This makes a lot of sense, even out of context. I don't think you can be called a fan boy for something that is free (as in freedom). To me "fan boy" implies simping for a person or a corporation, to the point they can take advantage and sell you stuff you wouldn't buy if made by someone else. Linux isn't the product of a company, nor is there a single version of Linux, the license prevents it from being owned by anyone.

If you're building a PC for gaming, it should pretty much definitely be Windows. Or you can dual boot to have Linux for your non-gaming stuff and Windows for games. If you go full Linux, well, you just might be a fanboy cause while it's improving it still isn't there yet.
@Ferkiwi 2 жыл бұрын
@@kaldo_kaldo I guess we have different definitions of "fanboy". To me it'd be weird to say "fanboy of the color yellow" or "fanboy of computer tech"... it needs to apply to a company (eg. Apple, Microsoft) or a company IP (eg. Xbox, Playstation), a band/group of people (eg. the Beatles), or a specific person. Rather than just being fan of a generic concept. To me what you describe could be called a Linux "freak" / "geek" / "obsessed", but I wouldn't say that would be a fanboy since there's no IP ownership attached to FOSS. It's the difference between someone who is a sucker for AMD (fanboy) and someone who is just so obsessed with APU technology that he might use an APU even for cases where getting a dedicated CPU & GPU might work better cause APU tech "still isn't there yet". You can be an "Ubuntu fanboy", or a "Debian fanboy", because those are Linux companies or organizations and being a fan of those groups trascends technical or moral preferences.. but "Linux fanboy" is more of a technical preference that's independent of any company/organization so it doesn't have the same meaning.

Then when you press that button it's turboed until you do it again. There was also an autofire setting, same situation but after you did it the button would basically act as if you were holding it down turbo until you turned it off. I like that implementation and I like the give you two buttons on the back you could use to set that up, if you want.

I bought the Pro+ in November and I'm using the controller ever since on an almost daily basis. I don't have much experience with gamepads, but I really like this one. It doesn't have the highest of qualities (e.g. dead skin can get trapped in many gaps and the phone stand doesn't really work for me), but I've really liked everything else (for example the battery that gets low only after 20hrs of use). I don't feel the need to upgrade to the Pro2, but I think that everyone who buys it will make a very good purchase. Btw you can even ask 8BitDo to send you replacement parts if something gets broken. I've asked them a left stick yesterday because the one I already have gets scratched under the cap and they told me they'd send me one for free.

I have the prévios model, called sn30 pro plus, and I love it. It fixes all the problems I had with the DS4. The battery life is out of this world, about 20h. The grip in my hand and opinion is a bit better than the DS4. The software is great. I have the same complaint as Anthony regarding the remapping limitations, but it is what it is. My only real complaint is the start button on my unit. I don't know if I got a faulty unit, but the start button more often than not gets jammed when I push it down. It's very easy to unjam, just pressing it again does it, but I kinda expected a better quality. All the other buttons work flawlessly.

Grabbed my 8bitdo Pro today in the PS1 style for playing on PC w game pass and I’m truly in love. I’m coming from a ps4 controller and it feels incredibly similar but somehow more comfortable. I think the claim that it’s for retro games is just projecting because that’s what he sees in it. I played Star Wars Jedi order and forza for some hours today and had a blast. This controller is definitely on par for any kind of gaming. The back buttons are a plus as well. I’d say if you’ve been thinking about it just get it you’ll probably love it. I grew up on PlayStations since ps1 and this feels right at home.

I've owned the 8BitDo SN30pro+ (Not the 2, mine is missing extra back buttons) for some 6-8 months and it is my favorite controller ever. I grew up literally cutting my teeth on the super Nintendo controller and always thought that Play Station nailed it early with the iconic design they aren't ever going to need to really change. So those combined like this is my dream controller. The only negative I've run into so far is the coating on the joysticks tore a tiny tiny bit in one spot. But only that speck sized piece came off and if I didn't tell anyone they wouldn't ever notice. Bluetooth works great, battery lasts forever. This is one of those products that doesn't need advertising because people will promote it between each other by word of mouth. Also the D-Pad is perfect. This controller made me better at Hollow Knight. No Joke.
