I am doing my part!
(arch btw :P)
show fastfetch or get out da here! 😂
as you wish :P
beautiful 😍
I mean yeah? As a PC gamer what are you supposed to use? Fucking… Windows?
I know some people still manage to tolerate paying Microsoft for an operating system that serves popup ads, popunder ads, inline ads, bundles spyware, bundles adware, bundles malware, and literally spies on you. They either manage to filter all that out or tolerate having to spend time turning it off or mitigating it every two weeks/months when an update introduces more of it.
They angrily cope. They say things like “what is so hard about just clicking Close / Ignore on a few buttons!?” when this is pointed out. But they grow fewer and fewer.
Macs are mostly valid but expensive. If work doesn’t pay for one, or you have another big hobby that makes Mac a necessity, buying one for gaming is a bit silly.
Apple actually have shown that they can make cheap computers like Macbook Neo, but I doubt they want to make computers that allow freedom of Linux, hell even Windows. Gaming is also non-existent on Macbooks, because for some they want to use their own graphics API (Metal), although some kind of a translation layer (MoltenVK) exists, but I have no idea how good it is.
fyi: you can install linux on a mac
Sure, but don’t they work just on M1’s mostly, and not everything works?
m1/m2 currently. m3/4 in the works so yeah not the latest release cycles
most things work tho, im using it as daily driver for software engineering just fine
Linux passing 5% is a major milestone, good to see Linux thrive. 👍 😎
Part of the jump at least appears to be explained by Valve correcting again the Steam China numbers
I wonder why there needs to be special correction for China, but I’m guessing it’s about some sort of bots probably farm bots.
If anyone knows more please share your knowledge.I have a Legion Go and I wiped Windows 11 off the damned thing so fast and installed Bazzite.
You have to wonder what these numbers will look like in about 6 months after the Neo’s well received release.
I feel like I’m part of the minority when I say I’m highly excited for things like M5, APUs, smaller power efficient machines that barely draw power while doing boring work tasks yet can handle proper gaming loads (waiting for the last part still).
As soon as one of these checks all my boxes I’m selling my massive PC for it.
Yep, I’d really like to stick to SoCs in the future as well. I’m holding off on hardware purchases until 2027 when AMD’s RDNA 5 will be available. Apple Silicon is amazing, but I’d like a less expensive alternative that has broader Linux distro support. RDNA 5 will bring true RTX cores, which is critical for my Blender rendering workloads, and is the main reason why I couldn’t justify AMD GPUs in the past for anything other than a dedicated gaming machine (e.g., Steam Deck).
Good luck getting any new PC in 2027 for a decent price LMAO
Oh, don’t worry. The bubble is going to pop <checks watch> aaaaany minute now.
It’s not popping until Trump is out of office and that’s not until at least 2028.
Though he does provide a lot of fuel for it, the bubble exists independently of the grifter-in-chief. Also, blot clots are a thing.
I’m in there!
I’m glad back a few years ago I planned my PC for Linux. AMD everything. It’s been a mostly smooth operation.
Gaming on Mac is infuriating. I brought my MacBook air to my parents last time thinking I could use it to play left 4 dead with mom. Which used to run at 120 fps. Now it doesn’t run at all. Lol
That’s because l4d runs on x86 and new macs are arm chips.
