I don’t quite understand the criticism. It’s not gonna be top of the line, but it’s more than enough to replace my dying laptop from 2015 that I pretty much only ever use like a desktop anyway. And I can save myself the time and effort of picking parts, building, and dealing with shit not working as expected.
sure, but we need to acknowledge that some blue-pills are happy and content with their OS of choice. You can try and convince them that they can run their favourite games with Linux, they simply do not care.
Yeah, and when it comes to my phone, I’m the same way. Sure, I could get Graphene OS, but I just don’t see enough benefit to go through the headache of making the change and probably finding issues to troubleshoot. I’m not disliking my current experience, so why look for a fix? These people feel this way about Windows. They’re not giving Steam Machine a chance unless there’s an incentive, and it’s not gonna be significantly cheaper, so they’ll skip it.
But I think there will be enough people buying this that the industry will feel a shift. Enough people are pissed at Microsoft and/or modern console experiences and/or need to upgrade their system.
