    This is it. People have always paid for convenience.

    Just look at console vs PC gaming.

    Steamdeck made Linux gaming mainstream because it’s brainless. Backed by proton.

    But console has a vice grip on some communities / groups due to a long standing “plug and play” sales pitch. Now they’re stuck because “my friends are there.”

    My brother-in-law is a sysadmin and stuck on Playstation due to his friends. Doesn’t even own a gaming PC because “he doesn’t have the time to tinker.”
