I’m sorry, but this story makes you seem like an entitled prick. I’m sure you are not, though, and the story is missing some crucial context

This is the reason I have a asustor NAS. Yes, it’s not as feature-rich and there are some services they offer that require an account, but nothing is really forced on you.
No I follow the 3-2-1 rule which states that you should have 3 copies in 2 locations where 1 of them is remote.
In my case, the remote part is two external SSDs where I leave one with my parents and the other one plugged into my NAS which does automatic daily backups. When my parents come I swap them around.
too important to self-host
For me it’s the other way round. My photos are too important to trust any corporation - no matter how trustworthy they say they are.
To be fair, if you do not care about the newest iteration of whatever Nvidia is up to (Frame Generation, RTX HDR, etc.) and don’t play games with kernel-level anti-cheat systems, there are really no issues with gaming on Linux these days - at least in my experience.
You’re absolutely right that Linux is still missing a lot of the features that are available on Windows. But the freedom you get with it is so worth it for me, even if my 4090 is bored most of the time.
… in the US. In other countries, they can’t be bought and likely never will be.
As a Martian I feel left out.
True.
The only thing the average consumer will even notice is the end of support for Windows 10. However, once the prompt to upgrade to Windows 11 appears, 99% will click “yes” and forget about it. They might be a little annoyed by the changes, but that will be all.
Add Norton to that list. They also perform their own MITM attack on your pc to ensure your certificates are “safe”…
As a Linux user myself, I understand what you are saying. Every distribution has its advantages and disadvantages, and you can’t expect regular people to know which one is best for them. Saying it’s not confusing to the average consumer is disingenuous.
Having said that, if you want to make the switch, go for Linux Mint and be happy. In my opinion, it’s the easiest Linux distribution by far, and everything just works.
And mainly in third world countries, like the US.
I was in the same boat as you a year ago, but Windows got so bad that I just accepted that I could only play 90% of the games I want and had to check protondb before buying a game.
Also I wouldn’t use a distro that has GNOME as their default DE. KDE is (currently) superior in many ways that matter for gamers.
TIL my company has only bad managers.
That is also the reason everything reset to the status quo at the end of every episode.
Doesn’t mean your company didn’t bet on the wrong horse. Luckily we stay far away from anything Google touches, but I have friends in other companies who weren’t as lucky.
This is very misleading. Usually 60 FPS looks worse (especially on consoles and older PCs) since you have to lower settings.
So clearly 30 FPS is superior.

OK now they can go ahead with plan B where they allow you to link your PSN account to get some super cool cosmetic. I wonder what the reaction of the consumers will be then.
If true, that explains a lot. Where I’m from the pizza slice alone costs that much.
