  • Yeah, it’s amazing how upvoted the previous comment is. Just a bunch of idiots jumping on the web-hate bandwagon when even basic media players like Kodi have a tough time playing back video on the Pi.

    It just isn’t a very optimized device for video playback. The Pi 5 is actually a step backwards as well, providing only H265 hardware video decode which the web doesn’t even use.

















  • I don’t think its as mutually exclusive as you make it sound. Personally, I think showing that there’s a bunch of Linux users interested in buying and running games in general is helping out the Linux gaming scene, regardless of whether its a native port or not. We need to shortcut the chicken-and-egg problem of not having enough marketshare and I think Proton and Steam Deck have been instrumental in doing that and getting developers to even be aware of Linux. It’s a slow and steady march onwards, but I firmly believe one day we’ll have enough marketshare to start demanding native ports from non-indie game devs.
