I’m doing my part by living car-free, never liked them. Unfortunately that’s not an option for everyone.

Depends on how heavily things are locked down, and how much money this tech-savvy person is willing to risk on a bricked automobile.

I’m aware of Dell officially supporting Ubuntu on their business machines, I appreciate that. What I meant is the market impact. Dell sells those development oriented workstations for those who actively seek them.

Go to any consumer store, online or meatspace, anything that is not a Macbook or Chromebook comes with windows.

(Of course it’s a chicken and egg problem, stores don’t want to stock things that won’t be in high demand)

He’s right. If vendors offered Linux based machines people would try. Valve is helping Linux adoption more than all the big names like Dell, Lenovo, HP… combined.

Good

I probably won’t use SteamOS but Bazzite or Cachy.

Half-Life 3 being ruines by tech bros wasn’t in my bingo card but I’m not surprised at this point.

Thank you. I just don’t want to pay monies for an OS I’m going to ditch immediately. But if I wait RAM prices will make up for that anyway.

Fuck I just ordered a Go 2 with the intention of installing Linux.

I would give up privacy only under one condition: everyone gives up all privacy. No exceptions.

GPT goes beyond chat, copilot code generation is also based on that. They also have generative visual stuff, like Sora.

Then there is brand recognition I guess, tech bros and finance bros seem to love OpenAI.
