if anyone was looking for a good time to switch to PC, it's now. some stuff will be harder but you'll have steam sales and control over your own device (more than a console anyway, if your running windows you'll still have to put up with Microsoft).

Luckily, there is another choice. Linux runs pretty smooth and has gotten much simpler to use over the years.

Plus steam deck is pretty solid.

Yeah, I've been an xnbox user since 360 but I don't think I'll stick with another console.

I've been looking at handheld PC`s....

personally I prefer a laptop over a handheld but those should work decent too

I have Win11 at work and its frustrating as hell. Definitely switching over to linux when I decide to buy a new pc
