I've boarded the Linux train but not everyone can replace their OS nor troubleshoot issues, and good luck bringing your computer to a repair shop if you do run Linux. For the average person, they need someone to help them whether it's Windows or Linux.

Honestly, gaming on Steam is pretty straightforward on Linux. You just have to go into the Steam settings and allow Proton (the compatibility layer that allows you to run Windows games on Linux) to not restrict your game list to tested games. It's a single checkbox. If you do anything more than just play the games (ie., you install mods for the games) you'll need to dig in a bit more. I suppose that's the same for Windows, though.

Really, I think the issue is more Windows applications that aren't available for Linux if you're a professional. People need their Adobe software.

Additionally, you'll need to be able to troubleshoot and fix issues if you don't have someone to do it for you, just like on Windows. The difference is that Windows can be supported by almost any computer enthusiast whereas tons haven't learned the ins and outs of Linux.

Well, he technically shot the air too.

I feel I have less of a choice in operating system than I do browsers or search. Just saying.

Perhaps the arguments made by Satya could be used against Microsoft's OS market share in the future.

I remember reading something about Japanese publishers using all caps because they don't use case in their own language. Something like that.

And it's still a brick, lol.

Or it could be like how our competition bureau is being forced to pay $13 million to Rogers Cable for inconveniencing them with an investigation when Rogers Cable decided to buy Shaw Cable. And the deal went through. Can you imagine?

I also get worse performance using a Radeon 6800 XT compared to Windows.

The picture of father and daughter holding hands is just so incredibly sad

Interesting, I kinda figured that there was some funding by governments but not nearly enough. SE Linux I always assumed was maintained by Redhat, like many other Linux components.

That makes the Nvidia situation a little more interesting. I'd imagine other proprietary software uses GPL'd libraries, like Steam? Doesn't seem fair if only certain software is being targeted for violating the license. At the same time I'm annoyed how little Nvidia contributes back. It feels like AMD is creating open standards like Freesync while Nvidia won't let others play with their toys in the sandbox, like G-Sync.

I ran into this too. I had this RP moment where I was going to convert my character to a wizard based on where the conversation was going. I realised what was going on and pulled my character out of the conversation and went with my original idea, getting Withers to convert my character to a wizard. In my mind, that's how the story went.
