Pretty exciting times ahead as Valve might finally release SteamOS to more hardware. This amount of Linux desktop coverage would be unimaginable few years ago.

    I feel like stability has a different definition for some of us Linux users.

    Stability to me as a Linux user is a non-issue. I have so many backup and snapshot solutions to a point that any problem isn’t even a threat. I don’t consider what if’s because I can just walk around anything, even if the entire boot drive corrupts.

    Also, what do you mean by stable? The OS? The entire system under heavy graphical load?

    Some more, some less as far as Linux goes, but if we’re comparing Windows to a peer like… KDE?

    Yeah, they’re about just as buggy.

    Does Linux have an issue in that the bugginess is almost directly tied to the experience level of the end user? …Yeah, but at that level, it just means no problem is impassable, you just don’t know what you’re doing. 😬

      “You just have to know what you’re doing” is not going to warm the general public up to Linux dude lol
