Wait….do you guys think that Windows 10 “EOL” means it stops working?

You had me until the end. The “windows tax” is just passed directly to the consumer, it costs manufacturers nothing to ship with windows essentially. Most manufacturers won’t offer Linux because it doesn’t do what their customers want/need.

The very first question you need to answer is “am I going to want to play any of the games that literally do not work on Linux?”. That alone would be a dealbreaker for most, as the most popular games in the world don’t work on Linux (COD MP, Warzone, Fortnite, GTA online, PUBG, etc).

Unfortunate for Linux then because nvidia gpus are the best gpus.

The entire reason why standards exist, that’s why. Generally when you make something for a client they want to be able to hand it to anyone else in the industry to be able to also work on it.

A freelancer who doesn’t use industry standard stuff generally isn’t going to be freelancing for very long.

Just like they did when every other version of Windows stopped being supported. That’s why Linux has a 70%+ market share on computers right now…….

Those people will do what they always do, just keep using it without security updates.

Sounds like you live in an echo chamber. Windows is still by far the most popular computer operating system, and it’s not even close. There’s no sign of people moving away from Windows en-masse. Windows 11 adoption has been massive.

Fortnite does not work on Linux.

“Unless your game is one of the most popular games that people play, it will run on Linux”

That’s great, but what does it have to do with the topic?

$850 is way more expensive than a PS5 though lol. Linux also means you can’t play the games that top the most played charts on the PS5 every single month of every single year.

By decent you meant significantly worse than console gaming performance though.

Consoles are still the king for values in gaming, even with their increasing prices.

What do you classify as “ripping people off” when it comes to pricing?

AI has nothing to do with it. Die shrinks were the reason for “slim” consoles and big price drops in the past. Die shrinks are basically a thing of the past now.

It’s not that they’re not improving like they used to, it’s that the die can’t shrink any more.

Price cuts and “slim” models used to be possible due to die shrinks. A console might have released on 100nm, and then a process improvement comes out that means it can be made on 50nm, meaning 2x as many chips on a wafer and half the power usage and heat generation. This allowed smaller and cheaper revisions.

Now that the current ones are already on like 4nm, there’s just nowhere to shrink to.

Completely wrong.

Gay is same sex attraction. Nothing at all to do with gender and especially not gender identity.

Trans people and advocates call gay men who won’t date a trans man (a female) “bigots” and “transphobes”. They say that a male can be a lesbian, and if a lesbian won’t suck a “female penis” she is transphobic and a bigot. That’s homophobia, and like I said, it is rife in the TQ community.

Gay rights and trans rights are not compatible. One is based on sexual attraction, one is based on “gender identity”, the latter of which tries to force the former to not exist. The trans activists don’t even hide it - they call it “genital preference” and say it’s transphobic. That’s incredibly homophobic.

There’s that classic liberal attitude we all know and love.
