Oh it’s possible, and it runs well, but I’d never recommend the SD for that.

But it’s all in your expectations I guess. I don’t use my SD for serious game sessions, I use it to goof off in bed, or on a plane or ferry.

A lot of people I’ve spoken to seem to think it’s a replacement for a ps5 or a full sized gaming computer. It’s enough to get by, but I wouldn’t tell anyone to chuck their setup and get one.

This is why my wife gets a stomach ache from brewed coffee, but will absolutely destroy a jug of cold brew.

It’s an outstanding machine for little rogue-likes at the bus stop, or some Star Fox, but I’m not even going to try to load something like Expedition 33 on it.

Yeah, it was super fun. I tried reformatting, I bought a new drive and put new Windows on it and the same thing happened.

I could drill down into the work that went into DXVK before Proton came about, enabling the Steam Deck, but that’s a boring history lesson. I will concede that newer bleeding edge hardware is far more likely to be plug and play on Windows, but one of the leading reasons I transitioned was Windows removing support for the audio chipset on the motherboard for my Ryzen 1600. Every time I rebooted, I’d have to unpack a zip file and reinstall the audio drivers, it was maddening.

In my experience (so, totally anecdotal), my hardware is stable longer on Linux than Windows.

Yeah that’s the biggest reason I haven’t pulled the trigger on a VR set.

The pace of hardware for the last few years has been crazy rapid with almost zero thought given to non-windows OS’s. The people working on reverse engineering drivers for headsets get one operable just in time for it to be out of date.

I mean, yes, but I also do dev coding work, run AI models, produce audio and video content from my machine. But years ago I adopted a ‘No BS’ software approach and rid myself of software that was deliberately getting in my way so transitioning to a fully *Nix workflow wasn’t an issue for me.

If anyone working with aggressively anticonsumer software right now tried to switch, it’s a nightmare.

I fucking hope not.

The other night I dreamed Uncle Scrooge solved The Lament Configuration, so Huey Duey and Louie went to the pain dimension to rescue him. I don’t want to dream, I just want to die in peace.

If all you do is game, outside of a few key games (Destiny 2, uhh,couple others) the experience on Linux is better for many folks.

I like the idea that they approached Sony about making a Horizon game but Sony said no and they were like "Oh, well, this game is coming out…

It sucks if well meaning people are caught up in this, but it also sucks if you’re living in the aggressor state of an ongoing war.

Those interests usually mean you have good experience with alcohol.

If you’re going to try and compete with something like Steam, you need to actually compete.

Most launchers are storefronts at best and nothing else. Often the buying experience isn’t even good.

I’m still using my Pebble Time. I’ve tried the Apple watch during my IPhone experiment, a fitbit, and a Garmin. Honestly the pebble is head and shoulders above any of them.

Haven’t enjoyed a Pokémon game in years. Palworld is a blast however. The humor, the designs, and the game play. It’s about time somebody did Pokémon right

The Jon Stewart Crossfire episode is still one of my favorite interviews ever. It might not have been Jon’s shining moment, but it did cost Tuck his job. Though, thinking about it, tuck did pretty well for himself afterwards.

Oh God. Did Jon Stewart create Tuckers Fox success?

I’m an aged university student, and I spend most of the first day of any group project trying to convince people why NOT to use Discord or Instagram for all our comms.

It’s infuriating, but sometimes I feel like I’m yelling at a cloud.

Somebody’s been reading old issues of Knight of the Dinner Table?

Yeah. Some folk use portable computers on top of their laps. It’s weird :/

Finally an ai image with the correct amount of fingers! Was that so hard?
