Finally someone else said it.

Just adding that since they game Bazzite is maybe the better option but still fedora based.

But I’ve too seen compatibility issues recently with Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros, but not really with Debian based ones (yes, even though Ubuntu is based on Debian). I don’t know why, but even MX has given me less troubles recently than Mint (not that I’d recommend base MX though - I just heavily customized it so that it’s elderly friendly, so people who basically barely can use a browser and have poor eyesight).

They’d probably sell even more of their naming scheme was less confusing.

Counterpoint, the Linux community is also happy to keep old and ancient things alive as well.

Just look at how many 32 bit dedicated distros are out there. There’s even 16 bit ones.

It would be better to support Hoptodesk instead then

fairly trivial

You vastly overestimate the average computer user’s abilities.

Sure, these days it could be said (though Mint still is a bit different looking enough that it could also be said it looks less like Windows 10 than Zorin - that’s why they think you’re running Windows 9 instead). 10 - 15 years ago? No, Mint didn’t look like Windows. Maybe Windows XP but not 7.

That’s why Zorin exists, because back then it actually looked a lot like Windows, and was one of a few that did so.

And, it could also easily change it’s look to XP, Vista, 95, and Mac back then too. I think now though it’s only Pro that it has all the options, but it also has expanded options I see including ChromeOS (which I imagine is something certain schools would prefer).

And unlike Mint, even the core edition can easily swap to a touch type interface for those with touchscreen laptops.

Nah, y’all just young. Zorin’s designed to look extremely Windows-like, and they’ve always gotten a bump when Microsoft has a stroke. Last time they grew a lot was Windows 8.

If anything, this is just a sign of how badly Microsoft has fucked up with Windows 11.

Oh fuck off. You’ll Luigi the open source people who offer a free OS designed for people unfamiliar with Linux but not Oracle or Microsoft CEOs? Surrrrrre.

You harm the open source community far more than the average closed source marketer. Haven’t even heard of a distro that’s been around over a decade either? Poser

It’s for people who don’t know what an operating system is (probably over half the world population or much greater) but can understand “this is like Windows but works faster and with less viruses, and it has something like Microsoft Office but free”.

It was the most easy to convince others to use it during the Windows 8 era because it looked so much like Windows 7 and likely the same is happening now with the end of life of Windows 10.

Not that hard if you ever spoke to anyone who doesn’t really understand computers. Good for you I guess that you came from a family of tech literate people I guess.

I have the same layout except an older 3090 instead of a 5090. I had compatibility issues until I switched to Bazzite. Seems Fedora based distros work better with new hardware compared to Ubuntu based ones. It’s worked so well I finally straight up deleted windows entirely.

I’d like to legitimately know the possible rationalization that came to that conclusion

I was thinking more of adding PC games to mobile

Steam phone next?

In fairness, the employees are the highest paid in the industry, making well over 1/2 million a year + bonuses, and even the janitor I believe is well paid, from a leak that came out once in the news.

They also have very few employees surprisingly.

And they’re private, so there’s no “line must always go up” mentality either.

Should they be paid even more? Yes, but compared to basically all other corporations, he’s like last on the list. Not to mention gaming on Linux and open source software (and now, VR on Linux) has basically become possible and easily achievable thanks to Valve, so at least some of that huge money is going back directly to the relevant community. That’s way more than can be said about any other tech company.

He’s still on the list, but he might be the furthest down.

Ohp you’re right. I misunderstood the prices, and thought the cheapest one was 200$ not the most expensive one. 200 to 350€ I figured was the VAT + Import fees.

200 to 600 don’t know what the heck is going on.

And now Steam is making VR on Linux possible, just to add to it.

Well I’m probably wrong then, framework said they couldn’t get good performance and maintain signal integrity with upgradable memory for the Ryzen Max cpus

On the other hand, Framework is run by far right sympathizers and are a few billion short of what Valve’s R&D might have access too.

You can use SteamCMD in those rare cases where you somehow don’t have a system that can’t run their heavily modified Chromium engine gui but also magically can run most video games (or like to hand compile everything yourself).

Chromium itself is open source software as well.
