Really insightful video on how ambitious TES II was and how it still can be enjoyed with various QOL improvements made by the community. Also a nice suprise to see that you can get it for free (?), haven't actually tried getting it myself, but it is listed as an option nontheless. Anyways, watch this if you're interested in deep diving into one of the biggest RPGs of the 20th century!

Will they deliver dev toolkits on time so there's actually something to use in those machines other than a browser?

When an app supports linux, it can do so by either:

  • packaging it for popular distro repositories,
  • giving instructions on how to build the app from the source code

or

  • package it on distro-agnostic, package management solutions like flatpak or appImage.

These last ones are sandboxed environments. That means they have their own dependencies isolated from your system, so they dont have to deal with every distros pecularities at the cost of using more storage space. This is very useful for developers and in your case benefitial for the user because you can have both steam and zoom via flatpak on mint, arch or any obscure distro that has flatpak available, without any major problems.
