[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday (lemmy.world)

How do you know? Are you some kind of wizard?

[–] chakan2 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I am indeed. I'm actually pretty proficient with OSX and Linux...but fuck me...getting games to run is a whole new level of hell. I fucked around with it for a day or two trying to get my gaming laptop to run steam games in Ubuntu...wasn't worth it.

What games? That's a VERY big part of this whole process.
What are the laptop specs? The hardware is also a massive part of it.

Huh. I use Arch (obligatory btw) and iirc I just installed steam and it worked. 4th gen i5 with an rx 480 and things like Elite Dangerous run fine, the problem starts with UE5 but that's a hardware issue.
