That could apply to everything from some sort of software service, to a game installer, to a streaming service, to an App Store for cross-platform games. You have to take into account the chaos that is the Internet and the promotional material shit storm of marketing speak. A sentence extremely close to this could easily be found on the top of the Razer Synapse promotional page. Why not lead with a simple description that uniquely describes what THIS is? I work in both development and psychology, and it’s frustrating when tech people make fun of others for not understanding their jargon, but those same people get extremely annoyed when they don’t understand anything outside their area because other fields use unnecessarily indirect and convoluted language. Why don’t we just help each other out and try not to create unnecessary cognitive load, just to understand what something is? It is actually possible without dumping down, it’s just a little framing that is needed.

- GaryBluto 11mo agoHis comment isn't exactly a wall of text, it's perfectly fine as it is.
- suspended_state 11mo agoI'm reading it on my computer, and it's perfectly fine; yet, how would it look like on a smartphone?
- GaryBluto 11mo agoI shrunk my window's width and it still looked fine.
- suspended_state 11mo agoIt is true that it amounts to the same number of words, so why would it look more like a wall of text when the text is narrower? Perhaps it has to do with the number of lines?

- topherhunt 11mo agoIf you're trying to argue that this snippet should answer the question of "what is Bazzite"... have you looked at marketing-speke websites lately? Think of how many different categories of service / product / platform / technology call themselves "the operating system for the next generation of XYZ". +1 to jtrn's complaint here; when Bazzite's homepage doesn't own up and immediately say "Bazzite is a Linux distribution", it's being unnecessarily unclear, and it loses my trust.
- thunfischtoast 11mo agoThis was a very recent change. Just yesterday the same line read "The next generation of Linux gaming". So it's good someone is taking feedback!
- CodeMage 11mo agoNow it does. It didn't when the original comment was made.
- hulitu 11mo ago> The first text on the page says: > > The operating system for the next generation of gamers This doesn't say anything.
