Have multiple computers.
My house has Win 11, Win 10, Win 7 and Ubuntu on various machines.
Computers aren't super expensive.
I have multiple computers.
They're running Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux and Linux.
Tap for spoiler
Two Kubuntu desktops, two Proxmox servers, and two Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS.Little bit disappointed that its not
::: spoiler Arch :::
I got that sort of showing off out of my system two decades ago using Gentoo in college.
I have two computers running Arch and two raspberries running Endeavour
Yep. In my house itβs mint, mint, pi, pi, osx, osx, osx, and the work laptop running win 11 because argh.
When I find out a) what distros are best for the older MacBook Pros thatβs ideally not Gnome and b) what the best photography workflow/retouch tools are for Linux then itβll be all except the work machine.
Must be nice..
They are if you want to play any games from the last decade on them. Hell, a top of the line graphics card alone costs as much as a decent used car!
Spoken like somebody who hasn't shopped for a decent used car recently.
"Cash for Clunkers" really fucked us over.
Ok, you got me π
It costs the equivalent of 8 and a half months of rent for me.
That's not what a used car costs, if you want corinthian leather warmed seats and a personal driver! It would cost more like a small political campaign.
Playing any games from the laat decade, lootbox roulette
OK....
Yeah, pick one...
So i just looked it up. The best game of 2015 from a random website is witcher 3 wild hunt. The required setting are 8gb ram, a i7-3770, and a gtx 770. For reference i also looked at mtgs 5 and they are basocally the same requirement. The i7 and the 770 cost around 60-80$cad each on ebay.
Cheers.
Yeah, you can't go by the minimum requirements if you want to actually ENJOY games. With a RTX 3060TI, I got decent fps at 1080p with medium settings last I played TW3.
A GTX 770 might technically be able to run it, but it would struggle mightily to hit 30fps at minimum settings on minimum resolution, let alone with the next gen update and/or any mods..
Btw, since you're gonna be nitpicky enough to choose the very farthest year in my decade range to make your specious argument that gaming PCs are cheap, I might as well be even more nitpicky and point out that TW3 was released on PC in May of 2015 and as such is more than a decade old.
Fallout 4 8gb i7-4790, gtx 780 Arkaham knight 8gb i7-3770 gtx 760 Mad max 8gb i7-3770 gtx 760 Starcraft 2 lotv 4gb i5 gtx 650 Mortal combat x 8gb i7-3770 gtx 660 Soma 8gb i5 gtx 480
Once again these are the best game as the most played then and no these are not the minimum requirement. Enjoyement is subjective, these are the actual requirement.π€·ββοΈ At this point you can believe what you want, your opinion is not invalid because of me. Have a nice day π
I have the most diverse mix of os ever
