Funny coming from HP, who has poured billions into making their printing experience suck. Deliberately
It is pretty cool to see SteamOS appear on 3rd party devices, regardless how we feel about HP.
It reminds me of the steam machines from over a decade ago
lol ok, but HP is still a bag of dicks
After switching from win10 to Bazzite, honestly the Linux experience is better for gaming. Incredibly smooth.
Knowing then, they’d somehow force an ink subscription on the device.
The handheld stops working if you don’t have an active subscription for stupidly expensive HP brand screen wipes. This is marketed as being part of their eyesight protection feature.
The analog sticks have a set number of rotations after which they need to be replaced. Putting off brand analog sticks in the device will instantly brick it.
But the HP experience sucks even more.
They don’t always suck, just usually. The HP Reverb 2 was a pretty good VR headset for the price. I felt like I got my money’s worth out of it without any significant issues.
I have an HP monitor that is good quality, prefer it over the Samsung one I have
Samsung is also a pretty shit company to be fair - look at the shenanigans they pull with adverts in their smart TVs for one. Sad fact is that most companies are at least 80% shit! Even the ones that are alright are prone to quickly enshitify overnight.
I have two Samsung monitors. Both purchased about 10 years apart. The only Samsung displays I’ve ever purchased. Both have dead fucking pixels. I’ll never willingly purchase a Samsung display, monitor or TV, again.
You couldn’t pay me to buy a HP device.
Anyone remember the HP TouchPad with WebOS that they had to fire sale?
I remember.
