Just checked it out and it seems that Playtron is yet another Linux distro for gamers. I just can't see how this can be monitized. How do they plan to get users away from Windows, SteamOS or even Bazzite?

As @thejevans@lemmy.ml said in their above comment, they're also backed by a company heavy into crypto bullshit.

Also, anything can be monetized. Never underestimate the ability of greedy fuckheads to be greedy fuckheads.
