  • No, nobody said they couldn’t have there own launcher or put it on other platforms, we just don’t want launchers in our launcher that we have to use a keyboard and mouse on an other wise controller based game.

    I am about to have an old man yells at cloud moment but I remember when it was incredibly controversial to have a launcher at all, steam itself in a less restricted form than we have today was very controversial.









  • Technically a terminal is a physical crt or phosphate or whatever old kind of monitor they had back then, the dot matrix printer was a tty or teletype system, the terminal emulator is emulating the the old dumb analog monitor on top of the digital os not necessarily the tty although the terminal was doing the same function as the tty, so a raw terminal would be graphical… I guess we are going so far back the words are losing meaning but the terminal emulator which runs on top of the GUI classifies as part of the GUI as much as notepad or word


  • If we want to be technical even the terminal itself is a GUI just not a very interactive one, technically anything(most things) outside of the grub loader, bios and drives are part of the gui, I will concede that that is not a very useful definition but when dealing with edge cases like terminal emulators you would have to say it is indeed part of the gui at least technically.
