Steam OS

I just got my first pc

It’s a cyberpower gamer xtreme, the one from Costco last year.

32gb ddr5 6400mhz, 2tb 4.0 ssd, 5060 8gb, (ASUS?) intel b860 chipset motherboard, intel core ultra 5 225F 3.3ghz

I bought it to basically be a pc/console hybrid, leaning more on the console side. I don’t plan to stream on it, i don’t talk to anyone on discord really, I just wanted a better steam machine for less, which I got (bought this used for 660 bucks, awesome shape and great deal)

Anyway:

From what I’ve seen, steam OS is only optimized for amd.

Will steam os be better than windows 11 for my purposes?

Pros and cons?

If so, how do I go about installing steam os? Some videos say I need a flash drive, I don’t have anything like that, nor access to a separate computer/laptop.

If I install Steam os, will I need to rebuy windows if I change my mind?

I’m not tech savvy at all, I don’t even know how to open task manager lol! So please, help me out if possible. Thanks:)

Buying on FaceBook Market Place

Buying my “first” pc on Facebook marketplace

I have a ps5 pro for console gaming, and a switch 2 for Nintendo console gaming, looking to use this pc with my steam controller for console gaming as well since steam machine is.. very unfortunately not what I was hoping it’d be (still on the waitlist in case I change my mind!)

Anyway:

I’m buying a pc tomorrow morning off Facebook marketplace, and I know NOTHING about this kinda stuff

I know it’s a steal, it’s that cyberpower 32gb ddr5 2tb xtreme pc from Costco that was on sale for 850 during Black Friday last year. He’s selling it for his kid who wants to buy a ps5 pro for gta 6. 750 bucks for the thing, obviously wayyyy better than pc part picker’s price for the build

So, knowing nothing (not even how to open a file), before buying:

What do I need to check about the pc physically?

What do I need to check about the pc internally (on the pc itself like booting it up)?

What do I need to do to make sure no parts are damaged, are what they say they are, and are healthy and working condition?

Anything else I should check out, test, etc etc before handing over the moolah?

How do I transport it back safely on a 55mph highway in an open top convertible?

It’s a cash deal 30 minutes away from me. I’ve reported scammers before, but I don’t have lawyer money for small claims court, so I’m trying to avoid scams as best as possible!

This isn’t a “too good to be true” deal, the guy has 141 reviews at 5 stars. I don’t think he’s risking a profile like that over a transaction under 800 bucks

He’s more than happy to let me test it out for myself, but he said he factory reset it, so I’ll have to sign in and such. Not tryna test like cyberpunk or nothin, as I’ll stick to my ps5 pro for that, but 5060 32gb ddr5 and 2tb should be plenty for terraria and lethal company

Please, help me out!

Platinum Help

Hey yall I’m wanna platinum gta 5 before 6 comes out, but stupidly that involves online stuff

I haven’t even made a character or anything, can anyone on ps5 help me platinum? I think I need a total of 3 helpers for one achievement, but the more help the better!

I don’t have anything to offer other than a probable friend, expert terraria skills, and if I enjoy my time in online a buddy to play with there too👌

Thanks!

Is this a good deal? Or should I wait for steam machine? I’m a console gamer and want to play steam games.

Found this Skytech Archangel Gaming PC Desktop AMD Ryzen 5 7600 AMD Radeon RX 7600 1TB NVMe SSD 16GB DDR5 RAM Windows 11 on Walmart clearance for 538. Idk anything about AMD so I don’t know what kind of performance of a console this’ll be on par with.

I also don’t know what the PCPartPicket comes out to

So, as a console gamer who wants to play Steam games as well as is going to buy the Steam frame for sure, should I get this? Or should I wait for my waitlist on the 2tb Steam machine?

Costco HP vs Steam Macbine

I know nothing about laptops.

Is this a good deal?

How does it compare to Steam Machine specs/usefulness?

Thanks!

Movies Anywhere HD vs Fandango HDX

Why does some Movies Anywhere films I own in HD show as HDX on Fandango?

Which one is accurate? Cause I want to make an HD list and an HDX list, but Fandango is saying all of my HD movies are HDX.

I gave an example for Deadpool which I own on Blu-ray. As seen in the image, it shows on Movies Anywhere as HD. However, on Fandango, it shows as HDX.

Please help, as I’m really new to this whole situation! Thanks:)

Is this an issue? If so, how do I fix?

I just went out to my car after work and saw this. I don’t know ANYTHING about cars. What is this hole in the rubber part? What is this gap in my soft top? How do I fix them both?

Convince Me To Buy This - Steam Frame

I’ve been waiting for valve index 2 since I was in middle school. I’m 21 now. I couldn’t afford the first one since I was 15. Now I’m adult with adult money. I want to buy this, but I’m seeing mixed things online.

More comfortable headgear, better visual quality, better refresh rate, wireless, etc etc

But I’m also seeing negative things like the lack of OLED, and how you HAVE to hold something to use it instead of having the gloves like the valve index.

I’m all for this, I think it’s great they’re making it, I’m also not dying on OLED’s hill since the Switch 2 changed my mind about that. I know LCD can be good.

However

What should I think about when buying it? How much do we think it’ll realistically cost, and at what price point should I realistically buy it? I’m getting a steam machine and I already have the controller, so I’m akin to wanting this too.

I have a PSVR2 that I barely use anymore. I had fun on it though! They killed beat saber support and I’m tired of waiting for blades and sorcery as well as fallout 4 vr. PLUS, PSVR1 games aren’t compatible for whatever reason

So please, should I get this? And if so, or if not, why?

Excited for what the near future holds in store!

Steam Controller Co-Op

So I’m getting a steam machine (whatever the unholy price tag may be) and I already have a steam controller

But, my girlfriend wants to get a controller to play with me on the steam machine.

Has anyone tested using 2 steam controllers on their pc/steam deck to play co-op games like say vs in mortal kombat, terraria split screen, halo split screen, etc etc?

Any idea if this’ll work how we’re wanting it to?

Really hoping it does, but for some reason I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t.

Thanks!

PlayStation PreOrder Discount?

I got a 5 dollar discount when preordering Minecraft dungeons 2 deluxe edition digitally on the PlayStation store. It didn’t say it was a PS Premium feature or nothin, just was a cheaper price. I have the receipt for proof, am confused cause I don’t get this 5 dollar discount on Steam or Xbox, so why PlayStation?

HDR isn’t available yet but will be within a week. Thanks YouTube’s slow uploading lol

Anyway enjoy! Sorry for the white flashbangs that might project given it’s on a screen. Also, believe me, im REALLY upset I didn’t think of the concept of zooming in for Teo (my fav song)

First miku expo, and now I know for next time!

  1. How early can VIP line up?

  2. Where can VIP line up?

  3. How early can I park at the website parking lots?

  4. Can I bring sealed standard size bottles of water?

  5. Where is merch?

  6. As for the numbered wrist bands, as a VIP, can I show up at 9am, get say number 1/x, leave, and then come back at 7pm to be the first person inside? That’s so confusing
