For those wondering why PC gaming on Linux is the best both all worlds here’s probably the best example that could ever exist.

Thanks Sony, you really showed Sony Playstation fans why either self-building a gaming PC or buying a SteamCube is the way to go.


For PS5 Owners

Please don’t lose hope and despair as jailbreaks are still possible💪:

You may however; not want to procrastinate and delay jailbreaking because the currently known processes will inevitably be patched out and future JB steps might become more complex than its current form.

Would you rather fight the Radroach now or fight it after it becomes a Deathclaw? Your choice🤷‍♀️.

Anyways I hope this is useful to you guys🙌 cause I personally find the anti-consumer enshitification behavior from companies as really juvenile and barbaric🖕.


For Sony

Sony please reconsider this.
Sacrificing your consumer base for your investors and stakeholders is LITERALLY how you get a repeat of: Killing of Brian Thompson Free entertainment for the general populace, needless tragedy for no reason unless you have a fetish for getting killed🤷‍♂️
you do you I guess.

Honestly, do you want someone to break into your home and assassinate you in bed? Cause shit like this is how you can piss someone off enough to motivate them to do this. I’m not even a PS5 owner and this pisses me off.


Waking up everyday to see new shit like this is tiring as it feels like an endless fight against the irrationality that these corpos dump onto anyone that isn’t a fucking billionaire. I hate to say it but this type of corporate backseating on ownership of people’s devices might eventually create riots.

The one thing missing from PC gaming on Linux is physical copies of games. The next best thing for ownership is GoG, I wish their client was available though because I like achievements and Lutris doesn’t support GoG achievements (haven’t tried Heroic yet so idk if it does)

What’s stopping you from making physical copies? If you bought something from GoG, you have the ability to download and archive whatever you bought. Burn a disc. Write it to some spinning rust. Make a RAID1 array of flash drives. It’s yours to do whatever you want.

Literally just copy the game files to “physical media” and you have a physical copy.

Doesn’t work for Steam Games, they need Steam to function. It does work for GoG though.

Heroic does support achievements, you just have to enable Comet support in the settings.

That applies to PC gaming in general, really. PC games haven’t had useful physical editions in about 20 years. Once Half-Life 2 started mandating online activation through Steam, all bets were off.

It goes even further back than this when you factor in CD keys. Big-name titles started requiring keys as far back as the late 90s, and some games even required them before this. Contrast this with console games, where 99% of loose copies were playable prior to 8th gen.
