Hi everyone!

I had been a Playstation user since the first one and I own the fifth one.

After using Linux for years on weak computers for my admin, I decided to try Linux gaming in 2025 and bought a used LCD Steam Deck.

While I’ve been enjoying the Steam Deck, it hurts my neck and isn’t powerful enough for sim racing games.

Naturally, I was happy to learn that the Steam Machine was coming and was willing to invest up to CHF1000.- (~$1236) to get it.

Sadly, it’s not available to order in my country, Switzerland.

So now I have to choose between finding ways to order a Steam Machine or buying a prebuilt computer since I don’t want to source components to build something myself.

My priority would still be the Steam Machine, but I’d be open to alternatives.

What are your advices, what would you do if you’re in the same situation?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thiel was a cofounder of payments group PayPal and Palantir, a defence contractor known for mass surveillance and criticised heavily for its “strategic partnership” with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in its assault on Gaza.

A leaked schedule for the “retreat” hosted by Dialog, an invitation-only group cofounded 20 years ago by Thiel and entrepreneur Auren Hoffman, featured discussions on topics including preparations for a third world war, battlefield technologies, nuclear energy and cult-building.

Totally normal, nothing to see here. Just a business meeting!

Heat now kills three times more Europeans than roads. A heat pump is a two-way air conditioner: cooling in July, heating in January, no imported gas.

I have been out of the game for a while, but intend to pirate games of the classical asshole-publishers, such as Ubisoft. I know how to do all of that with Movies and TV Shows, but for PC Games, I am lacking legit sources and unfortunately, Impress is out as well.

How does one pirate PC Games in 2026, via torrent or usenet?

My specs:

• RX 7800 XT
• Ryzen 7500F
• 32GB RAM (Memtested less than a month ago)
• Seasonic X series 650W (high end PSU from around 10 years ago)

I'm currently running fedora rawhide linux, but I had the same issue on Bluefin Linux Stable and Debian Sid.

When I'm starting to play a demanding game, my system crashes within 5 seconds of loading the level. I wasn't able to reproduce that with stress tests. There's nothing in the logs, they just stop.

I think that's all. I can provide more details. If you can give me meaningful troubleshooting steps, I'm willing to install another system, even windows.

In my opinion the issue is clear, the PSU is old and can't keep up with the GPU, so I should probably replace it.

I don't want to do that, so if you have any other idea, please let me know.

What specs should I aim for for the new PSU?

Edit: I'm cooked, I tried booting the PC to make some tests again, but I'm getting a red motherboard light for CPU. The PC boots tho

Edit2: I found those deals on PSUs. I live in Poland, so prices are at least 25% higher than in the US:

• Corsair RM850e 2025 for $110
• FSP VITA GB 750W for $82
• MSI MAG A750GL for $95

Buy this giant fuckass truck to prove how much of a mature and successful man you are. Always moving forward like a shark! Consuming and moving on to the next new thing to consume! CONSUME!

Has the deal been fulfilled even if it was only a week after?
