![]() ![]() How does it goes? "Epic sees the mote in other's eye, but can't see the beam in it's own." Sure thing, they won't get a dime from me. Unfortunately, many seem to forget that we vote with our wallets, when it comes to Epic. It would be the last storefront I would support, personnally. The problem is Epic with it's garbage propaganda and dubious practices. PC gaming in general has been needing a much better living room experience. Wasn't particularly interested in GamerOS (that name IS stupid), but now I'll keep a close eye. But having a Linux distro for TV that supports both Steam and Epic - now that's something else entirely. Market is fragmented (which is actually a good thing IMO, but I know a lot will disagree), which is why I love GOG Galaxy 2.0 on Windows. I know purists will be thoroughly pissed, but I'm plenty happy to see something like this. Quoting: mao_dze_dunAh, now we're talking. You can see their release announcement here. ![]() A fun example of open source in action though, with Legendary now enabling a Linux distribution like this to hook into the Epic Games Store which has no official Linux support to run the games through Proton. So far, it seems Epic themselves have left Legendary alone which is nice to see. It does this through the use of Legendary, a free and open-source Epic Games Launcher alternative we covered before here. Steam Buddy can handle Flatpaks from Flathub which GamerOS 20 expanded the amount supported, and this Steam Buddy feature is how they're handling the Epic Games Store too. How GamerOS works is actually quite interesting as they built a tool called Steam Buddy, which is a web-based management system for installing non-Steam software. There's a few issues they noted though like SEGA CD needing a BIOS supplied for it and the EGS doesn't yet have working gamepad support. GamerOS 20 was just released, bringing the usual upgrades to things like the Linux Kernel to 5.8.10, Mesa drivers 20.1.8, NVIDIA drivers 450.66 along with updates to their own software and RetroArch 1.9 is included too.Īpart from the usual assortment of newly "certified" Steam games (what they've tested working), it also adds in support for Sega 32X, Sega CD and the Epic Games Store. An up to date Linux distribution ready out of the box for a somewhat console-like experience. GamerOS, despite the naff naming, is actually genuinely good. If you need an easy full-screen gaming experience with Linux, perhaps with your main big TV then GamerOS looks to be the next best thing to SteamOS (since Valve aren't currently working on it). ![]()
