Rented a house over the holidays that had a Samsung Smart TV.
The UI is mind-bogglingly bad and slow.
The remote is also absolutely terrible and unintuitive. The keys that feel like they should be the arrow keys.. aren't. So even simple navigation through menus is painful.
Me with a i5 7500...

Look at all those downvotes from people who took offense to this comment, and WANT Steam to have a monopoly.
Yes, corporations bad. But don't forget: Steam is a corporation, too.
My daily trickplay task finished in 1 minute after the update. So apparently not.
It's still active -- save the communities that got kneecapped by mods during the revolt (and sadly, most of those are now Discord-based rather than having any appreciable activity here).
The activity there now is a lot... dumber. Like much of the internet, the ratio of real people to braindead bots on Reddit is a lot different than a few years ago.
For me, entirely the opposite.
I just bought the Lossless Scaling app on Steam for my RTX 3070. That shit is magic on the 144Hz 4K TV that my gaming PC is connected to. I play games exclusively with a gamepad, so I notice absolutely zero input latency.
I have fully drunk the frame gen Kool-Aid.
The PS5 Pro is a decent value compared to a PC. It's just not an amazing value like the original PS5 was in 2020.
Take PCPP's Entry Level AMD Gaming Build. Upgrade it to a 2TB NVME and a RX 6800 GPU. That's $830. https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/NtFfrH/entry-level-amd-gaming-build
That's pretty similar specs to the PS5 Pro (with a better Zen 3 CPU, but minus a gamepad).
The regressions are what bum me out about playing Windows games on Linux.
Games like Yakuza 5, where Proton worked for awhile, but then broke. So you need to manually use year-old versions for the game to run correctly.
EDIT: Funny I should mention Yakuza 5, because I just tried it on this new version, and it works again. (No wrong audio on cutscenes. No getting stuck on the initial load screen when starting the game.)
SHHHH!!!
Monopolies and authoritarians aren't bad as long as people like them! Hadn't you heard?
I'm not using the sewer when I shit my pants. I don't think you understand pants.
(Yes, I'm a Giant Bomb refugee.)
You see the screenshot.
Now assume your Angry Internet Gamer position....
