Yeah, well, I've had better luck with Heroic than Steam proper
I don't believe you.
it boils down to my GoG library being safely backed up in storage media and preserved safely
You can do the same with DRM-free Steam games. If you don't understand that, I can't help you but you're wrong.
Even if Heroic didn't solve that problem entirely (which it kinda does)
It actually doesn't. Half the games I install through Heroic don't work. Meanwhile Steam games work 100% of the time. That's the problem.
Plus the point of GoG is not that you can have games with no DRM in it, it's that you have to.
Don't really see the practical difference except that it has like 1% of Steam's library for that reason.
It's not advisable to expose Jellyfin to the internet.
Wrong.
Telling people they don't need VPN means you are encouraging them to expose it to the internet.
Wrong again.
and just works unlike the probably-better-in-theory freeware alternative on Linux, DaVinci Resolve
I've never been able to get GPU acceleration working on a single device with KDEN. "Just works" with Resolve. Not saying you're wrong, just hasn't been my experience.
Sure, I'm just saying Epic is not any better than Valve in that regard. They're just in a different position.
Great, maybe one day they'll stop requiring their rubber stamp.
I like GoG but they don't support Linux, they don't take a smaller cut, and developers are free to submit their games to Steam without DRM.
Ive tried them all and only stuck with Yunohost.
I definitely want Steam to lose some market share
I want them to have some competition...
Epic only does it because they know they're the underdog. If that were to one day become untrue they would never do anything like this again.
It's not made overseas
Sure, I'm just saying Epic is not any better than Valve in that regard. They're just in a different position. It wouldn't make financial sense for Steam to do something like that.
