She bought a Steam Deck to play PC games because she joined BAFTA.

    Wow, so she is a pure Unix gamer, since she plays on a PS5 and has a Macbook and has a Deck. Don’t know what phone she has. Is iOS based on BSD as well? Ah, damn, forgot that she has a Switch.

    But seriously, since SteamOS is basically a pure Linux distribution and all the things that work or don’t work on it also work or don’t work on most other Linux distributions the same way, I’d say it is just Linux gaming.

    Or is it only Linux gaming when it comes from the Linux region of PC snobbery?

      sorry sarcasm won’t help you on that one: why OS naming only matter when you decide it matter? Especially when you really don’t know what OS is installed on her device (As I said, you don’t know the computer knowledge she, her family or her friends has)? What is the link between being a young female actress and the computer knowledge she has?

        How does OS naming matter at all? Why is SteamOS not a Linux but OpenSUSE, Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, etc. are? SteamOS is literally based on Arch. Can’t get much more Linux than that.

        The way she and her gf handle themselves on stream and with technical stuff neither them nor their family and friends know very much. They actually said in this stream that they have to explain to family and friends what streaming is.

        Getting sent Elgato gear and taking very long to set that and OBS up on her MacBook is a pretty good indicator that they don’t have anyone with the technical knowledge in the vicinity.

        No, I don’t “know” what OS she’s running but I can make a very educated guess that she keeps her stuff in their default state. And nothing has to do with her being young, female or an actress. She is actually the technically more capable and interested one in her relationship.
