Music. I’ve got an extensive collection of vinyl records, and a smaller collection of CDs, tapes, and MiniDiscs.

I’m glad this was over what sort of games Steam sells and pushing back against payment processors, but the flipside to this is how Steam has far too lax moderation of its community forums as well (which is explicitly part of Gaben’s position here). Billionaires aren’t your friends, Gabe is politically a weird libertarian that people just happen to like, and Steam’s community is one of its most toxic features.

I used it the last time I travelled, it worked just fine, and I assumed it did the regular amount of data harvesting my daily phone and internet service providers do.

I had a 1060 for a good few years that I used primarily with Arch and never really had an issue. At the time it didn’t play nicely with Wayland, so I was still using Xorg instead, but I think that’s a solved issue by now. Nvidia just doesn’t support newer features as readily as AMD does it seems. It really should have no bearing on your ability to play games.

I wrote something similar about returning to traditional music formats on my own blog https://audiovalentine.com/2025/01/death-to-spotify-a-survey-of-alternatives/
