Ironically I will be using two versions of Steam when playing PC Games in Linux. I will be using Windows Steam with PlayOnLinux (Wine) so I can play my old games and I will be using Linux Steam for newer games as they arrive. What is the best way to refer to the two Steams? Lets keep it simple
I like Win-steam and Lin-Steam....seem to render clarity to the situation... But I'm easy to persuade if something else pleases more.
I think we want our abbreviation to be immediately understandable to the newbie, if it's not we will have to explain each time we use it...no? Win-steam and Lin-steam I think will be more understandable and therefore more useful.
Arg! I was calling them WinSteam and LinSteam... is this ok? Its quicker than adding the dash inbetween. We could go totally Linuxese and call them: winstm linstm Right? Isn't that how Linux naming schemes work? How about: LNS L - Linux N - Native S - Steam or PYGOLS P - Play Y - Your G - Games O - On L - Linux S - Steam
PYGOLS Are those related to seagulls? Or Pythons? Or a Python-Seagull cross-breed? And don't forget, PYGOLS backwards is SLOGYP! I really don't care what we use, so long as we are consistent.
Thats funny, I was just goofing off anyways... kinda poking fun at Linux developers I like WinSteam and LinSteam. WinSteam can be Windows Steam or Wine Steam... same thing
Remember, if the user can't immediately understand our abreviations, we will have to explain them...over and over again...Just so you know...":O}
