The heat gets so bad here that I am practically dreading living half the year. I'm so thankful for winter months though. I love the snow and being able to play on my PC to heat my room up from the cold easily. I feel like I can barely game and do much in summer/spring because of all the extra heat my GPU puts off...
Maybe it's just my CPU or something wrong with my setup, but i feel like new games (especially ones that run on Unreal Engine 5) really kick my computers ass at 1440p. Just got the 7900xtx last year and using a ryzen 9 3900xt i got from 2020 for reference. I remember getting new cards like 10 years ago and being able to crank the settings up to max with no worries, but nowadays I feel I gotta worry about lowering settings or having to resort to using upscaling or frame generation.
Games dont feel very optimized anymore, so I can see why people might be upgrading more frequently thinking it's just their pc being weak. I miss the days where we could just play games in native resolution.
I hope this helps give Linux some love. Been using Bazzite and it seems to do the job pretty well.
Lemmy isn't reddit so you're good
Thanks for the info. Gonna check it out!
Edit: Ok you know what bazzite looks awesome. I'm definitely gonna install it later this week on my main pc and see how it goes
Yeah I only have used the steam deck, but I imagine the alternative Windows based handhelds feel much more clunky/hacky since Windows has issues suspending things in general, especially games. Maybe they fixed some of the issues on that end by now, but I feel like SteamOS is really the best and most viable option here for these other companies looking to cash in on this trend. Especially since Windows is bloated as is and not really made for this type of thing.
Not sure if Valve does this already, but perhaps they could license out SteamOS to other manufacturers too? It would make Valve's "competition" more lucrative for them. At the very least, I hope more people start using SteamOS so Linux gaming gets more adoption as time goes on. Valve has done absolute wonders for the linux community with Proton.
Agreed. At least fast food is so overpriced now that it's really easy to avoid going out at all nowadays!
Because there's always going to be someone who says the distro you liked the most is not the distro you should be using. (I use Arch btw)
"Removed" Reddit in a nutshell.
Can't even view r*ddit links anymore because they hate VPNs..
