Comment on [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

  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.

        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.

    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.

      Like anything, it’s easy once you know how it works. Knowing how Linux works only takes several years.

      source
  • Eeyore_Syndrome@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    It can be. But people don’t usually read instructions or ReadMEs or Docs first?

    I will never under why not. Did you know:

    • …m.wikipedia.org/…/Literacy_in_the_United_States

    National average Proficient 34% Basic 65%

    That is totes a big ooof and explains a lot about many people. @.@

    • ampersandrew@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      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 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.

        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…

  As a windows main but steam deck user, can confirm Linux being confusing.

  Fucking wine prefixes.

  source

  • cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    To be fair, it’s just because windows is the most used and common desktop operating system and the two OSs are different. People would be confused about windows too if the tables were turned.

        This is true to a large extent. No one goes out of their way to make Linux easy.

    What’s confusing about wine prefixes apart from the fact that wine itself doesn’t come with a graphical interface to manage them? On a Deck, Steam should handle these for you

    source

    • Aceticon@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Calling them “prefixes” is about the total of the confusion. Call them “instances” or even just “boxes” and it’s suddenly clear what they do.

      (The only reason I’m not using “sandbox” is because they don’t really provide sandboxing from a security point of view, only a kind of separate instance with its own configuration but with access to everything via the Z drive)

      Once you figure out what using a different “wine prefix” only really means a separate “Windows” with it’s own config there’s nothing confusing about it.

      source

      • DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Oh I know what prefixes are. Configuring them is the bitch part

      You definitely can. The UI from Steam OS (Linux based) is much better though.

  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.

  source

  • Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    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…

    source

    • aniki@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      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.

      Once again, you just suck at computing.=

      source

      • Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        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.

      the benefits of Bazzite are centred around it having good performance with nVidia / AMD / Intel GPUs.

      RasPi doesnt work with those GPUs, so it makes sense Bazzite wouldn’t support it.

      Compiling means that you take code then run that code trough a program that checks if the code works like intended. After that it will put out a binary/exe/whatever that you can work with further.

      source

      • Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        And I have no idea what that means.

        How do you reboot? You click start>power>reboot.

        I know what that means.

        Ask me to compile a script? Uhhhhh…

      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.

      source

      • Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

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