I dunno, maybe I've just had good luck when it comes to hardware compatibility, but networking has always just worked for me. Along with audio and pretty much everything else.

Getting the apps you want installed is the same thing you'd have to go through with a fresh Windows install too. And I think Linux package management is way easier once you do the initial install. So I would argue that Linux is actually better in that regard.

So Gabe made the Steam Machine with super high margins, sold out, and then went back in time to buy a yacht last year?

You do realize that they just started selling this device, so any wealth he may have had last year is completely unrelated.

Linux isn't hard to set up anymore

So I guess no, you don't care to share

Who upvotes this shit

I guess people here just can't grasp why this is different when it's the federal fucking government and not their shitty IT job

Profit margins on consoles are razor thin already, and that's before the skyrocketing price of components.

I'm sorry if that means your mom can't afford to get it for your birthday now, but it is what it is unfortunately.

Yeah that's annoying and all, but it doesn't fundamentally change how capitalism works.

For like $50-$100 cheaper. And they all ignored the small form factor which could easily cost that.

Like they did with EVs in the US?

Republicans would probably make sure that can't happen.
