Because it took me a few years to create my perfect Fedora workstation installation.

If one days it becomes bricked, I’d probably switch to an immitable distribution, but I’m sticking with workstation as long as it works.

Also there is no real upside to switching for me.

Oh great you made me discover that on the Beta on ios I can log in.

What you’re saying clearly makes sense and I hadn’t thought about the fact that the videogames market had grown so much.

Still I also think it’s important to take into account that 80$ in 1999 isn’t 80$ in 2025.

I’m clearly not rooting to get more expensive games, but I want everything to be taken into account.

Anyway, I ain’t gonna buy any Nintendo console when how little my kids have used the Switch compared with the Playstation.

Not that I know of.

I guess my way of seeing the world isn’t shared by so many people.

I’ve watched a video on Youtube https://youtu.be/SYmLPVabb3A saying that you can play it docked on the Steam Deck. Has anyone tried it?

The article was really interesting and made me appreciate everything Valve has brought to the Linux ecosystem.

It’s also why, once I’ll have a Steam Deck in a few months, I’ll probably buy my games on Steam instead of GOG even if game preservation is important to me.

To be honest no, but I know that Mario Kart is making Nintendo a lot of money even if the game is really good and not the cheapest one.

I can’t blame Nintendo for trying to make more money, but don’t blame people for trying to spend less.

I love this game except for the fact that it seems having the biggest city is the way to win when having the best quality of lifeand the least environnemental impact would be my way to win. But I guess it’s my green side😅

These games are what’s making me look at PC gaming instead at just Playstation.

I’m not schocked by a game costing around 80$ as that’s already what a new game costs in my country.

I remember buying Final Fantasy 8 almost 30 years ago for above 90$ as a teenager.

I also kind of remember that NES and Super NES games were really expensive.

I’m not saying that I want the price of games to increase though and I think it’s weird that Nintendo is doing this when their games clearly aren’t the most expensive ones to create.

I know I won’t be buying a Switch 2and I think people should vote with their wallets.

Simply the most beautiful game I’ve ever played (not even on ps5 but on ps4) and one of the greatest too.

I’m using Fedora workstation (Gnome) and the updates are done while turning off the computer.

Next time I start it, it starts without having to apply or download anything.

The only thing which could be improved is that you still have to go to the software center to download updates, but you can apply them whenever you want.

Okay I understand now, but I think the formulation could have been better then😇

Why? I’ve been running a Surface Go 1 with Fedora since 2020 and I plan on keeping it until 2029 at least.

So I can’t see the planned obsolescence except if you meant the ability to upgrade its internals..

Yeah I guess so.

That’s why I’ll soon be getting a Steam Deck to sit alongside my Playstation.

It’s my first move towards Linux gaming.

I ain’t so convinced to be honest, but I’m always keeping an eye on their next move.

Playstation 6 will really reveal a lot about their plans.

We might have a fully retrocompatible console with a (optional) disc drive.

We might also have a digital only console with subscriptions.

Ii it’s the later, I’ll be jumping to Linux gaming.

If they do this, I might leave Sony. But I don’t think they would such a thing except if they really remive every physical drive, which would also make me think about leaving.

Clearly the article is about game preservation. Could they do more? Of course but it’s already a start.

Let’s hope the PS6 lets you play games from every generation before.

For image backups I use Clonezilla.

It works well but I don’t know how easily you could take an image from one computer to a different one. I tried once and it didn’t work because of Legacy Bios issues..still I guess it works between two modern computers.

I’d love if something like this was implemented directly in a distribution for ease of use.

I have a Surface Go 1 and I’m really happy with it.

But, I have to admit it was tricky to boot Linux on it and the blutooth doesn’t always work. The cameras too, but I don’t care.

Still, it’s a great device that you can attach to a big screen to get the best of both worlds (easy to transport and useful at home).

And also how do you manage to play so much?

I can only play around 7 hours a week so I’m kind of avoiding long games.
