The Commodore 64 was the highest selling computer model of all time, until around 2020, because of it’s game library.
SteamOS probably has the best easily accessible game library of all time.
The Commodore 64 taught us that games will carry a personal computer to massive popularity and sales, even if the computer has trade-offs.
I agree with others who have commented that there’s better versions of Linux for the average user.
But I don’t think it matters.
A Steam machine with a cheap keyboard and mouse would be hugely popular this Fall, and would make it’s users fall in love with Linux, in spite of issues - because we all love video games.
Lucky. I have my PS3, and I’m having a horrible time finding decent replacement controllers. You can’t use the new DualShocks, and compatible controllers you can buy are built so cheaply they don’t work very well.
The fact N64 games are behind a subscription is what really irks me. I wouldn’t mind paying €5 for Harvest Moon 64 - the way you could buy retro games on the wii - but having to pay yearly, for a bunch of games (many of which I might not even be interested in) that you can’t play anymore once you stop paying? Fuck that
The Analogue 3d will ship soon right? I’m worried I will end up with significantly (more) gray hairs before it does…
I will also take a minute to plug Krikizz and their Everdrives. I have the x6 for the snes, gbc, gba, and x7 for n64. They are an excellent piece of kit once you get a proper sd card. Slava Ukraini!
For anyone who hasn’t discovered it yet…emulation is so great.
I got a little emulation console for £120 (Retroid Pocket 4 pro, see my post history) 2 months ago and haven’t touched my Steam Deck or gaming PC since. Highly recommended.
