  • If your entire argument hinges on such a myopic view of things then your argument is not very good. We also both know that I am not saying “literally zero people ever“ and that it is patently absurd of you to interpret my point that way. It’s dishonest and ridiculous.

    You know what my actual argument is, hiding behind a flagrantly dishonest interpretation of it is not the slam dunk you think it is. Unless you are truly that ignorant and only able to read things hyper literally, in which case I apologize for expecting too much of you.





  • Are you serious? Fuck windows I’ve been off it for over a decade but nothing compares to windows and Mac OS for stability. That’s a cornerstone issue with Linux adoption. People don’t have time to hunt down drivers and tweak shit all the time when they need to do their jobs.

    I like Linux man but this is another example of Linux users forgetting that the vast majority of people are not even close to as computer literate as we are. If you can’t pop it out of a box/download it, install it with a few clicks, and immediately get to work, it will not be mass-adopted. Period. All the external drives/USB/etcher shit makes people run for the door, let alone explaining to them about downloading and checking drivers and such.

    Hell how many distro‘s start without Wi-Fi even working?


  • SteamOS is fantastic for someone like me who wants a pc gaming rig that just plays games. I want it to be functionally a jacked up console. I don’t have time to sit around tinkering and dealing with drivers and all that. I want to set it to auto update, leave it in gaming mode (big picture mode on desktop I guess?), and just enjoy it.

    Consistent support by a quality, professional, largely well-behaved company. Less bullshit, less tweaking, more of a “it just works” experience. The moment an updated steamOS properly drops for desktops I’m building a PC for it.
