Comment on PlayStation keeps reminding us why digital ownership sucks
Toribor@corndog.social 1 year agoI think the big cost savings on PC come from a lack of subscription fees. Plus a huge variety of storefronts to choose from so prices tend to be low. Games get cheap fast if you wait a little bit.
It’s pretty easy to match console performance with a budget PC, but it definitely isn’t as easy. I can’t wait until I can pause/resume games on my desktop like I can on the Steam Deck. Huge quality of life feature.

Auto run steam at startup and with big picture mode?

On the Steam Deck, ‘game mode’ runs in exclusive fullscreen mode without the KDE desktop environment. I’m not an expert, but I think the gamemode desktop environment is specifically tuned to the Steam Deck hardware and isn’t something that you can just replicate on your own hardware.
I really want to test this though, I’d love to build a ‘Steam Console’ running on standard x86 desktop hardware running Linux that launches directly into Steam.
