Two weeks ago my step mother asked me “Can you help my friend connect her PC to the wifi, it runs Windows XP” users are fucking weird.

The actual answer, there is no reason to switch. The vast majority of users do not care about Linux or why they would want to. For us there are lots of benefits and things we enjoy about getting away from Windows but for them “why?”

I wonder if we will ever see a proper return to form for GPU pricing. As you mentioned, most if not all other PC hardware has come down to pre-pandemic pricing but without GPUs joining them it makes budget builds impossible*

Seeing the RX 7600 leap so far ahead in higher resolutions in CS is interesting. Ultimately both seem… ugh.
