[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 (lemmy.world)

PS5 pro is a waste of money, but also lots of people don't want a PC to play games. Two things can be true at the same time!

Yep.

I'm a die hard Linux nerd, but I would still Rather have a console.

But what I really want is a console that just runs Linux so I can keep it updated and fix minor issues without all the bullshit.

i'd argue that a console running linux would be a PC, even if it's plugged into your living room tv

I would argue that a PC without a keyboard, dedicated to gaming is a console.

Was the PS3 fat a PC? It ran Linux.

i'd differentiate it by the kind of it's ui. linux will still feel like a desktop operating system, made for mouse and keyboard, whereas the console has a controller friendly interface. probably not much of an issue if you boot into steam directly through.

genuinely curious, is there any linux DE that is optimised for being connected to a tv and controlled by remote/gamepad from the couch?
