Windows feels like a bit of a sinking ship. Not entirely, and it’s slow, but the feeling is present and consistent. I don’t want to keep having to rip apart the OS to remove shit they shoved onto my hardware without my consent. I just want an easyish experience that I can do my shit on, and they aren’t really interested in that it feels.
In comparison to that, alternatives like steam os sounds great to your average user.
I can confirm Balatro stole straight up a week of my time at once, high recommend.
Fights in tight places is pretty good, though I think works better with a mouse.
Tunic is actually amazing, framerate bottoms out a touch but that’s mostly me refusing to turn the settings down.
I’ve also been playing Prince of Persia 2008, mostly to see if I could. You can enable gyro to mouse and you get up getting this neat 3d effect if you set it up right.
I’ve only had mine for like a month but yeah, so far everything has run out of the box.
Parental love and approval. I’ve learned to live without it, but there’s a hole there certainly.
