ITT: people that don’t understand that more OEMs ditching Windows for Linux on flagship gaming handhelds is an incredibly good thing for Linux gaming overall, and would instead rather make the same joke over and over about ink cartridges.
My take is that Windows experience sucks so bad that even HP won’t touch it. But “HP sucks” is a very valid point.
This can go one of two ways:
- More devices running SteamOS/Linux means more support, and helps Linux
- HP manages to make a device so bad that it makes SteamOS look bad, and hurts Linux
The second way shouldn’t even be possible, but never underestimate HP’s ability to make something worse than you thought possible.
What a coincidence, so does HP
“Your printer is low on magenta.”
“Fuck you, HP, I’m not printing. I’m playing my Steamdeck”
“Not without replacing the magenta ink cartridge in your printer, you’re not”
drink magenta verification can to continue.
Fuck HP forever
Someone should tell him they already made a non-Windows handheld experience that doesn’t suck! It’s called the Steam Deck, and it doesn’t nickel and dime you like HP products do…
Competition is good… Let them compete with the steam deck. Competition is good, even if it just highlights how much better the existing option is
Lack of competition is why capitalism fails - competition is literally the only good part of capitalism. Cheer it on when it actually happens
