15 years old you probably wouldn’t be here on lemmy

so much “user friendly”

Windows, google, photoshop now all comes with AI. Are you going to avoid any product made with these? AI isn’t just a tool to generate a game with a click, it can offer all sort of feedback and tools, for example it could be used to change the color of a box without having to do it manually. Unless the whole process is documented you will not be able to tell if AI has been used or not.

Gabe Newell is infamously libertarian.

So libertarian he become a billionare thanks to a platform where you don’t own any of your games.

Valve ceo just added a $500 million mega yacht to his fleet. Valve true benefit is that thanks to window they managed to build a monopoly on videogames distribuition and that their customers are kids addicted to videogames.

I don’t love much how people fall from valve marketing. Not owning any game i buy would piss me off

So, how does this dynamic shift?

One key point is to break conformism. People were and are brainwashed to hate “communism” on top of being brainwashed to conform to society. To hate the enemy is a recurring theme in the system, in our case it takes the form of communists but it can be anything else.

With this machine you are stuck to a specific case. With a modular setup you can chose the case you want between thousand.

Fractal design terra has a similar design and can fit a big GPU

what matters is that right now linux is more user friendly than windows.

Linux has not been anywhere near user friendly enough over the past 2 decades to be remotely usable by normal people. Not a chance.

This hasn’t been true for at last a decade. Go ahead and install linux and windows and let us know which one is easier to get and install.

You are wrong daikiki. AI is a tech that is going to change everything, it’s the “computers” of this era, they are investing in a technology that will boom. Even if you don’t think it will they will push it, see what google is doing, they rigged up the search results and now you necessarily have to use AI to get good answers, it’s also there by default so you can’t really avoid it.

Had valve not made its own linux based OS they would had to release this machine with windows preinstalled. Microsoft is valve competitor.

Most people don’t really use windowns because they like it but because of the third parties applications that only run on windows, so yea you can point the finger at third parties.

You are on lemmy, a decentralized and open source platform that doesn’t share much with steam or corporations like valve. If you understand the difference between lemmy and steam perhaps what i’m saying will make more sense to you.

Sounds like it’s just a PC with steam OS pre-installed.

And soldered parts that you cannot swap easily (not only hardware problems, proprietary firmwares can cause compatibility problems too)

Many people have no interest in replacing PC parts

Many people have no interest in replacing their car tires and they just want to drive but i’m sure they would be really pissed if once a tire bursts they would have to replace the car.

Don’t get confused, not all PCs are sold with windows preinstalled or require microsoft software to work.

And yet, with Proton they’re one of the biggest contributors to Linux adoption in the past several years.

They are also routing million of users through a proprietary third software launcher. Don’t forget that steam was built on and fueled the windows ecosystem for two decades.

if you have time to play videogames on one of these you also have the time to build your own pc. You don’t have to anyway, you can pay someone to build it for you, the price would be about the same.

The steam deck is a portable device, soldering components and custom parts in devices that need to be small it’s more justifiable because it can save space. This box on the other hand is a SFF pc that has to be small only for marketing reasons.
