Perhaps read about all the garbage Linux puts out. -They don’t do the testing, QA, or slow roll outs that Windows does.

I’m sure it’s not counting those of us using the free version that comes with Windows.

The heat from use damages integrated parts equally. Laptops and phones are disposable and shouldn’t waste on modularity because when one part goes, typically the rest follow. Modularity adds bulk weight and can interfere with cooling. A lot of those modules can be replaced by cheaper, and more convenient specialty cables.

Which helps contribute to resale value which contributes to initial sale value.

All the things that are easily disabled? -Sounds as foolish as having a distro for changing wallpaper, fonts and color scheme.

They do make a small profit off those phones, while you could’ve simply hit them where it counts with ad-blocking and tracker protection.

That doesn’t make kernel ABI stability irrelevant. Also, your statement was: 'The Linux Kernel is very stable in terms of API and even ABI."

Internal kernel ABI instability affects anything that depends on out-of-tree drivers (which games do). GPU drivers, input drivers, and certain middleware -all affected, and all can break games.

Yeah, sounds just like a conspiracy theorist. ‘conspiracy fact!’ lol

Nice accusation.

You should stick to conspiracy theorist forums.

You’re making a claim, and proof you’re wrong is all around you. Sorry, I don’t deal with delusional people well.

Oh, so you know how to source something and still refuse to back your claim that Linux is more secure.

What would the world would be like if Linux users used a search or co-pilot.

I would love it if LiGNUts could use a search engine. -But nah, they’ll wait hours and lean on others for an answer they could obtain in seconds. “cite your source” -Is the internet not at your fingertips?

Obviously not, and no one with a job and life is completing that many modern games that quickly.

Compared to what? You cannot honestly argue that Linux has better security. It’s not even a priority of Torvalds and he gets angry about too much security infringing on userspace. Everyone also knows BSD is more secure by default. We’re also talking just the kernel with Linux. Add all the ‘hobby’ type garbage that comes with DEs and you’re no longer using a kernel as your propaganda. Windows has improved vastly since the 90s when people just played mild pranks and no one was banking online.

Windows has a lot more security than Linux (which lags). Every time Windows comes out with a new technology like secure boot, Linux users will scoff and down-play it until they catch up. And this happens with more than just security.

Also, Linux has way too many toolkits. If you want all the best apps; you need to add many whole toolkits which dramatically change the footprint. All new icons, dependencies, fonts, etc. Initial installs make a great first impression, and the rest is blamed on ‘your fault’, ‘pebkac’, ‘skill issue’. -Because it’s a religion.

Valve does it: It’s ok. Sony does it: Fuck Sony!

Some severe cope you have here. I only tend to play 1 or 2 games at most in any time frame. -Maybe 3-6 a year. When one of those doesn’t play on Linux, that’s a huge impact on my view of Linux. -But that’s minor compared to the games that couldn’t be completed halfway through due to frame timing issues. Also, pacing games that experienced input lag. It’s worse to be stuck with a game broken midway on a shitty limited OS than to just have it not play to begin with.

Maybe if you played games enough to experience problems instead of constantly having to fix your Linux; you’d see these things.
