running Debian as a server (so without running the display environment constantly)

Wait, is this a Debian-exclusive feature?

Guess I need to take a second stab at setting up my own server

You can make Linux look like Windows XP, 7, or 10. Here’s a guide

With all the effort it takes to figure that out on Windows (yes, even with a guide to follow), it literally would be easier to switch to Linux.

Inb4 needing to pick a distro. Here’s a simple flowchart:

• Do you game with brand new graphics cards and/or brand new games that need driver updates?
  • Do you want to tinker?
    • If yes, use CachyOS
    • If no, use Bazzite
• If you don’t buy graphics cards or high end games right after release, or don’t game at all
  • Use Linux Mint

Nazis aren’t people

The mistake with the Nuremburg Trials is that we didn’t hang enough Nazis

It definitely costs $100 or so more than commodity parts with equal performance.

Not that weird tbh. System builders (that aren’t complete scams) usually charge $50-100 in assembly fees

And Kotaku should write their own articles instead of ripping off Gamers Nexus

Thanks, I’m paraphrasing Gamers Nexus’s review

No, because Amazon and Microslop got to where they are by fucking everyone else over

Valve’s backing Linux to bring it to desktop users, particularly for gaming. That’s a big threat to Sony, Microslop, and Nintendo’s ecosystems

an overpriced controller

Premium controllers often cost $200+.

a 1200 dollar prebuilt is, generally, a much better deal than a steam machine

Highly depends on the form factor. SFF costs a lot more

The haptic feedback isn’t as good as a physical stick though. It’s harder to know where the center is

I believe that’s due to whatever ad services the creators use

It’s based on IP, so if you use a VPN when you download episodes the commercials will be based on where your server is located

I’m an engineer and all my coworkers got laptop “upgrades” at work. They’ve all had similar experiences. Everything is just slower on them.

For some reason I wasn’t included in the same round of upgrades, and I’m happy for it.

There’s already monopoly lawsuits going on right now. Subsidizing the Steam Machine could easily be used against them in those cases as evidence of monopolistic behavior
