Build a pc.
Install linux.
Get confused by linux.
What the fuck does linux want from me???
Rip hair out.
Be bald.
People confuse you for skinhead.
Wear wig.
Wig blows off on sunny windy day.
Lose wig.
Be sad.
This is absurd. Where's the step to grow a beard and become a hobbit?

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.
Wait till you realize PlayStation is just Free BSD. 😏
Streaming with Sunshine 🌞 and Moonlight 🌙 is really spiffy too.
Playing games on my deck in bed with the power of my beefy PC 🧠🤯.
Plugging my Steam Library Micro SD Card from my deck <=> PC is as easy as a using Switch™ carts.
That you don't have admin access to. Good for not fucking it up, bad for freedom.
I'd easily make the trade of linux standard being impossible to fuck up without rooting it, if it meant it became as easy to run as a commercial OS.
It’s remarkably difficult to really fuck up freebsd. On Linux, getting boots to fail is easy. FreeBSD is quite a bit more robust in that regard, as the base image isn’t updated piecemeal.
So? Fisher price makes some good toys if you want something easy to play with.
Same to your "Linux is easy" comment then.
I'm talking about an operating system, not a toy. Playstation is a toy, like a tonka truck, or a tricycle. Your rebuttal is bad.
Cool, but you're in a gaming community in a post about the Playstation, so I'm not really sure why you're talking about operating systems and behaving like this when someone talks about the console the post is about.
You are the reason why people think Linux fans are obnoxious twats.
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.
It can be. But people don't usually read instructions or ReadMEs or Docs first?
I will never understand why not. Did you know:
National average Proficient 34% Basic 65%That is totes a big ooof and explains a lot about many people. @.@
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.
May I introduce you to republicans, and the bible belt?
And Windows is hard
Show me your hair.
Use rats as wig
"Honey, don't look"
As a windows main but steam deck user, can confirm Linux being confusing.
Fucking wine prefixes.
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.
Also the Linux community is toxic and overcomplicates things for no reason.
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
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 that using a different "wine prefix" only really means a separate "Windows" with it's own config and file structure there's nothing confusing about it.
I was led to believe you could put windows on steamdeck? Am I wrong? I don't have one.
You definitely can. The UI from Steam OS (Linux based) is much better though.
You could, but you wouldn't
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.
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.......
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, press enter on the first option, wait a few hours.
Once again, you just suck at computing. Especially if after 15 years you still can't Bash. In 15 years I built a career as a senior linux engineer.
The Super Notendo -- https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/22628904
I just taught myself parametric CAD including both solid body and surface modeling in 3 months.
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.
Some of us like linux and want to deal with it...
Boy that's a lot of work just to play some old crap from more than 30 years ago
You forgot the part where you get angry, because your hdmi doesnt work with linux
