They have been for years.

I doubt it.

Microsoft isnt making it, Asus is.

Compared to the usual game console os windows offers a A LOT of freedom, just because you personally hate windows does not make the statement any less true.

Plus if it runs windows then it will also run linux. So do like you would with every other pc on the market and install what you want.

Ah yes, in that context I would agree.

“powerful” LOL it’s a turd

but yeah my current setup also happens to play games and adding storage is much easier cuz I can just throw whatever in there instead of making sure the drive conforms to some arbitrary crap.

I have an old dell power edge that I got from work that I used as a NAS for a while, it sucked down more juice than the old PC I was using and was stupidly loud all the time. I ended up transferring everything back to my old PC and now that turd just sits there waiting for someone else to be dumb enough to buy it from me. I wouldn’t waste the money personally.

Well I guess I’ll never buy another Samsung.

Good, fuck AI.

P.S fuck google also.

Is there a reason you don’t want to use an old PC and install a giant drive or series of mid sized drives? You could keep some e-waste out of the bin that way and save tons of money not buying hardware you might not even need.

For what its worth some LG tvs have a remote that works as an air mouse and can even be used as a mouse on your pc when you cast to the screen. It doesnt have a keyboard however.

I’ve always been of the opinion that apps are almost always useless because there is usually a way to do it through a web browser and if there isn’t I don’t need it. And its usually better because then I have more control (in firefox anyway).

For example the youtube app is entirely unuseable but if I open firefox and use ublock and no script then suddenly I can actually use the website.

This trend of being actively hostile toward your user base is so confusing to me.

I wouldn’t disagree that firefox is about to get enshittififed but I hope its not true.

Well no one likes or asked for pocket as far as I know so good riddance.

Have you heard of Donald trump? He was the CEO of lots of failed businesses.

I have had better luck with game compatibility using proton on linux than I had with win 11

Yeah. Its a gross feeling isn’t it?

I hate that you are right.

“stuck” more like happy to not have to deal with the last 15-ish years of microsoft ruining everything they previously excelled at.
