Makes sense having it directly in the settings app. Good idea.

Linux gaming users are in the tens of millions of people. It’s not like this is some super tiny community. There are more Linux gamers than macOS gamers by around double.

Nope, not in the tens of millions:

People using Linux computers at home, including for gaming, is a super tiny "community". Also not close to double Mac, and even if it was - Mac isn't a real gaming platform, so the fact that it's not even double Mac is evidence of how little people care about linux for gaming.

About two years ago Linux gaming market share was hovering below 2%. Now it’s over 4%.

Not on steam it's not.

Yeah…it’s smaller than Windows by A LOT, but it’s continuing to grow every single month on the Steam Hardware Survey.

Purely because of the steam deck, and windows is growing too - not everyone uses steam on windows, whereas it's really the only option for Linux.

Linux gaming has gone from “this sucks” to “this works unless there is kernel anti-cheat”.

And unfortunately for Linux, without this it will never take off because the overwhelmingly most played games all have kernel level anti-cheat.

I'm sure you can google the books that were "banned" (though not really banned, just removed from school libraries as they were highly inappropriate). Just like they don't put playboy magazines in schools, they're not "banned" they're just not in school libraries.

In cyber security you may never know if a bad actor got access to your systems/data. The issue with not following good security practices is that you increase the risk of this happening.

If they're using Azure or AWS then they have a level of built in good security practices. These people aren't morons, they know what they're doing. In fact, using AWS or Azure you have to fuck things up to make it insecure, because by default they're all pretty locked down.

Its like saying we should stop mandating vaccines cause the diseases aren’t around anymore.

I'm 100% a pro-vaccine person, but vaccines should not be mandatory. "My body, my choice" - isn't that the saying? Or is that only for women wanting an abortion? If someone doesn't want to get a vaccine then they can suffer the potential consequences while those who are vaccinated don't (but they have to deal with the potential side effects of the vaccine).

They broke into the president of Microsofts office. Do you think that they shouldn't be fired for doing that? You can't just do whatever you want in the name of "protest".

Missing context: They broke into the President of Microsoft's office. Of course they were fired lol.

They weren't fired for participating in a protest, they were fired for breaking into the presidents office for their protest.

How did anyone even think this was newsworthy?

And you’re a liar.

So again, it’s all just bullshit hopes and dreams by the anti-doge people. No data has been exposed or hacked, no evidence of it actually being on anything insecure.

Doubling your market share is easy when your market share is so low. It’s not on an “exponential growth curve” lol. The steam deck changes nothing for Linux as most people playing them don’t give a shit about Linux.

But again - this has zero information. What cloud storage is it on? How is it not secure?

He told it that all of this was research for a play or a movie or something.
