> For games, why not just have a console Why would I want to buy some box for hundreds of euros/dollars that only plays games: - with worse quality - with no mod support for basically any game - requires you to pay extra for basic features (e.g. looking at you, Nintendo, with your "savegames are not on the SD card but locked to the console unless you pay a subscription to back them up online, so if your Switch kicks it, they're gone"; etc etc) - last I heard basically no setting customizability and locked framerates all over the place, like Bloodborne locked at 30fps with no anti-aliasing - exclusivity garbage - almost always controller-only input: shooters and (other) first-person games with controller? No thank you! - the list goes on and on Nowadays, with Proton I can play basically anything I want on Steam on my Ubuntu PC with minimal if any added effort (actually none in recent memory) with no problems, parity in frame-rate and stability to when I was gaming on Windows years ago. Granted, I mostly stay away from the garbage that is regularly barely warmed-up and churned out by those greedy MTX-peddling bloodsuckers known as the "AAA industry".
