Comment Re:This won't do anything for Linux on desktops (Score 2) 304

Linux beats Windows.

Order of easiest OS installs I did the last 2 years:
- Debian (about 6 times pressing [enter], and once a down button or something, takes about 20 minutes between second to last [enter] and the [enter] to reboot)
- Ubuntu (needed a few more down buttons and [enter], so, a couple of more minutes before the download+install happens)
- Windows pre-install on a Dell system (takes about 10 minutes, reboot, 15 more minutes, reboot, 10 more minutes, reboot, 20 more minutes, etc.)
- MS-DOS 4 on a modern PC using magnets
- Windows pre-install on a HP business system

Comment Not Valve's operating system (Score 1) 182

Valve's putting the very source code of its operating system in the hands of everyone who wants it just to see what happens.

Valve took our OS, improved it, and is going to give it back. It's the Open Source way.

However, there are still a bunch of propriety extensions in SteamOS. But at least with Valve's effort non-Steam users will also benefit.

Why isn't he entitled to decide when he has lived enough? Why does he need valid medical reasons?

I think you're right, it's a failing of society. Society rather plays for god and decide who lives and who dies.

(I only hope he performed a clean suicide rather than jumping in front of a train, or something)
