Oh yeah that could be a whole different thread on here. I use Windows and Linux, I would love it if I could rid myself of Windows completely but Linux is not there, and I kinda doubt it will even be a total replacement for Windows. It’s worth remembering Windows didn’t become the monolith that it is for no reason, people wanted 1 application that could easily do… Well everything without needing a lot of manual fine-tuning. That ain’t Linux.
windows became a monolith because of sabotage. and then! the network effect. microsoft is actively trying to sabotage linux, and they’ve got internal documents stating that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_documents (the actual link is not loading)
microsoft doing monopolistic anticompetitive FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) practices dates back at least to 1992: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARD_code (yeah... i found out about this from a youtube video.....)
and when was clippit (colloquially, clippy) introduced? <drumroll>… 1996. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_97)
thus, using a clippy pfp is stupid. q.e.d.
i don’t even PC game anymore because it’s just not worth the headache. i also work on a PCs all day at work, so I want to sit on my couch to play games and not sit in front of a monitor for more hours of the day.
And the reply is always ‘you are a retard then’. Yes, clearly, I am.
Right, that’s why when I tried to play fallout last year it kept crashing and crashing and throwing errors and fucking up, and i had to download custom drivers and edit files to get it to be somewhat more stable.
but when i bought it on my playstation 5 it didn’t do that.
weird how that works. also did similar stuff when I tried to replay xcom. so i just gave up. or how i have to give my nephews tech support every other month for their gaming pcs where games won’t load or play or frequently crash.
but please tell me how I’m wrong and pc gaming is perfect and wonderful and clearly I’m an idiot if I have a bad experience with games not working.
The strength of a gaming console is that it’s a known quantity. My Switch will work the exact same as your Switch. Game devs can build and test with confidence.
This isn’t true for PC; there’s a huge variability factor. My PC is almost guaranteed to be different than your PC. The unfortunate truth is that you’re correct: console games are more reliable, and they always will be. There is no world where that isn’t the case. If you just want to play games without any friction, a console is the better choice.
People here don’t want to hear that though and will lynch you 😂
yeah, i like console gaming because it just works. and i am too old too waste time trying to get games to work.
on rare occasional a console game will crash, but it’s like a handful of times year. on PC i’m lucky to play for a few hours without a crash, or multiple crashes.

There’s no headache with PC gaming, this isn’t the 90s. You can plug a computer into a tv and use a controller.

To be fair Fallout is a special stupid idiot that doesn’t work on PC smoothly no matter what.
and i never bought into the pc gaming masterrace nonsense.
