The steamdeck has done a lot of legwork here.

I know there’s a meme here, but as a Canadian, I’m sorry about that traitorous asshat.

Me too. It’s ridiculous they haven’t updated their client.

Finding 32 bit libraries hasn’t been a problem with any package manager I’ve ever used in Linux for a long time. This isn’t a problem for any modern distribution.

This is a ridiculous argument. Steam isn’t supporting the 32-bit libraries. It’s done through repositories that are maintained to ensure legacy compatibility which is one of the strengths of Linux. There’s no impact on the cost of games.

Can’t the dependencies just be installed with the steam client? Yes, it’s ridiculous that steam isn’t 64-bit, but I don’t see the huge problem programs with having 32-bit dependencies. Am I missing something?

I don’t get the hopefully Linux follows statement. I assume it is just for the client? Linux should support everything it can.

Umm, it should work and there should be legislation to prevent planned obsolescence.

ELI5? What’s going on here? Also, the substack author is Mike Judge?

So what newsletters did they sign up for today? Are they active member of NAMBLA yet? Or horse penis weekly? Man this erm71 guy is really into weird stuff.
