Pretty exciting times ahead as Valve might finally release SteamOS to more hardware. This amount of Linux desktop coverage would be unimaginable few years ago.

    You’d think so, but it really doesn’t. Try running it on a modern Windows machine - even after all the tweaking you have to do, it still runs like a snail with a broken leg

      @LunarLoony That’s more because The Sims 2 (and especially The Sims 3) has always been slow because of bad programming decision. I recall The Sims 3 was such a massive I/O hog that moving to an SSD didn’t change the fact the I/O code was simply slow and couldn’t keep up with the demands on it.

      The only reason The Sims 4 was so fast was their lower-end target was bottom-end disposable Net Books with a Dorito for a CPU, which means running it on a real computer would make it fly.
