"Valve did no work"

"they took all the glory for years worth of other devs hard work" This is Microsoft's new attack to undermine the recent accomplishments. Don't be fooled.

Who cares as long as they are improving compatibility.

I miss Ballmer, Windows 7 was the only good windows.

Bill gates stole ms dos

not even from there. if linux distros can earn more users from games, then maybe other wine compatibility will improve and i can use my specialised drawing programs.

I don't. I miss Billy G.

They are at least attempting to organize the disparate parts.

how can software attach itself to intellectual property?

it's all about you

i miss michael jackson

"""Intellectual Property"""

I'm sure that wine devs are more than happy to see their hard work come to fruition. I would.

> good windows

Your brain damage must be extensive.

That's actually true. It's just Wine.

so much for 'benevolent megacorporations'
they all are evil

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is
in fact, Proton/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Proton plus
Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free
component of a fully functioning Steam system made useful by the Proton
wrappers, game libraries and vital team chat comprising a full OS as defined by
PC Gamers.

Many computer users run a modified version of the Proton system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Proton
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the Steam system, developed by Valve.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part
of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that
allocates the machine's resources to the games that you run. The kernel is an
essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only
function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used
in combination with the Steam operating system: the whole system is basically
Proton with Linux added, or Proton/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of Proton/Linux.

He brought us ME and Vista

That's how open-source works, fuckface.
The developers of the various projects would actually be happy that Valve is using them like that.

I've had a serious project of mine used in a commercial product (which is still open source) and I thought it was fucking awesome.

l-lewd

where did they say that?

Cuck

how many people do you think will desert windows once Proton leaves development? I have no experience with linux but I'm willing to learn ubuntu if it means I'll be escaping the microsoft shitpile

Who are you quoting?

Well you know you can go to github and compile Proton for free under an extremely permissive license right now, right?

You know that VXDK was developed at such an insane rate for a FOSS project because Valve has been secretly propelling it for nearly two years, right?

You know that many PRs from Proton development has been merged upstream when the scope matches between the two, right?

>"they took all the glory for years worth of other devs hard work"
But this is dumb. They are actively giving back to the wine developers. If they took wine and somehow made it into a proprietary product then I could see that argument, but they are open sourcing their stuff and improving on it.

not many. Linux isn't hard to use by any means, but isn't as straightforward as Windows. Ubuntu is the easiest distro for beginners to get into.

Exactly this. The whole point of GPLed software is that other people can take the software and improve it; they then have to share their improvements with you. Or in capitalist terms, you are selling access to your current code, not in cash, but in exchange for any future improvements done by others.

Lol

Literally 0.

Posts on /g and can't use linux, whew lad.

Microsoft is actually one of the biggest donors to the Linux community

I'll give Gentoo a new home on my blazing fast SSD where Windows Server 2016 AKA my designated game console OS currently resides.

To the free software foundation is not the same as the Linux community
