  When you can’t fix something, it’s usually “the OEM is doing something insane in their ACPI code”, or “you have a cracked MLCC somewhere, which pushes power delivery barely out of spec and some net doesn’t make timing under complex microarchitectural conditions”.

    That has absolutely never happened to me in over 2 decades. Sucks for you I guess.

    There’s no reason why a steam machine would be inmune to software/driver/hardware issues. I mean, it’s basically a laptop in a different form factor and laptops hace issues too.

      Nobody said that

      I think the confusion here is that you see gamers as nerds who all want ray tracing and photorealism

      They aren’t. Some are

        I’m literally playing nfsu 2 and signalis. I also think ray tracing is dumb af and we’re nowhere near phitorealism. So no, you’re dead wrong.

        However, I also want to play the latest RE and Control Resonant when it comes out. Not to mention that I play these games on a 1440p 170hz screen and would like to upgrade to alienware’s new ultrawide oled.

        steam directly tests that hardware in steam os, so less likelihood of issues

        Issues like what, exactly? Unless you have a pc that’s over a decade old, you won’t have any “hardware issues”.

        not all hardware is compatible with each other when building either

        There’s this thing called hwpartpicker. You should use it. Hw incompatibility isn’t rocket science.
