That’s me with Battlefield 6. I fucking hate it, but I have too much fun playing BF6 with friends to only have Linux.

Ehh. It’s definitely going to be more than traditional consoles. Whether it’s worth it to you depends on how much you care about having a console like experience on your TV, except with your steam library, and all the goodness that comes with a Linux-based OS.

I think he just doesn’t have a filter. He says what he thinks, and that often comes across as abrasive. He has an extremely low tolerance for idiots, which I think is where most of his anger has been directed to, but he has mellowed out over the years.

I definitely don’t think they’re aiming for the high-end or pro market, but I also don’t think the average casual gamer is going to choose an unknown quantity that’s likely much more expensive than a console they already know works. That kind of risk is usually taken only by people who are more enthusiastic or more in the know, which doesn’t describe casual gamers.

Personally, I like the idea of it as a way to play my Steam library on my living room TV, much more conveniently than streaming, using long cables and Bluetooth devices, or lugging a heavy computer tower. It might also appeal to console gamers who want to get a computer but don’t know the first thing about them. The Steam Machine is a complete package that works more or less like the consoles they’re familiar with.

I love Cachy, it’s the distro I use in my dual boot.

It needs to at least match console performance, aiming for 4K@30, maybe medium settings. 4K@60 would be ideal of course.

Am also curious because I have Eufy cameras, and would like to switch at some point.

What does that have to do with needing NVIDIA?

Not sure, I installed a distro on my laptop when I was like 11 but I don’t remember which one it was.

The latch is optional. Most of my DP cables don’t have them, and I’m glad for it because they’re sometimes a pain in the arse to unlatch.

I just can’t get HDR working and it’s annoying.

Have been using PowerToys for years, can’t imagine using Windows without it.

The thing with Windows is that it’s very much set and forget with HDR. I don’t bother with auto HDR since it isn’t great, but I just enable HDR, and have RTX HDR handle non-HDR games. I don’t really need to touch anything else or launch games in a specific way to get it working. I’ve tried VR with Linux but I’ve been spoiled by the accessibility of VD.

For me it’s Nvidia tech, VR, and HDR, even if they’re technically supported, they’re much more of a hassle than on Windows.
