It’s going to be interesting to see how this affects market expansion to, as you mentioned, audience that currently don’t have rigs or consoles.

Im in this thread’s op shoes: My PS5 is still rolling and so is my Switch that I’ve bought during COVID. Even my shitty laptop plays the strategy game Remakes that I would rather play there. I’ve got backlogs on all these devices, on PS5 even some physical ones. They could stop making games and I’d have enough to do for a while. So if you’re in that kind of position right now you wouldn’t notice the price increase. However, if you’re now entering the market it’s obviously bad timing, especially in PC gaming.

I just hope they’re not pumping out a new PlayStation anytime soon. Let’s get some more well optimized games there instead.

Well eventually someone has to consume something for all of this to make sense, no?

Also isn’t this more the result of unhinged capitalism without any real workers pushback?

Agree that for people without a charging box at home the advantages might be reduced atm, but having more home owners buy EVs, requesting better charging infrastructure and potentially reduce costs in public charging stations could also pave the way for more acceptance.

To your point regarding providers at charging stations: I’ve only seen the situation in Germany and it’s indeed very inconvenient and I don’t understand how we ended up in that situation. Also I don’t understand how the prices are that much higher than electricity at home? Why can’t you just not use your credit card for payment?

It’s going to be interesting to see how their new EVs to be released this year are going to perform. I think something like the T-Cross ID and smaller EVs could really hit a nerve if pricing is OK and the issues around gas prices would prolong throughout this year. I hope people get fed up and start to see advantages of EV and every new model, no matter which brand, could help with this.

Sounds great! Do you have experience with other Distros and do you think this distro lacks in any area when it comes to use cases other than gaming?

I guess then we agree? Not many people can afford dedicate devices for just one use case, so a PC, in most instances will also be used for other use cases than gaming.

Thanks for the reasons for dedicated gaming distros, I wasn’t aware of those.

Something like this? https://distrochooser.de/

I also don’t get it. How many people realistically only use their desktop PC for gaming and what’s the benefit of using a “gaming” distro if the same can be achieved with minimal amount on a more versatile distro?

You won’t like Vietnamese coffee then. I’m open to it, but in very small amounts. It’s very sweet and they add lots of condensed milk. In the end, it doesn’t really resemble coffee that much.
