if you don’t care, and want their team to ‘protect you’ from doing pc damage, the. use bazzite.

234·2 months agoThink about it this way, people. Yes, it may be more expensive than a PlayStation. However, Steam offers numerous deals several times a year, so it will be worth the investment. In the long run, owning a Steam Machine or PC will pay for itself.
Unfortunately, due to the craze of AI server farms, PC parts are becoming more expensive. For example, the price of RAM has doubled, and analysts say that SSDs will suffer the same fate.

126·3 months agoLong story short, if the Steam Machine gains enough market share, game publishers will want to join in because it will mean more money for them. It’s all about money.
Beautiful, where is this?


I’m running KDE Wayland on an AMD 9070 XT video card and I’ve absolutely no problem. Perhaps it’s your system because Wayland has been heaven. Linux is finally a modern OS.
