People might hate Epic but I think this is progress.
Hold your horses. I wanna bet that companies that jump to linux gravy train as of late are doing so because Valve is about to drop a nuclear bomb of a game changer on the market. These big players want a piece of the cake too and are desperately doing something to stay relevant.
It is good that things are moving linux' way, but I highly doubt that it was because Epic thinks gamers want it.
You are not wrong. This is a good take and something to keep in mind.
Too little, too late. It's still one of the worst companies in the entire industry, and deserves even more hate then it receives.
Any company can lie and bullshit it ain't progress till there's proof this isn't just a dead position that will just get axed in a year with nothing to show for it.
I don't see how an atttempt to enshitify Linux is progress... We should not be getting excited about being able to willingly install rootkits in Linux.
How does this enshittify Linux as a whole? Yes they make their rootkit available for Linux. Yet you still have a choice to install it or not.
