Windows 11 sucks. Find a linux distro that you like and is easy to use.
While I agree, that's a lot to ask of a PC gamer, let alone a console gamer. Maybe if SteamOS starts supporting hardware better, that could be a good distro we could point console gamers towards.
Mint is mint
Which will lead then straight to Linux because Linux is free, fast, and awesome and doesn't spy in you or serve you ads while windows 11...
Fuck big tech
Nothing wrong with steam os. Linux is the future. Fuck consoles, fuck Microslop.
Windows 11 PCs... No... No don't. That's equally wrong.
Fck windows 11 and Micro$lop.
dont do it. dont do the windows. do the linux. be nicer to yourself. youll thank yourself later.
Suddenly the Steam box isn't that bad anymore...
If I'm not gonna own what I buy, then I trust steam and an infinitely larger catalogue of games over Sony and their entire history of proprietary connectors and bullshit.
Obviously building you own and running steam os is better and cheaper, but for normies who want a console experience and don't want to assemble their own PC, manage cables, or know about bandwidth settings for your ram in the bios, the steam machine is starting to look appealing
Hey! If you're used to not being able to play some games, use Linux. It is much more efficient which you can use to avoid upgrades, more powerful cards, etc.
And what does it help to turn to microslop? They will just bury you in subscriptions and data steal?
It's a Windows news site
I'm amazed there's an audience for a windows site. Linux? Yeah, give me more. Mac, I guess. But windows? I haven't heard any news that aren't bad since forever.
Lemmy is overwhelmingly anti Windows
I'm doing my part!
I just want things to work.
Yes. Exactly! That's why we're so die hard into Linux, here.
That doesn't explain arch users
Just get a Linux distro and throw some PC parts together and you'll be better off with that then W11 or shitbox.
DDR3 should still be fairly ok for a starter PC.
Plenty of good old games run very well on Linux and older hardware.
My gaming machine is still using DDR3. Never really saw a reason to upgrade, games mostly became more demanding in the graphics-sector, even the first-gen i5 is doing reasonably well with most games, even newer ones. And if not, I blame badly optimized games.
RAM speed usually is the last thing you have to worry about in games.
People... Windows and Xbox is not an improvement (it can be even worse). Build a Linux Gaming PC, that's true freedom.
PC is PC.
For the first step it doeant matter what OS you run.
Your issue is the second step.
True. But anyone installing on a bare metal build should seriously consider installing Linux, today. The set of games that actually run simpler on Windows is getting thinner every year.
There's mostly fear driving the decision, and most people fear Linux more than they need to, and don't fear Microsoft's apathy toward their custom PC build outcomes as much as they should.
With all the license unlock bullshit, my last bare metal Windows install was a bigger pain in the ass than any of my recent bare metal Linux installs.
