  • Yeah the plug and play advantage of consoles is a big one. You just know that it’ll always run fine.

    Well I guess you’re right about an optical drive being sold for a while, but I’m sensing that more and more games are gonna have no physical edition.

    Also, to be honest, Linux gaming and the ability to have your game on every computer while being on an open system is also attracting me.

    I think my perfect setup would be:

    • a Steam Deck with the ability to run Fedora workstation (I love Gnome) for a few games and my administration
    • a Playstation for demanding games and racing simulations
  • A really great game, only bested by the second one.

    I played it a few times on ps3, then once on the PS4. I got my PS5 with the remake but I sold the game as it didn’t need a remake since nothing about it was old.

  • I mostly see Asahi Linux as a way to keep these M Macs in use once they’re too old to get official updates and once they become really cheap on the used market.

    If on top of this Apple is forced to bring back some repairability/upgradeability, it would be great.

    Buying an used computer is the only thing environnementaly friendlier than buying something from a brand like Framework.

  • As long as you have a way to know if it’s a Signal to whatsapp conversation, I don’t see the problem.

    If you only want to talk to Signal users, you could just deactivate the interooerability option.

  • It’s surprising that games are getting cheaper compared to the cost of living. If you take into consideration the fact that games are becoming more expensive to produce, I really don’t understand it.

    Gaming is way cheaper for me than it was during the ps2 or ps3 era.

    Still, I don’t want games to become more and more ambitious and cost more and more. So, if I get GTA6, it’s gonna be at a reasonable price, maybe even second hand since I don’t need to directly support Rockstar.

  • I’m sorry to judge you, but I don’t think a 2 year old should be using a computer.

    I think it’s important for kids to learn how to really use a computer (instead of just a smartphone), but it’s mostly important to show them they can have fun away from screens.

  • I understand what you’re saying and I guess it’s true that some people are just finding excuses.

    But I think you also lack some empathy towards everyone ´s user’s case.

    Personnaly, switching fully to Linux was pretty easy as 99% of my gaming is being done on Playstation.

    On my playstation 5 I can know for sure that I can play every game I fancy.

    Why am I gaming on consoles? Mostly because it involves no tinkering.

    So, despite having gotten rid of Windows a while ago, I would easily give up if I had to tinker to get a game running.

    I know that gaming on Linux as never been so easy, but gaming on PC (windows or linux) looks already too difficult for some people with all the requirements.

    I might jump to a Linux gaming rig in the future, but I can also understand why some people are choosing an easy path.

  • I also don’t really care about more people switching to Linux, except for the fact that it’s gonna force developers to make their games run on Linux.

    There’ll also be some downsides with more people using linux, like more viruses..

    In a way, I’d focus more on the fact that it would be cool if more people used Linux on phones instead of ios/Android. That could make it easier to run at one point..
