Comment on [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

  Consoles are easy, and I love my PS5 for chilling and playing games, and I love my Linux PC for its power and freedom from corporate bullshit.

  Wait till you realize PlayStation is just Free BSD. 😏

    That you don’t have admin access to. Good for not fucking it up, bad for freedom.

      It’s remarkably difficult to really fuck up freebsd. On Linux, getting boots to fail is easy. FreeBSD is quite a bit more robust in that regard, as the base image isn’t updated piecemeal.

      I’d easily make the trade of linux standard being impossible to fuck up without rooting it, if it meant it became as easy to run as a commercial OS.

        You just described Android.

    Might be based on FreeBSD, but much in the same way as Android is based on Linux, it doesn’t provide you any of the freedoms that a typical Linux distro does.

  Fisher price makes some good toys if you want something easy to play with.

    Same to your “Linux is easy” comment then.

      I’m talking about an operating system, not a toy. Playstation is a toy, like a tonka truck, or a tricycle. Your rebuttal is bad.

        Sometimes people want to play with a toy and not scream at their OS because of… millions of possible reasons.

        Cool, but you’re in a gaming community in a post about the Playstation, so I’m not really sure why you’re talking about operating systems and behaving like this when someone talks about the console the post is about.

    You are the reason why people think Linux fans are obnoxious twats.
