Because the Xbox isn’t selling and all Xbox games are also on PC.

Yeah some competition would be great.

I guess their competition ain’t Xbox anymore, but PC gaming.

Depending on what Sony does, they could make the jump to PC.

I wouldn’t need so much to jump to Linux gaming to be honest.

That’s so true and that’s why I’m getting tired of open world games and really trying to space them evenly with a few « normal » games inbetween.

I kind of miss linear games.

Yeah I don’t think it’ll happen soon.

Everything is getting more expensive and it’s the first time ever I’ve seen a price bump for a console released a few years ago.

If only the GAFAMS could stop getting money from taxpayers! It would be a big start and then it would just be the individuals who would decide to support by buying their products or not.

I also have an old shitty computer from Acer with 4gb of RAM lying around.

I feel a bit guilty about not using it, but I’m already sharing my time between my Surface Go 1 (daily driver) and my girlfriend’s 2012 MacBook Pro, so I wouldn’t know what to do with it.

If anyone has an idea, I’m listening 👂

I know and I agree.

Well the other solution for some banks is to send you a card reader. My ecological side had to choose between future e-waste and evil corporations.

You can’t compare turning the volume control knob in your car to writing an SMS on an old keyboard phone

Well with a touch screen you have to look at what you’re doing.

With physical buttons, you don’t have to since they have a shape.

Are you looking at your keyboard while typing on your computer? Now try not looking while typing on your phone 🤓

I hope one day we’ll find a way to get banking apps working through Waydroid or something else. And by we, I mean people who are way more techy than me😅

I feel like it’s the only thing which would prevent a lot of people from using Linux every day on their phones.

Wouldn’t you just be able to create a folder for Xdrive (imaginary alternative to Google drive) in the Virtual Machine and another one in the host.

Since they are both synchronized with Xdrive they would have the same content.

Well we can use computers, consoles and TV’s which are 15 years old everyday and still connected to the internet.

I know it’s not doable right now, but I think we should change the way we consume and get rid of technology.

And I’m not talking about a car that you can use for way more than 15 years reliably.

Thanks for the info. It’s really useful 👍

How can you know how much life an SSD still has? Is it a command in the terminal on Linux? Haven’t found anything in the system information.

My Playstation 3 has had a dead battery for years. Except asking me for the date every time I turn it on and asking me to reconnect to the PSN manually, I don’t see any inconvenience.

I don’t think there would be any advantage in stopping yearly releases.

I think individuals should stop buying new phones often and that you should still be able to use a 15 year old phone just like you can use a 15 year old computer without security risks (with Linux).

That’s what the system or laws should encourage.

Well then I guess Apple Silicon Macs might be on my list when I’ll need something to replace my Surface Go 1 if one day it dies or if Fedora becomes more resource hungry in the future.

Interesting to know, thanks.

I don’t remember if you can replace the battery though. That would also be big bet getting on of these used M Macs if that’s not the case…

Yeah but since they aren’t upgradeable anymore, you’re often kind of limited by the 8gb of RAM they often come with.

It’s also difficult to know how much life an SSD still has in it even if one day I could be tempted by a second hand M Mac and Fedora Asahi…

Oh I’m clearly not getting rid of my Surface Go for the next five years at least since it’s a perfect little computer to hook up to a screen and easily transport when needed.

I was just saying that now I’d be wiser and do more research about Linux compatibility before buying, even second hand 😇
