Build a PC
Install Linux
Fuck corporate bullshit.
PS5 pro is a waste of money, but also lots of people don't want a PC to play games. Two things can be true at the same time!
Yep.
I'm a die hard Linux nerd, but I would still Rather have a console.
But what I really want is a console that just runs Linux so I can keep it updated and fix minor issues without all the bullshit.
Steam Deck
i'd argue that a console running linux would be a PC, even if it's plugged into your living room tv
I would argue that a PC without a keyboard, dedicated to gaming is a console.
Was the PS3 fat a PC? It ran Linux.
Build a pc.
Install linux.
Get confused by linux.
What the fuck does linux want from me???
Rip hair out.
Be bald.
People confuse you for skinhead.
Wear wig.
Wig blows off on sunny windy day.
Lose wig.
Be sad.
This is absurd. Where's the step to grow a beard and become a hobbit?
Step 0
Use rats as wig
"Honey, don't look"
As a windows main but steam deck user, can confirm Linux being confusing.
Fucking wine prefixes.
What's confusing about wine prefixes apart from the fact that wine itself doesn't come with a graphical interface to manage them? On a Deck, Steam should handle these for you
To be fair, it's just because windows is the most used and common desktop operating system and the two OSs are different. People would be confused about windows too if the tables were turned.
Also the Linux community is toxic and overcomplicates things for no reason.
This is true to a large extent. No one goes out of their way to make Linux easy.
Don't get me started on GitHub.
I see you're getting down voted and I feel for you. Linux is a breeze if you know what you're doing and git if the dev knows what they're doing. But if you're not an it wizard or very much an enthusiast, Linux just is more complex.
So this is nothing for you, but more to the gatekeepers downvoting you
I agree for the most part but it really does "just work" for gaming. If you use Chimera or Bazzite it works almost just like a console.
No...no it doesn't. Ask me how I know.
Yes...Yes it does. Ask me how I know. Actually I'll just tell you: I use it every day.
It doesn't for everybody. What is so hard to grasp about the fact that your experience isn't a general truth?
That'd be cool if that was true... But I installed nobara on my brand new PC and kingdom come crashed when I fast traveled, Hades 2 ran at like 20 fps, and dragons dogma just wouldn't launch. I get Linux is cool and all but I don't have time to troubleshoot every game I install anymore...
Not quite "just works" but I'd be willing to bet that your computer defaulted to the iGPU instead of your dGPU because you didn't specify as such in your launch options
I'd be willing to get those games run fine on a console and in Windows with no extra steps.
So you don't download your GPU drivers? That's more steps than adding a launch option
