It’s surprising that games are getting cheaper compared to the cost of living. If you take into consideration the fact that games are becoming more expensive to produce, I really don’t understand it.

Gaming is way cheaper for me than it was during the ps2 or ps3 era.

I’m sorry to judge you, but I don’t think a 2 year old should be using a computer.

I think it’s important for kids to learn how to really use a computer (instead of just a smartphone), but it’s mostly important to show them they can have fun away from screens.

I understand what you’re saying and I guess it’s true that some people are just finding excuses.

But I think you also lack some empathy towards everyone ´s user’s case.

Personnaly, switching fully to Linux was pretty easy as 99% of my gaming is being done on Playstation.

On my playstation 5 I can know for sure that I can play every game I fancy.

Why am I gaming on consoles? Mostly because it involves no tinkering.

So, despite having gotten rid of Windows a while ago, I would easily give up if I had to tinker to get a game running.

I know that gaming on Linux as never been so easy, but gaming on PC (windows or linux) looks already too difficult for some people with all the requirements.

I might jump to a Linux gaming rig in the future, but I can also understand why some people are choosing an easy path.

Netflix works flawlessly on Fedora. No streaming problem except with Nba basketball.

I also don’t really care about more people switching to Linux, except for the fact that it’s gonna force developers to make their games run on Linux.

There’ll also be some downsides with more people using linux, like more viruses…

In a way, I’d focus more on the fact that it would be cool if more people used Linux on phones instead of ios/Android. That could make it easier to run at one point…

Yeah it really makes me think something has to change.

Especially since an Fps should cost less than open world with lots of characters and locations.

These numbers sound insane. I wonder how it compares to the developpment costs of other big games.

I also wonder how it conpares to the cost of similar games like Killzone 3 or Gears Of War from 15 years ago.

Sorry for you as it sounds really sad.

I hope it’s just temporary and you’ll find a more comfortable balance soon.

A Surface Go 1 has been my daily driver for the last 4 years on Fedora.

I’m mostly using it docked to a USB-C screen but it works fine by itself. I’m also using a keyboard so it’s mostly a PC and not a tablet anymore😅

But I’m really happy with it and it works almost flawlessly.

Yeah but the consoles still have to be cheap enough for people like me not making the jump to PC gaming.

So I’d say they have to be careful about the hardware price compared to a PC.

Nothing beats the ease of use of a console, but I can tell you that if prices starts getting close, I’d pribably buy a PC that I can use for way more than gaming and watching movies.

I loved Mass Effect but I ain’t so enthusiastic about what I’m seeing for now…

Clearly the main protagonist looks a bit cheesy…

I’m running Linux mainly on a Microsoft Surface Go 1 and on a 2012 MacBook Pro occasionaly, so no friendly Linux machines.

On the Surface Go, except getting it to boot on the USB drive and some bluetooth problems everything works flawlessely.

On the MacBook, except a wifi card problem once a year, everything works fine.

I’m running Fedora Workstation and was using Ubuntu before (Fedora suits me better). Maybe you should try one of these distributions before trying a more difficult one.

I’m really encountering less bugs than on Windows at work.

I’m intrigued about this one. I’d still want another Last Of Us though.

If it’s the first time Last Of Us 2 comes out on PC, I don’t see the problem.

It’s a masterpiece and I’d want everyone to enjoy it.

But, now, Naughty Dog really has to do something else than remasters.

I’d love a third Last Of Us, but it could also stop on such a great note.

Thanks for the info 👍

Is it something enabled by default or are you forced to go through a lot of customization to arrive to this result?

I love GNOME and the way you just open everything in a full screen window and just switch workspaces easily.

I find it so much better than just switching windows the way I have to do on Windows 10 at work.

I might be tempted to try to have the same workflow on KDE one day as personnalisation might a bit too limited on GNOME. Does anyone know if you can do it?

It makes me feel so nostalgic.

I still remember trying something alien called Linux on an old Dell Laptop (and also on my Playstation 3) I had inherited from my dad’s company. It was good that everything worked out of the box because I had not technical knowledge. I can’t know for sure but I guess it was a version of Ubuntu between 6.XX and 8.XX.

Then it was Linux all the time, until having a Windows dual boot in the mid-2010 before switching back to Linux fully at the beginning of the 2020’s.

No more Ubuntu though since I fell in love with Fedora.

Clearly, sometimes watching a TV show or a Youtube video is way less demanding than gaming.

I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it’s my reality.

I also know that I really love immersing myself into story driven games, so playing a few minutes before cooking the meal isn’t an option.

Yeah these games are great, although clearly not perfect.

I enjoy them but some buggy technical aspects in the second one are quite distracting.

But you have a lot to explore in an interesting way.

They remind my of the first new God of War but in a Star Wars world.
