An unexpected duo has stolen the spotlight in the realm of PC gaming, a partnership that we never knew we needed until now. Say hello to the dynamic combo of Framework Desktop and Linux, making waves by revolutionizing the PC gaming experience, especially in the comfort of your living room.
The magic starts with the Framework Laptop. While its name suggests portability, the Framework Laptop is more than just a machine for on-the-go tasks. With its open hardware design, it welcomes tweaks and upgrades, making it a dream playground for tech enthusiasts. Add to that the choice of pre-installing Linux, and you’ve got yourself an exciting playground to explore. But how does this translate to the world of gaming?
Linux, often overlooked in the world of gaming, has been making strides in compatibility and performance. With Valve’s Proton compatibility layer, more and more Windows games are running seamlessly on Linux. It’s like having a universal translator, breaking down the language barrier between games and your Linux-based system. This evolution propels Linux from being a mere workhorse OS to a serious gaming contender.
The next piece of the puzzle falls into place with the Framework Desktop. It’s the bigger sibling of the Framework Laptop, boasting a similar philosophy of modularity and freedom to upgrade. And yes, it also embraces Linux. So now, imagine this: a desktop that can easily be upgraded, running a Linux operating system that’s ready to take on the vast library of games.
The real game changer (pun intended) comes when we start talking about streaming. By combining the power of the Framework Desktop, Linux, and Steam’s Big Picture Mode, you can stream your games from your desktop to a larger screen in your living room. That’s right, your favorite PC games on your big screen TV. It’s a gaming experience that combines the power of a desktop and the convenience of console gaming.
In the past, the living room gaming scene has been dominated by consoles. But now, thanks to the Framework Desktop and Linux, PC gamers can also enjoy gaming from the comfort of their couch. It’s a fresh perspective on the familiar, a new gaming narrative that defies the norm.
So, fellow gamers, it’s time to let the world know: PC gaming is no longer confined to the corners of our rooms. It’s time to bring out the popcorn, kick back on the couch, and let the games begin. With the Framework Desktop and Linux, we’re all set to redefine the gaming landscape, one living room at a time. Welcome to the future of gaming.
