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…
It is true. I specifically mentioned Chimera and Bazzite. The experience is totally different with those. Also if you have an Nvidia GPU, you’re probably going to have a bad time regardless. Left that bit out. But I solved that problem by switching to AMD.
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
Might be based on FreeBSD, but much in the same way as Android is based on Linux, it doesn’t provide you any of the freedoms that a typical Linux distro does.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
![[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}
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.
As a windows main but steam deck user, can confirm Linux being confusing.
Fucking wine prefixes.
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.
Use rats as wig
“Honey, don’t look”
This is absurd. Where’s the step to grow a beard and become a hobbit?
Step 0
You forgot the part where you get angry, because your hdmi doesnt work with linux
I agree for the most part but it really does “just work” for gaming. If you use Chimera or Bazzite it works almost just like a console.
No…no it doesn’t. Ask me how I know.
Yes…Yes it does. Ask me how I know. Actually I’ll just tell you: I use it every day.
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…

How do you know? Are you some kind of wizard?
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.
Might be based on FreeBSD, but much in the same way as Android is based on Linux, it doesn’t provide you any of the freedoms that a typical Linux distro does.
That you don’t have admin access to. Good for not fucking it up, bad for freedom.
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.
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.
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.
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

I just taught myself parametric CAD including both solid body and surface modeling in 3 months.

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

Yeah, and I don’t know coding. I need it dumbed down.
