Personal anecdote. My PC cost me £900 in 2017. I haven't upgraded it since. I have saved a significant amount of money in that time that would otherwise have been spent on PlayStation Plus for the benefit of playing multiplayer and the general higher price of games.
Even if you accept the argument that consoles are significantly cheaper in the first place, the point that PC ownership saves money in the long run is often overlooked.
I've never owned as many games for as little cost as I do now.
And the games that really demand the high-end hardware tend to be pretty rare in the grand scheme of things, not to mention less likely to be as good as the low spec games. I always joke with my friends that I might buy a killer new PC in the next year or so, but my most-played game will still be a 2D game from 2012 that absolutely doesn't need it.
Why are people going for Bazzite for desktops? I've got it on a mini PC, and it's great for the living room and travel, but even then the updater still keeps trying to apply an update from April 28th over and over again. Is it a good choice for desktop too? I'm on Kubuntu now but will probably shop around for a new distro with my next PC.
It just works, so that's why I use it.
I've been using it on a desktop for more than a year now.
Never experienced that bug you mention but once the power went out during an update and it didn't want to boot, so I just chose the second option at boot and it's never failed again. Maybe something strange happened in your case, you should try it again.
