If all you do on the pc is play games(as you would on a console) it won’t break (usually) but that’s what debug lights are for diagnosis made easy and then you rma the broken part or buy a new part if the ps5 breaks its basically landfill and you’re out another 450 (if your console is not still under warranty). Forgive my bad grammar, one the alcohol starts the grammar stops
to add on to what you said: At least 80$ per year currently for PS+ essentials(online only basically). if you calculate that out 5 years (i’m gonna give the ps5 the benefit of the doubt here and assume you want to upgrade after that time) thats another 400$ on top of the 450$ you paid for the console. i could build a very well kitted out PC that blows the PS5 out of the water for 850$ and it would last longer and have an upgrade path that could extend its life an additional couple years. this doesn’t even factor in the overall cost savings of games being generally less expensive on PC.
I haven’t looked closely at all the bells and whistles of SteamOS. I know it has proton for running games, but how well does it run random software executables i know there’s still a lot of barriers for cross platform interoperability, but I’m not sure how thin those barriers are.
I wonder how well a modern day implementation of this would work considering all the new tools and enhancements to the older tools. I would ditch windows fast if i could just run a Windows binary “native” if a Linux version wasn’t available.
I keep one on my keychain, never know when you need to get a burner.
Get mad! Make life take the lemons back!
