Well other than the current cost of building 😭 but that is going to pass on to also be a problem for the next gen consoles too

Pikaos also great if you wanna stick with a Debian base but have up to date packages kernel and video drivers

I have a really simple setup since I don’t really do content creation or music or anything really needing a quality microphone. I use the Drop/EPOS pc38x with the velour ear pads. As far as gaming headsets or just headsets in general, the sound quality is really good. Actually pretty decent mic for a headset, comfortable, braided cable, volume knob. Can’t complain.

If I had more money I’d look at proper headphones and a standalone mic, but for 200 (160 when I bought them) it’s solid. I personally don’t like Bluetooth peripherals, wired gives the lowest latency and don’t have to bother charging or having the batteries eventually needing replaced if they’re even user replaceable. And not to mention not needing any bloatware to use. Just plug n play
