schestowitz                    <p>The news comes one day after Humble announced changes to its Humble Choice subscription model which, while buried in the announcement, requires use of their new launcher. It’s a minor blow to those who pre-ordered Steam Deck or will be running Steam OS 3.0 next month. It’s a big year for gaming on Linux and an even bigger year for portable gaming as new users around the world are set to get their hands on the powerful Jan 14 08:57

schestowitz                    <p>For those who remember, Humble Bundle started out offering DRM free games for Linux way back in 2010. At that point in time they were indeed a humble outfit.</p></blockquote></li>Jan 14 08:57

Techrights-secRMS points out, you can ignore the politics but the politics won't ignore you.Jan 14 09:26
Techrights-secThose two facts cause problems where they collide. Jan 14 09:26
