Why would it support xinput? If it did then touchpads wouldnt work in that mode, gyro, gripsense, macros, and the back buttons. Also not a single valve product has ever supported xinput not the original steam controller or the steam deck, why would this suddenly be a massive departure?

The price is painful but theres nothing else like it, im gonna buy it when it launches

Due to the placement its not even remotely comparable, their trackpad is useless for precise aiming or really anything since its that out of the way. At this point it only exists for the few ps4 games that used it.

Ofc if you want to throw away your old laptop you should give it to me instead :3

Unironicaly though there should be a mass program where old PC parts and tech are donated from people who don’t want it to people who do (for example an old laptop that a retro collector might want or a broken laptop someone else might be willing to fix)

Great now gimme one that’s reasonably priced

Im waiting for Retroid to make a new flip :3

Personally I don’t really care for PlayStation games

Hard no, this benefits roughly nobody

It also is not an actual OS but just reverse engineered blobs so someone else could make an OS, they might not even be able to port a mainline kernel to any devices

Ive swapped around but for now im good on Arch, I like the AUR too much and tbh it does what I need (other distros are great and I installed Debian on my families computers but for me I use Arch).

Honestly its about time Nintendo puts their minor series first, hopefully now they’ll have enough time for f-zero

Yeah if your favorite messaging app is google messages or Samsung messages, I too enjoy corporate slop

These devices were never gonna gain mass appeal, it’s simply too expensive to develop for in exchange for a significantly smaller userbase

SteamVR supports Linux natively, VR headsets on the other hand is a case by case situation (if the headset doesn’t support Linux SteamVR can’t magically make it work)

Im not a fan of the severe security issues and just how broken sandboxing is

Considering this security bug is gonna be patched soon there really isn’t much you can do with it, I mean in theory you could use a GSI but tbh at that point just get a phone that supports bootloader unlocking. For the sake of security please don’t rely on exploits for the device you store sensitive data on.

Yeah no I understand so here are a few suggestions, their prices, advantages, and disadvantages:

Framework 16: This is the most powerful laptop they offer and has the option for an all AMD build (great for Linux). Specifically you can get this with a 7700S and a 350, that should be enough for any workflow or even decent gaming (keep in mind its below recommended so you may need to reduce some settings or play at a lower resolution). The way pricing is going these days and depending on how you configure it you can spend anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000.

Disadvantages: Its not a Linux machine so you wont receive any additional support, its very upgradable means its build quality can at times feel inconsistent, and lastly keep in mind this system doesnt get upgrades very often and new parts are inconsistent. The AMD GPU they offer is still the original one (they did a Nvidia option but Nvidia is a headache) and they have a new CPU option but its still not as consistent as their 13 model.

Distro: I personally recommend pairing this with Fedora KDE edition

Gazelle (System76): This laptop well exceeds the minimum specs for silent hill f, the best part is it comes preinstalled with pop_os which is maintained by system76 themselves so you are practically guaranteed a premium experience. It comes with a 5050 which normally would be a pain to set up but they set it up for you. Great software support all around and cosmic is an amazing desktop. It costs around 2k can be more if you want more ram/storage but the default is fine. Overall the build quality seems good and its not particularly large or thick. It also runs on their own open firmware (coreboot based) which gives it some incredible boot speeds.

Disadvantages: Still uses a barrel jack for charging, GPU is not as powerful as the Framework 16, has Nvidia quarks, and is not as repairable or customizable as framework.

TUXEDO Stellaris 16 AMD: Great option if you live in Europe but im not very familiar with it

Ok yeah that does give me a good idea but what general price range are you thinking about? Also does it have to be a laptop? I can find a desktop that can play basically anything for a good price.

Let me clearify why I’m reccomending you get a desktop, silent hill f is extremely demanding. I mean the reccomend GPU is a 2080Ti or a 6800XT. Especially right now that’s gonna be expensive but I can guarantee if you want that on a laptop prepare to pay several grand, on a desktop however I can find options at or below a grand (keep in mind used because PC prices are insane rn).

What is this game? And depending on your needs the T480 should be more than good enough

I do believe since GOS is partnering with Motorola they will have access to the OEM exclusive resources and the internal repo.
