Convenient, easy to use, available everywhere.

Even when they get a new user on Linux, they still then scrutinise their choice of distribution, if not that then their IDE. There’s no winning and it’s off-putting for people considering the jump.

And the sewer is filled with literal shit, it doesn’t make a complaint over a pop-up ad on a paid tier any less valid. Get ya whataboutism out of here!

Emails, opt-in are fine yeah. I don’t mind the little Special offer button at the top either, it’s just the pop-up when I’m just trying to check my mails that is really intrusive.

Yeah if you don’t pay its fine, but if you have mail plus, they will have pop ups advertising premium. Once you get premium? They start advertising family!

You get premium ads if you are on a plus subscription or a free account. Once you get premium though, then they start advertising the family pack to you!

Enjoy pop-up ads trying to sell you a subscription when you just want to view your inbox! The one bad thing about their service.

SteamOS is 42.99% of the Linux share on there, with the lion’s share increase of 0.68%. This ‘surge’ is pretty much just from the Steam Deck.

My top 5:

1. Assassin’s Creed 2
2. Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood

They are peak Ubisoft and the only games I’d say fall close to ‘must-play’.

Why make your app fully functional across all systems when instead you can make some custom mute-mic icons to sell for $120/year?

Just use the NewPipe + Sponsorblock fork.

I cant even tell Steam Deck is Linux, it actually runs really well.

Hire people who would actually know where to begin with that.

Everyone is too serious these days, we need this goofy shit to return!

X11 and multi monitors is also a mess.

Hit the nail on the head.
And they will come and say “it works fine for me” in classic fashion.
Or tell you that you are using it wrong.
I do hope Linux desktop does get some good investment in the future, but maybe its fine just existing for a niche audience or specific use cases.

Twitch could have massively ate into YouTube if they wanted, but they must have decided it wasn’t worth the cost to host videos.

Faceit oof, need full access to your pc, refuse to let you use features of your pc and you have to strangle them during a gdpr request to make them finally hand over data. Shame how they fell, but they have that market share advantage.
