Yeah I guess so.

That’s why I’ll soon be getting a Steam Deck to sit alongside my Playstation.

It’s my first move towards Linux gaming.

I ain’t so convinced to be honest, but I’m always keeping an eye on their next move.

Playstation 6 will really reveal a lot about their plans.

We might have a fully retrocompatible console with a (optional) disc drive.

We might also have a digital only console with subscriptions.

Ii it’s the later, I’ll be jumping to Linux gaming.

If they do this, I might leave Sony. But I don’t think they would such a thing except if they really remive every physical drive, which would also make me think about leaving.

Clearly the article is about game preservation. Could they do more? Of course but it’s already a start.

Let’s hope the PS6 lets you play games from every generation before.

For image backups I use Clonezilla.

It works well but I don’t know how easily you could take an image from one computer to a different one. I tried once and it didn’t work because of Legacy Bios issues…still I guess it works between two modern computers.

I’d love if something like this was implemented directly in a distribution for ease of use.

I have a Surface Go 1 and I’m really happy with it.

But, I have to admit it was tricky to boot Linux on it and the blutooth doesn’t always work. The cameras too, but I don’t care.

Still, it’s a great device that you can attach to a big screen to get the best of both worlds (easy to transport and useful at home).

And also how do you manage to play so much?

I can only play around 7 hours a week so I’m kind of avoiding long games.

• Floatplane
• Odysee
• Tumble

What I mostly use is peertube, but it only works once you’ve found the creatirs you enjoy (Linux Experiment, Gardiner Bryant and Veronica Explains for me).

Aliens Dark Descent

Got it for free on the PS Plus and a great game so far.

I also enjoyed Aliens Colonial Marines even if it’s less my style.

Well Last Of Us was really well optimized to get every last droplet of performance from the PS4. I guess it’s really different to develop for PC, as these guys are geniuses on consoles.

My experience with Linux sounds way easier than yours even if I agree with a lot of your points.

I never had to save an OS except when I tried to have two DE installed.

Otherwise it’s been pretty smooth except for minor issues related to my hardware.

Haven’t bought my Linux handheld yet, but I still think I’m gonna go with a used LCD steam deck. Still, I’m keeping my eyes open if it appears that the Legion Go S could be a good alternative.

Thanks I’m gonna have a deeper look into this then😇

It would be lovely to let Microsoft subsidize and just put Linux on it as a big fuck you while letting Valve save some money on the R&D required to build a Steam Deck 2

I didn’t know red hat was working for the US government. Can you tell me in what way?

This is a really interesting article!

I’m all for an end to exclusivities. Just let me enjoy whatever I want on whatever platform I want as long as it’s optimized enough.

If Xbox people get Uncharted, I ain’t gonna cry as long as I get Gears of War for instance.

What’s also great is that’s some evil company products like my wifés MacBook Pro 2012 or my Surface Go 1 might get cheaper than other friendlier devices once they aren’t supported anymore.

So, if you’re willing to go through some difficulties, you could get them for cheaper than something from Lenovo.

But yeah I ain’t a fan of these companies…

Yeah I know about it.

It’s great to have this option 👍

Yeah I can’t wait.

I think it’ll be a perfect combo. Playstation 5 for demanding games, Steam Deck for less demanding games and a Surface Go linked to a big screen for administration.
