    Not to rain on the anti windows parade, but he has to install windows to play Tarkov. You cant play it on linux due to anticheat.

      Although I understand this on a factual level, I still question the set of priorities that leads someone to install an operating system in order to run a single game.

      Also, his wife must’ve been enthused to see he brought all his “performance upgrades.”

    I like how everyone is giving shit to the dude for “not being there for his wife,” because I remember the OG post from Reddit where OP and his wife were explaining that it was cool, she said it was okay and even encouraged it, and was unconscious most of the time during recovery anyway.

    I don’t even think the windows on steam deck part is even from the OG, but maybe I just missed that in the comments.

      I can see bringing the Deck, like you might be sitting there for at least 24 hours, you don’t need to be sitting there holding their hand the whole time…

      But the keyboard? The mouse? The HEADPHONES? It’s not like you’re in an extended stay. You’re getting that baby out and going. You don’t need all that.

      Right… I hope this isn’t the begining of a shitty broken home and the birth of lost soul.

    The kind of guy who installs Windows on his steam deck is the same kind of guy who won’t let his wife get an epidural.

    If only there was a device that combined the Steam Deck with a keyboard and a 14" monitor. Like a Steam Deck that is designed to sit on top of your lap…

    I’m no audio expert, but I feel like “audiophile headphones” and “headphones you can power directly from a steam deck” are probably mutually exclusive

      I use planar headphones which are not too bad to drive, but most of the time I need some extra power. The deck actually is capable of blowing my eardrums out still

      Not necessarily, some high-end headphones manage to have a low resistance and high sensitivity combo and are easy to “drive” without a dedicated amp.
