AMD rx 6800 is $350 said to be equivalent.

I’m not interested but it’s cool that Sony is giving Digital Foundry a bunch of new content.

Yeah, that’s why I left. I realized I was wanting a different more Win/Mac/KDE(Classic?) experience on my desktop. It’s just hard to leave because I used to really like Gnome back in the day.

Ugh! I used to only use Gnome. KDE just seemed like a mess. Gnome 3 came out and I tried to like it but decided to take a break. I used classic gnome, mint, xfce and some others that I can’t remember. For years I bounced around. Finally, a year ago, I was ready to give Gnome a shot again. I really tried. Learning the quick key commands, then giving into old style habits and getting all the plugins that’s made everything just right.

Two things happened. First, I updated my OS and some of my 3rd party plugins no longer worked. Second, I didn’t like how I had to install a bunch of community plugins to get basic desktop functionality. I finally realized that what I wanted from a desktop gui was not what gnome vision is and I was forcing my wants with add-ons.

I heard that the Steam Deck uses KDE. So I tried KDE and was really impressed. The messy feel that I disliked seemed to be gone. KDE is currently working well for me.

This is just my experience. I’ve have read plenty of forums with people who seem to like modern Gnome.

Then what about 🐪🐪🐪?

If they could only do something innovative and fun.

Why only Germany? Adult games on Steam are pretty much porn.

Umm 🤔, they have weekly free games. Epic games had effectively trained me to not pay for games.

Meh

Give us backwards compatibility!

I’m sad.

Valve is the only good thing in the hellscape. Linux support, cheap games and free multiplayer.

Who else provides this?

Still waiting for that backward compatibility with discs.

The indie scene still seems good though.

I upgraded to PC running Linux instead

Hopefully in Arch already

Article for the sake of having an article.

Pretty good! I’m liking kde. It’s very user friendly and you didn’t have to tweak the crap out of it.

Standard stuff every company does after a acquisition. Plus Microsoft just want you to subscribe to it’s game service. I’m not sure this is for everyone.

Depends. Ha ha

RPMs at work, Debs for my RaspberryPi devices. PacMan (Arch) and Flatpaks for home.

Flatpaks are great. I install my core os and gui with the base package management. All my user side packages are Flatpaks. I then use Flatseal to lock down and modify Flatpaks as needed. What’s great is running programs like wine without installing a ton of dependencies and then locking the install from parts of my computer I don’t want it to have access to.
