I’m afraid we will disappoint you further here, cause steam machine is just a PC with SteamOS (which is “just” an Arch Linux with few tweaks\changes). So all those issues described above and their workarounds also applied to steam machine.
It wasn’t an insult. I admire that you guys know that much about computers and software. Its like an alien language to me. Dunno why I was being downvoted for self deprication.
Dunno why I was being downvoted for self deprication.
If it helps, not saying anything about you in particular but:
I think because communities like this hear a lot of this kinda pre-emptive defeatism speak. Like “I’m tired and so I don’t wanna do something that might make me learn.”
It makes them/us sad because we’re like “Uh, we’d be happy to help, it’s not actually that scary?”
With Linux or PCs in general, people will often show up to the community just to say “Thinky thing is too hard”, and declare they’ve already opened their wallets and run to some highly exploitative and expensive corporate “turnkey product” instead.
It’s also “console propaganda” by corporations to spread FUD about PC and now Linux gaming being some alleged huge headache unless you’re a professional computer engineer…And that’s simply not true. They’d just rather you buy a new console every 3 years. :p
But also, downvotes don’t super matter here, so all I can say is carry on with an open mind and don’t be afraid to ask questions, and you never know what you might learn!
Don’t sell yourself short. Try things!
As Bruce Lee once said: “In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail.”
Dunno why the downvotes, but dude, if you ever Google how to do anything on your phone, then you’ve basically done the above already. Id argue a lot of us don’t know what we’re doing, we Google thing, someone has an answer, we do the thing, boop things work.
Just trying to make Netflix work on my Xbox head a bunch of issues where I did the steps above to get it to work. It’s all the same process, no matter what the hardware
