Has it really been that long? Apparently so. Valve originally announced their rebranding of Steam Play with Proton back on August 21st, 2018. Seems like a good time for a quick reflection being halfway to a decade old now with the tech that gave rise to the Steam Deck.
It’s what set me free to move to Linux for good! It’s such a relief to not be affected by all the bullshit Microsoft brings to the world with Windows 11+.
Now we just need to worry about Google’s web environment bullshit!
“just”… Enshittification is too real. :(
Back to the command line browsers
I would almost prefer it. Javascript is the herpes of html, and the majority of websites now are just completely infested with it. I don’t know if these companies are actually visiting their own sites, but it’s horrible. Ton’s of wasted data and time on this garbage. I have been going in and turning off javascript just to keep all of the shit from popping up, covering the screen, etc. So yeah, a command line browser sounds pretty fucking good again.
I still use Lynx to get around paywalls.
