Playtron are quietly building up their Linux-based PlaytronOS behind the scenes, and not only have they released their first Alpha but they've pulled in another investor too.

    Playtron’s CEO, Kirt McMaster, added, “We are thrilled to join forces with such a legendary games publisher as Square Enix. The PC we know is morphing into new forms that require a purpose built OS for gaming that meets the demands of powerful new gaming hardware such as handhelds and new players who have grown up in a mobile 1st world with much more sophisticated UX sensibilities. This investment will accelerate the development and deployment of GameOS and create new experiences for players around the globe.”

    Huh, so Playton’s CEO is an early example of an AI being used to replace people.

    Only way playtronOS will interest me is if they can get those “interested partners” to work with anti cheat but if they only work with playtronOS than that’s dumb.

        I do agree actually and that progress is part of what pulls me towards Linux in general because I love seeing the improvement. (I am by no means an expert in Linux workings but) my fear from the anti cheat perspective is what if they work with those partners to only work with that distro and not a Linux wide solution if that’s not possible than by all means let me know lol.
