I gotcha fam

It's about reducing variable costs.

You build phones, watches, tvs, washers, dryers, fridges? Why use separate hardware and software? That's just expensive. Just build a common platform that can be easily modified for everything and take advantage of production scale to reduce costs everywhere.

Slap in all those smart phone features too because why the fuck not. It's cheap, someone might be convinced to buy it because of it, and few people will avoid it because you can use your phone. Bonus points! We can collect use information.

Everyone wins! Except the customer. Because fuck them.

As long as you're cool being a bit more restricted in multiplayer games (a lot work great! But some developers are blocking linux), and you're okay with AMD (nvidia is improving though), gaming is basically on par with Windows at this point.

In some cases it's even better. I have a few games that require weird tricks to get it to work under Windows, but work fine in proton. Even Elden Ring at launch ran better on linux because it didn't have the micro-stutter issue.

Oh Rust is great, and it's on my learning to do list...but its evangelists are annoying as shit.

But dude, bro, we could put the entire system on the blockchain man, and make it super efficient with an AI backend that will remove all errors bro.

Dude it's not even written in Rust bro. WTF is this dinosaur shit?
