Open source drivers are a major plus, I’ve had a much easier time than my partner on NVIDIA. I mean I make both machines work but the NVIDIA has been a real pig at times.

God yes, it was fucking with my partners graphics drivers, and killed most games I have running.


Yeah, most of that is on purpose. They fucked the search engines.
Oh, like a laptop that unfolds into an ultra wide?


Vibrating atoms got nowhere to disperse vibrations if no other atoms present


Oh that’s sick hell yeah


Maybe after windows 8? Last time I can remember.


I keep hearing people wanting steamOS, but it’s just gonna be another distro. I think it’ll be good, it might have decent support and be moderately stable, but you can have that experience like already, in a few different places. Not perfect, but the option is a few bugs or constantly having to battle Microsoft trying to spy on everything.


Right? It’s a huge bridge between x86 and ARM, it just opened up a potentially huge market for lower power consumption gaming devices. You could have like a Gameboy that runs silksong or something.


Such a brain-dead stance on the matter. Nobody is asking for your garbage DRM servers, we literally want the opposite of that.


I’m gonna be that guy, most of them are in some way or another. The devs literally decided to not bother pressing the button that enables compatibility because they don’t feel like it.
Both? Both. Both is good.


Get an old PC, have a secure external data storage, and let them delete system files a few times, then teach them how to fix it themselves. Familiarity breeds comfort.


Yes, but wouldn’t we be using % of your vision vs pixels in display? Steam deck being right in front of my face and tv 5 or 6 metres away etc.
Absolutely higher res does look sharper though, which is great for movies etc. I’m more coming from a performance vs visual fidelity ratio. What I’m trying to express is that given 800p still looks surprisingly good, I’m starting to question the industry pushing higher resolution displays for gaming applications.


Honestly after using the steam deck (800p) I’m starting to wonder if res matters that much. Like I can definitely see the difference, but it’s not that big a deal? All I feel like I got out of my 4k monitor is lower frame rates.


Idk about you guys but I got sick of using an os that obviously doesn’t want me to use it.


Animelab died for this


I agree with this assessment of battery technology, I’m curious what your thoughts on storage through other means, such as dams, kinetic batteries, heat batteries, that style of thing? I understand that it’d be a massive undertaking, but if we really put our nose to the grindstone we might be able to pull off a good amount of power storage through methods that already exist.
