It’s going to be interesting to see how this affects market expansion to, as you mentioned, audience that currently don’t have rigs or consoles.

Im in this thread’s op shoes: My PS5 is still rolling and so is my Switch that I’ve bought during COVID. Even my shitty laptop plays the strategy game Remakes that I would rather play there. I’ve got backlogs on all these devices, on PS5 even some physical ones. They could stop making games and I’d have enough to do for a while. So if you’re in that kind of position right now you wouldn’t notice the price increase. However, if you’re now entering the market it’s obviously bad timing, especially in PC gaming.

I just hope they’re not pumping out a new PlayStation anytime soon. Let’s get some more well optimized games there instead.

Well eventually someone has to consume something for all of this to make sense, no?

Also isn’t this more the result of unhinged capitalism without any real workers pushback?

Sounds great! Do you have experience with other Distros and do you think this distro lacks in any area when it comes to use cases other than gaming?

I guess then we agree? Not many people can afford dedicate devices for just one use case, so a PC, in most instances will also be used for other use cases than gaming.

Thanks for the reasons for dedicated gaming distros, I wasn’t aware of those.

Something like this? https://distrochooser.de/

I also don’t get it. How many people realistically only use their desktop PC for gaming and what’s the benefit of using a “gaming” distro if the same can be achieved with minimal amount on a more versatile distro?
