    Who would have predicted, a decade ago, that the path to the actual year of the linux desktop would be taken first through the linux handheld gaming PC?

    … Also LoL at SpiderMan 2, the only one that does a single frame worse, which basically at this point is just a solid indicator that game is still unoptimized as all hell.

    Old man Gabe has been playing the long game, for all these years.

    Ex-MSFT employee on a mission to apparently save us all from MSFT this whole time hahaha

      It’s not like all the alternatives to Linux aren’t that good. Mac is a walled garden and Windows keeps introducing AI slop feature after AI slop feature that actually publishes your personal information

        I mean, Macs are certainly a viable alternative for many people…

        But if you wanna use your PC to play games?

        About 25% of Steam’s library runs on Mac.

        Whereas if you look at ProtonDB, 81% of games are either gold or platinum on Linux in general, 86% if you throw silver in.

        That’s gonna be a major hangup for a lot of people who want a PC that isn’t Windows.

        Oh right, that and Macs are all overpriced as fuck for the average consumer, when we are about to enter into the Second Great Depression.
