From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The first hardware that will be actually using it is the SuiPlay0x1, a strange looking and sounding web3 / blockchain handheld.

Oh dear.

SuiPlay0X1 runs Playtron's device-agnostic gaming operating system, enabling gamers to play both Web3 and Web2 games across PC and mobile.

GamesBeat have some more details, noting it will have "native Sui blockchain integration via zkLogin and Sui Kiosk SDKs, enabling asset ownership directly connected to a device’s account system for the first time in the gaming industry

What is a web3 game? Something that allows you to grind for NFTs?

TF2 hats but on a block chain instead of an inventory system.

Pros:

In theory you can still sell the item as a collectible even if the game dies (I doubt in practice though)
In theory it makes it possible for other games to use the same items to make stuff in their games (I doubt this in practice)

Cons:

it's a fucking block chain

Thing is, none of those advantages are real either, compared to a public database and API. Steam's inventory API already maintains items beyond the lifetime of games, AND you can use items across other games. You can't manipulate the Inventory of other games but I bet if there was demand (there isn't) this could be implemented easily.
