That’s fair! With our setup I can sit in a chair, or lay back in bed and still play games! If we didn’t have that option, I’d probably have a use-case for a deck hahaha
It’s tough for me to go back to 100FPS or less after a long time playing at 165hz!
Hell yeah! That sounds dope! I have computers connected to all of my screen in our house, but they’re moooostly running Windows 10. Just a couple pis running Linux… the GUI on a Pi5 is laggy but it runs 1080p YouTube perfectly so that’s fine. I should start converting my machines to Linux… my main game machines I think I’ll keep on Windows 10 until Linux is closer to 100% compatibility. It’s getting there!
Thank you! I think I’m gonna ride Win10 until it’s Jo longer supported, then go Win10 LTSC IoT until I’m comfortable switching all of my machines to Pop!. I play a VERY SPECIFIC 20+ year old Half Life mod with some folks that my Software Engineer friend has been unable to get working on Linux in any manner… so unfortunately I am tied to Windows. I could dual-boot but I don’t want any boot loader headaches, and our main machines exist pretty much solely to play games hahaha. I do debloat with OOSU10, I’ll scope Titus’s tool!
You’re SO not wrong about TVs being a complete privacy nightmare. No chance I’m letting em have ny WiFi info!
Excellent advice, thank you!
