Build a PC
Install Linux
Fuck corporate bullshit.
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

No…no it doesn’t. Ask me how I know.

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

It doesn’t for everybody. What is so hard to grasp about the fact that your experience isn’t a general truth?

As a windows main but steam deck user, can confirm Linux being confusing.
Fucking wine prefixes.
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 was led to believe you could put windows on steamdeck? Am I wrong? I don’t have one.
You definitely can. The UI from Steam OS (Linux based) is much better though.
You could, but you wouldn’t
Linux is easy.
Not compared to using a console.
Consoles are easy, and I love my PS5 for chilling and playing games, and I love my Linux PC for its power and freedom from corporate bullshit.
Wait till you realize PlayStation is just Free BSD. 😏
Streaming with Sunshine 🌞 and Moonlight 🌙 is really spiffy too.
Playing games on my deck in bed with the power of my beefy PC 🧠🤯.
Plugging my Steam Library Micro SD Card from my deck <=> PC is as easy as a using Switch™ carts.
That you don’t have admin access to. Good for not fucking it up, bad for freedom.
I’d easily make the trade of linux standard being impossible to fuck up without rooting it, if it meant it became as easy to run as a commercial OS.
It’s remarkably difficult to really fuck up freebsd. On Linux, getting boots to fail is easy. FreeBSD is quite a bit more robust in that regard, as the base image isn’t updated piecemeal.

So? Fisher price makes some good toys if you want something easy to play with.
Same to your “Linux is easy” comment then.
I’m talking about an operating system, not a toy. Playstation is a toy, like a tonka truck, or a tricycle. Your rebuttal is bad.
Sometimes people want to play with a toy and not scream at their OS because of… millions of possible reasons.
Cool, but you’re in a gaming community in a post about the Playstation, so I’m not really sure why you’re talking about operating systems and behaving like this when someone talks about the console the post is about.
You are the reason why people think Linux fans are obnoxious twats.
I love Linux. I’ve moved both my PC and laptop to Linux this year and gotten rid of Windows completely and I’m loving it. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed doesn’t get enough love.
That being said… Linux is not easy guys. This guy is full of shit. But I would still recommend trying it if you’re an enthusiast with this sort of inclination.
It can be. But people don’t usually read instructions or ReadMEs or Docs first?
I will never understand why not. Did you know:
National average Proficient 34% Basic 65%That is totes a big ooof and explains a lot about many people. @.@
If I had to read documentation first, I wouldn’t be using Linux. We write software so we can automate things, so we should be able to automate away most of the troublesome parts until we’re just left with a useful device that does its job.
May I introduce you to republicans, and the bible belt?
Show me your hair.
And Windows is hard
You forgot the part where you get angry, because your hdmi doesnt work with linux
Bazzite is the answer you search for. Learn the terminal & eventually get a grasp on why atomic distros are cool and you’ll be okay. I was on windows for years & when I learned the terminal for that it was like I was giving God powers.
The only thing I’m trying to install linux on is my Raspberry Pi. Upon googling Bazzite, it doesn’t seem to support Raspberry Pi.
Also, I’ve been trying to learn terminal off and on for 15ish years, with no luck. I’ve been trying to get the fan to work, unsucsessfully on my raspberry pi, for 4 years now. Apperently I have to compile some code…I don’t know what that means…
Compiling means that you take code then run that code trough a program that checks if the code works like intended. After that it will put out a binary/exe/whatever that you can work with further.
From wiki:
In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language into another language. The name “compiler” is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming language to create an executable program. There are many different types of compilers which produce output in different useful forms.
And I have no idea what that means.
How do you reboot? You click start>power>reboot.
I know what that means.
Ask me to compile a script? Uhhhhh…
Open terminal > cd (command to change directory) into the directory where the code is that you want to compile > then run the compiler
In rust I would CD into the directory that I have written my code in. Let’s say user/rust/projects/example1 with the command:
cd user/rust/projects/example1
Now every command I type will be executed on that directory. The tool I use is called “cargo” the command to compile is “build”.
So with that information I type:
cargo build
While being in user/rust/projects/example1 and when I did everything right my Programm will compile and the result of that can be found in a folder in that project. Something like:
user/rust/projects/example1/build/prod
Hope that helps to give a overview of how the process is supposed to go when everything works without a problem.
Worst case scenario you can take it apart & put it back together to maybe find a defective part. Terminal is tricky because of the language barrier. It’s all just coding with extra steps which isn’t meant to dumb it down.
Yeah, and I don’t know coding. I need it dumbed down.
What the fuck are you on about? I just build a Raspberry Pi based console running RetroPie with a custom cooler, fan, and power button with LED indicator. Check out my recent posts to 3D printing.
I compiled nothing but RetroPie since the Pi 5 isn’t officially supported but it was dirt simple to do. Install Raspbian, clone RetroPie repo, run install script, press enter on the first option, wait a few hours.
Once again, you just suck at computing. Especially if after 15 years you still can’t Bash. In 15 years I built a career as a senior linux engineer.
The Super Notendo – https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/22628904
I just taught myself parametric CAD including both solid body and surface modeling in 3 months.
So you’re stating on this post that you understand coding, and know how to compile. You’re trying to “insult” me by saying I suck at computing.
Except I’m not insulted. You know who else sucks at it? EVERYBODY. It’s like an auto mechanic trying to insult you for knowing how to change a muffler, and how it’s so easy.
I don’t know how to change a muffler. I just want to drive the car. Just like everybody else.
I just want to push a button, have my fan work, and play retro games. I don’t want to have to bash in terminal. I don’t want to compile a program. I just want to play video games.
And you know who else just wants it to work with no programming knowledge needed? EVERYBODY.
THAT is the reason that after 30+ years linux is at an all time high user base with less than 5% of the market, despite Apple being expensive as hell in a tough ecconomy, and Windows being universally agreed on as being dog shit. People STILL don’t want to switch to linjx because NOBODY understands it or wants to deal with it.
They’d rather deal with Windows 11 spying on your screen, or paying an assload for a mac than deal with linux.
Some of us like linux and want to deal with it…
Boy that’s a lot of work just to play some old crap from more than 30 years ago
Or if you want something more turnkey, a Steam Deck. Want more flexibility? Put Bazzite on it.
Been building since 2003.
On Linux since 2018. Currently on Bazzite.
On meh 7950x X Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XTX and NVME 4.0 drive. 240hz 4k on Display Port.
Who would wanna play on cruddy console hardware lol. Based. Ironically I use a DualSense Edge.
Also have an OG and OLED Steam Deck.
I am spoiled by living near a Micro Center.
Tho the 9800X3D may launch as soon as next month for people wanting to wait.
Does Meh have good deals again? I used to check that daily but the last few years it seems like its been nothing but cheap chinese garbage.
I only go when fire sales are on.
I got my combo deal 7950x for cheap cheap when the 7800X3Ds launched. They were giving away free Ram with purchase at the time with them as well.
I once wrote a quick little scrapper that ran at midnight and would email me the listing. I think I’ll have to re-write it if there’s some sweet deals on hardware. Im still using my 10 year old 4k display i got for stupid cheap.
How’s the dualsense running on Linux? I opted for Xbox elite purely because I thought it’d have better support for the back pads but still not over bluetooth :-(.
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.
Who is making all those pc parts? It wouldn’t be corporations would it.
You’re still beholden to the hardware manufacturers whether you buy a PC or a shitty console but at least with a PC you have choices and you’re spreading your corporate money out to those you feel worth it instead of motherfucking freedom-hating Sony.
Fair point.

Yeah why would anyone pay 700 bucks for a highly restricted device, that can’t even play games online without an additional subscription. Just get a Steam Deck, which costs less, is portable, doesn’t require subscriptions, and basically works like a full PC.
I have a Steam Deck and a PS5 that I will be replacing with the Pro when it ships. So to give you an answer: I’m not going to be plugging a Steam Deck into a 4k 65" OLED TV with VRR. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Steam Deck, and I also enjoy PC gaming when mouse and keyboard makes sense, but sitting on the couch in font of a giant responsive display with amazing colors is by far how I enjoy gaming the most.
Ok but why are you replacing the regular PS5 with the PS5 Pro?
Because to me it is a worthwhile upgrade. If you compare the image quality in FF7 Rebirth specifically in the 60 FPS modes the differences are significant. The new ray tracing features in F1 2024 for the pro also made a big impact on how that game looks.
In general, I don’t like gaming at 30 FPS and I’ve been noticing that developers don’t always do a good job with their choices when dialing it back to get 60 FPS. For example, I’m holding off on buying Black Myth Wukong because their performance mode looks flawed right now, and I don’t want to play it at 30 either.
Quick question though, why not buy a PC and link it to the tv? The features you’re talking about are also on the PC and you’re not limited to their proprietary services and file formats.
I can’t even imagine telling my child self playing Joust in the arcade about people like you…
60 fps is good enough to justify the upgrade? Could build a PC capable of well beyond that for not much more…
deleted by creator
Yeah … And I asked why. 🤦♂️
Yeah I totally skipped that word, my bad!
Nobody wants to pay $310 ($80 for a disc drive, $30 for a stand) more for a machine that looks better if you pause the game and squint hard.
Here’s a good example:
Can’t see it? The PS5 Pro has added reflections on Venom’s back and right shoulder. The texture on the door of the Jeep is marginally improved.
It really is tough to see the doubled framerate when you pause the game.
What if I told you it’s not going to double the framerate either?
https://www.thefpsreview.com/2024/09/11/psa-ps5-pro-enhanced-games-may-only-run-at-30-fps/
The picture that you posted was from a demonstration showing the Pro mode looking similar to Fidelity while running at double the frame rate.
No point in high fps when consumers don’t know that their tv is only 60hz and they still have whatever motion smoothing options still turned on.
Well I’m a consumer and I can guarantee you that i can tell when a game is running at 30 vs 60 fps.
Still not buying a Pro though.
Pause twice
Just gotta pause faster!
It’s more, almost only, visible on the enemies venom is destroying. Overall it’s slightly less blurry.
Wait is that really how blurry it is in game? That would make me sick trying to play a game like I was nearsighted constantly.
I’m sure it got jpegged to hell by the various sites sharing it.
- Negligible performance/visual increases.
- Expensive
- PS5 still has NO GAMES
If you buy this thing, congratulations! You are an idiot!
And no drive, so it’s not like it only does movies
Hey now there’s like 2 games.
Not enough to make me buy a PS5 but still
uh what are you even talking about?? It has block-buster console sellers like Concord
Astro Bot.
A quick look on eBay suggests the only people buying them seen are scalpers.
Hope they all get fucked on this one.
This happened with the ps3, the chief at playstation at the time said we wouldnt be able to find them at retail. My friends and I made some fun snapping pics of them sitting on shelves.
We were way into the game news scene at the time.
The PS3 also had damn few games to play at launch. If it wasn’t for Sony’s decision to ship it with a BD-ROM drive it probably would have been a total flop. Home theater nerds saved the PS3.
And I’m thankful for that because, when the promotion was right, I bought one. Warhawk, MAG, Demons souls and KZ2. What a great generation of games.
$700 for a console that’s barely even better and in some ways is worse. What a deal!
“GOOD GOOD”
“Twice the pride double the fall.”’
“I’ve been looking forward to this.”
599 US Dollars.
It’s Ridge Racer…RIIIIIIDGE RACER!!!
Man we don’t even get Ridge Racer anymore, it’s why the generations just haven’t been the same.
Isn’t the PS5 like 5 years old? Why would it be sold out?
Ps5 pro, just got released. But it’s entirely too expensive for what its offering over base ps5, doesn’t have a disc reader, and while I love my base model there really aren’t that many games taking advantage of it so having to pay more for remastered last gen games doesn’t feel like a good value for most folks I’d imagine.
Wait wait wait…I haven’t been paying attention to the pro at all since I hard the price point…it really doesn’t have a disc drive?
Nope, you can buy an external one or something as an accessory but it’s another hundred bucks.
This is the Pro, the mid-cycle refresh with more power and whatnot.
I am just going to wait until the prices go down in the fall and there is still plenty left and then buy a PC instead.
You had me in the first half, ngl
Around a grand plus tax where I live. Fuuuck that
My ps5 is collecting dust. I wish it was more like a Steam machine.

I don’t know about recession, but I know I’ve hit a personal inflection point with prices where I’m just sick of the bullshit and only buy if absolutely necessary, or on sale.
Everyone is so fucking greedy, everyone wants just 5 more dollars bro to the point where the consumerism has been driven out of me.
I actually have money to buy shit, I just don’t want to anymore because nothing seems to correspond to its value anymore.
A new car? 35 k for a fucking base kia, gtfo out with this shit.
New phone? 1.2k for the same screen bullshit as the last 5 years.
Same with this PS5, they are pricing this shit like it’s lifesaving medicine, when in reality it’s just shit no-one really needs

you did not just make a whole comment responding to one single downvote
You got one too you better go talk to 'em, it wasn’t me though I swear
This makes no sense. Why would a company want their product to be sold out? The goal is to balance supply and demand. So they SHOULDN’T sell out. It’s not a limited edition product or anything. This post is sensationalized as fuck.
I think they’re implying a comparison to the PS4. It was notoriously difficult to get a PS4 for months after it’s release because it was constantly sold out
Um, 5. That was the ps5.
![[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7d87d164-1056-4477-a6a0-eaabf67ac7fb.png){kind=link}
