting false location info, as well as actually buy their games! But with Playstation it’s a special case; Sony is the only gaming company that refuse to provide PSN in many countries for some fucking reason!

Well I expected that since I’m posting this on r/Steam it would be full of PC gamers, and usually PC gamers are older and therefore more mature than console gamers. I guess I was wrong!

Thank you for all the respectful comments. I complained about this on r/Steam on Reddit, thinking they’d discuss the issue like grown ups. All I got though was shit comments after shit comments, the likes of “cry about it” and “whomp whomp”, someone even dismissed my rant as a “tantrum”!

Thanks!

How can you do that? Is there a way to block a publisher on steam?

This also refused to work unfortunately.

How do I know that exactly?

xdg-desktop-portal-gtk?

Yes, it’s already installed.

Thank you for the clarification. I already know that most drivers are loaded with the kernel, and it looks like Ubuntu 23.04 is using a slightly newer kernel than other mainstream distros.

What you do once you’re on the 24.04 LTS release is up to you. By that time, other distros will probably also work out of the box too.

That’s a very good question. It is because I was using Kubuntu 23.04, and I was mostly happy with it, except for one small gripe I was facing related to KDE, and I figured if I try a different distro with KDE, I might actually solve it.

I understand that. But what’s making me scratch my head is that I tried running Linux Mint 21.2 and Debian 12, both of which to my knowledge were released very recently, and yet both failed to detect my WiFi card. Are they running an older linux kernel?
