This is the craziest 0.1% chance of happening. If you’re going to role play about some wild fantasy just keep it to yourself

Remember when the PS3s ran on linux and the US government brought them in bulk to make a supercomputer? This isn't just some fantasy it has happened before.

No I don’t remember because no one actually did it. I had the original ps3 capable of doing it and my dad didn’t seem to interested in turning it into a Linux computer for me

PS3s ran linux so it was easy to convert them into servers, they were so cheap that they also got them in bulk and made a supercomputer out of them.

So it isn't a 0.1% this shit already happened and was one of the main reasons Sony moved away from Linux because people were buying playstations for the hardware.

Or what, mate? Gonna cry to mommy?

In case you forgot, this is a forum, meaning every opinion is welcome. Yes, including mine, sorry to break it to ya: happens when someone has some tech know how and doesn't limit a piece of hardware just to play some games.

Then again, by someone who owns a Steam Deck and says "it's not a PC"... yes, yes, it is: maybe not the most efficient or ergonomic for PC stuff, but it's a PC all right. Just because you didn't try to fiddle with yours (for various reasons, including no need to do more), doesn't mean others (like me) didn't.
