Agreed. It’s mostly an ad delivery platform these days. Can be somewhat OK if you have a DNS based blocker but hard to block built in spyware.

Microsoft showed their hand and for some it was the last straw. It might not come to non-copilot pcs (for now) but they showed users they are OK with turning the OS into spyware.

100% switched because of Recall. Been a Linux user on and off for 20 years, windows was my daily driver for the past 5 or so (windows 10 was OK in my mind). Once Recall was announced, I bounced back to Linux. Having Steam popularize gaming on Linux has helped a ton

Been a Linux user for 20+ years but windows WAS my daily driver the last 5 of them… got fed up with all the ads and plans for the screen recording and pulled the plug. Linux 100% for me again!

This looks nice. Love the yellow/gold here, an underused color!

rcm will do symlinking for you and is pretty awesome. Been using it for this purpose for years

Have a link to that wallpaper? Reminds me of a place I used to live.

Forgot all about LunaSea, thanks for the reminder!

Thanks all for the insightful recommendations.

I’ve decided to hold on Cyberpunk for now and definitely pick up Control (thanks @trankillity)!

Probably will also pick up GTA5 just to drive around in and putz around.

I have Skyrim as an RPG that I only played a few hours on, so probably skipping on VII remake for now.

And last, probably picking up No Mans Sky.

Cheers!

I’ll look at XII. Mostly was intrigued by the remake because I played the original and loved it back when it originally came out. I know the remake is only part of the whole but wanted to re-experience the story again.

 

I am seriously considering picking the game up on steam sale to play on my deck. I haven’t played a “modern” game in a great many years, but love the look of this one.

From everything I see, it looks like it plays a lot like Grand Theft Auto, which is fine in my mind. I’ve spent many a good play through on GTA in the past just messing around.

Oh wow, Control looks so unique and atmospheric. Thanks so much for the recommendation!

 

Hey all,

Old time gamer here, haven’t played anything recent in years. Picked up a deck with the sale and looking to pick up a “premium” game. So far I am going back and forth between

  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • FFVII Remake
  • No Man’s Sky

I am not a huge fan of shooters and I know these three have more of an action gameplay style. I have Skyrim which I have played a tad on PC and could see myself playing that on the deck.

What I’d like is something I can pick up and play for an hour or less and put back down for a few days.

Things I’d love in a game

  • some level of replayability / open world content to mess around with
  • good story
  • good ambience / music

And obviously something that plays decent on the deck.

I am leaning on Cyberpunk even with reading and watching mixed-to-negative reviews.
