Does it also pull support for old Linux distributions?

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 23 points 2 days ago

Not directly but I'd think they'd pull support for older system packages & kernels, which would eventually affect you. There's not really much of a reason not to upgrade your Linux distros though.

They don’t support new technologies (Wayland), why would they drop support for old ones?

Steam has only ever supported the latest Ubuntu LTS and Steam OS.

It still works the same on any distro with SystemD. Side note, I have seen people getting Steam to work on Void and Artix.

That's pretty cool. Do you have a potato computer or do you just like a minimal system?

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have a minimal system on my Thinkpad T440p

Nice, I have a T420 myself. I love that machine. I was running Peppermint OS for a while. Until version 11, Hasn't been the same since 10. The update from 10 to 11 kind of took all the magic out of it for me. Now that machine runs EndeavourOS.
