Edit: I meant to say a GAMING PC in the title
I feel like im in such the minority here, which isn’t bad. I’ve never had a “gaming” PC. I saved up and bought a MacBook laptop for college years ago. The only time I would game on a PC would have been coolmath.com back in the computer lab days. I’ve been a console boy my whole life. I play on PS only, but wanted something to emulate old games and play some AAA titles portablely. I picked up a Switch OLED about 7 months ago, but between the high cost of nearly all games and how restrictive it feels, I wanted more.
All of this is so foreign to me. I’ve played emulators on my phone before, but that’s about my extent of knowledge. Getting a SD and seeing things mentioned like “Proton” and “TDP” sounds like a foreign language to me, lol.
I’m learning, slowly. I’ve got Emudeck installed and I’ve got a decent understand of Desktop mode. I’m not even 30 but I sound like an old man. How many of you are like me? I’ve learned many things only due to owning a Steam Deck!
I’m on the opposite side of the coin, had a PC Gamer my whole teenage days/adulthood. But I never had a console until I bought a PSP some years ago, a Switch two years ago, and this year I traded my switch for the steam deck. I just love it is easy to just install and play stuff without any headaches. The steam deck offers less of this experience, but compared to a usual PC Gamer, still way more easy than playing on a normal PC.
But if you want help with technical stuff, you can always ask for help here, I think you know what proton and wine is by now
