Exactly, which means we, the consumers, are losing.

You’re right, but somewhere along the way we all got used to the other way

I missed this one, spot on.

Espanso? That’s what I did.

That’s wild. I loved my switch 1, but some of the stuff (virtual cards, fake game cards with a key, etc) and the price… I’ll just stick with my deck for now.

As they shouldn’t.

OS choice and hardware are a lot of it. I built a desktop in 2019 and it was the best experience I’ve had yet with Linux. Everyone works.

Nvidia 2070s, and ryzen 3800x, 64GB RAM. Even wifi and Bluetooth on the motherboard worked fine out of the box.

I used to have so many quirks once in a while on my last system and it was always to do with an update and an Nvidia driver, I’d have to drop to shell and manually reinstall it, or download a new one with cli browsers and install it lol.

But I persist because I love the idea and the mission.

While I use Windows for work and a steam deck mostly for gaming these days, any time I boot my desktop I’m blown away at how incredibly snappy it is compared to the windows of today.

Like I knew things were getting bad when the windows calculator started showing me a splash screen and needed to “load”, and when the start menu started showing similar quirks. Now we have AI shoved in everywhere and it’s just a gross OS to use.

But, I digress…

One of those “DODGE” under qualified losers.

What hardware, what Linux OS and are you using steam?

Your gaming experience can vary wildly depending on what you play.

BC is the new California. California is the new hell.

?

🤮

Same. I have an identity crisis myself now too.

Nah I figured it out. Zenarmour updated and blocked it for some reason.

True, the answer to that is more hardware unfortunately. I guess there are Linux options, I forget what they are though.

Any old hardware and run opnsense or pfsense (the former preferred)

Did Donald Trump release this bible?

What? It already doesn’t have most of the gamers.

Normies can use it easier than gamers. Linux on the right hardware is stable as fuck and Linux has always been good at running a web browser, which is like 99% of what normies do on computers these days.

Doesn’t load for me ☹️
