If that isn’t a great romcom premise, I don’t know what is.

I can see a Steamdeck 2 happening, but definitely not a 3.

I’m sorry, but this story makes you seem like an entitled prick. I’m sure you are not, though, and the story is missing some crucial context

Alright, so what is it this time that they want to divert attention away from? Has Trump payed more people to keep quiet about something?

Game of Thrones didn’t suck because D&D rushed things. It started to go downhill as early as season 5, when they ran out of source material. People overlooked it initially because Game of Thrones had such a strong hype train. The last two seasons were just so blatantly bad that no one could ignore it anymore.

Thanks for the link! Was an interesting read.

Isn’t it always?

To be fair, if you use an oven mitt, it is about two gloves full of garlic.

Do you have a source that this claim is just a myth?

As long as it doesn’t become Reddit 2.0.

To be fair, if you do not care about the newest iteration of whatever Nvidia is up to (Frame Generation, RTX HDR, etc.) and don’t play games with kernel-level anti-cheat systems, there are really no issues with gaming on Linux these days - at least in my experience.

You’re absolutely right that Linux is still missing a lot of the features that are available on Windows. But the freedom you get with it is so worth it for me, even if my 4090 is bored most of the time.

… in the US. In other countries, they can’t be bought and likely never will be.

Only 2 Layers?

As a Martian I feel left out.

KDE X11 is also quite janky for me. KDE with Wayland is pretty smooth. I’m using Fedora 40 btw so no idea if that is because Wayland is the new default when using the KDE spin.

True.

The only thing the average consumer will even notice is the end of support for Windows 10. However, once the prompt to upgrade to Windows 11 appears, 99% will click “yes” and forget about it. They might be a little annoyed by the changes, but that will be all.

In the real world? Yes. In art, not necessarily:

Add Norton to that list. They also perform their own MITM attack on your pc to ensure your certificates are “safe”…

As a Linux user myself, I understand what you are saying. Every distribution has its advantages and disadvantages, and you can’t expect regular people to know which one is best for them. Saying it’s not confusing to the average consumer is disingenuous.

Having said that, if you want to make the switch, go for Linux Mint and be happy. In my opinion, it’s the easiest Linux distribution by far, and everything just works.
