Pedophiles arguing why they like this niche anime just a little too much...

Use whatever works for you. Linux can be a pain in the ass sometimes. If your moral fiber isn't strong enough to override your need for sanity, sometimes you just need to use what has the path of least resistance.

If you're using it mostly for gaming, Windows is going to be the superior choice. Microsoft has just simply ensured that lock-in. Things are certainly changing, thanks to Valve; but don't feel afraid to try Linux out without dumping your whole life into it. Get a SBC (Single board computer) and run some Linux services on it - IRC bouncers, mail servers, buy a domain name and practice reverse proxies, virtual machines, etc.

There is room for both...until you've decided that Microsoft has stepped over that line you've drawn in the sand; then you can convince yourself to dive headlong into Linux full-time.

Regardless, Linux has already won. It runs the internet. It runs near every network device you own. You probably even have Linux running on something you had no idea was running it; Cameras, lower levels of consumer devices, etc. If the only bastion that Windows still has is Gaming...I think we're doing pretty good.

So if they exist on OSX, then Windows doesn't have a bastion on them.

If that number were 15% or so I'd agree.

From a benchmark perspective this has shown to be false in some or many areas.

A great lot of good those benchmarks are going to to when your game doesn't run AT ALL. This is such a non-argument it's not even funny at this point.

It's great to be an open source advocate, but this argument crosses the line into zealotry. It has very little basis in the reality of things.

Do I want Microsoft to die a quick and painful death? Absolutely. Is Linux the superior choice in all situations -- absolutely not.

80% on Tier 3 or lower for Proton Click Play. That's not a small number. That means a majority of games, have bugs, crashing issues, things that cause them to be unplayable or glitchy...

So I repeat...

A lot of good those benchmarks do when only 20% of the games are playable to the same degree...

Great, you have success with it. But your anecdotal evidence does not make a solid claim to base things upon.

I hate the non-static world of the web as it exists today, so I just pre-gen static HTML pages and serve them direct from Caddy; or reverse proxy some other service that's running its own delivery method. Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, etc -- none of them need a "proper" web server running in front of them.
