@Ehvis

Also I suppose have to ask, who's responsibility is it? Epic or the game developers, maybe abit of both? There's definitely some UE4 games that don't have shader stutter if the developers make it a priority, or at least minimise it

And even if shader stutter wasn't a thing, there's still things like traversal stutter and the constant streaming of assets that has been a hindrance too, bring back loading screens!

Already have sims 1 and 2 installed and running fine so don't see need for me to buy this

My pc is getting old (like me) so looks like I'll be playing at 1080p low

Hope they eventually remove denuvo like they have done in the past, and I wonder if this will get an sdk like Eternal?

Intel and NVIDIA drivers holding back a public SteamOS release, Valve not trying to compete with Windows

Even with proprietary drivers steam big picture mode is unusable for me on my main nvidia desktop

I never considered steamos or linux in general as a way to "kill" windows but rather give people the choice, and I for one have loved embracing the open-source, community driven ideology behind Linux, where-as windows hasn't done anything innovative or good since like Windows 7

I've been having a great time with batocera, turning old office pcs and the like into little retro gaming consoles

Things like sinden lightgun and racing wheels are pretty plug and play too

Both this and pilet look insanely cool

I do like the discussions around how cool it'd be to have a little open source linux phone

Had my midrange phone about 6 years and needing an upgrade, mostly because it's battery is starting to go but honestly would love something more open-source

Same reason I never bought a tablet, not a big fan of how closed down they are, so I'd love a little open source tablet like the pilet as well
