Youtube basically defines what is called widely used, and on youtube it is iirc. Idk what instagram, tiktok, etc use, but youtube still gotta be the biggest video platform.

There is absolutely no way that 350€ was not a loss for them. The also basically said that indirectly. And if you include all the software dev work that goes into the platform it gets even more cost intensive for them.

people would start buying them for other uses too

They very much are…

They were definitely selling at a huge loss with the original prices and depending on how hard their suppliers got hit, they might still be selling at a loss now. The game sales will make up for it.

Also, even at the same price point the steam deck would win because of its build quality, repairability and software support.

Controlling the software is an integral part of the ethos of self hosting. Literally right in the first sentence of the wikipedia page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-hosting_(network)

Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining a website or service, as well as own servers for e-mail, IM, NTP and so on, using a private server, instead of using a service outside of the administrator’s own control. Self-hosting allows users to have more control over their data, privacy, and computing infrastructure, as well as potentially saving costs and improving skills.

instead of using a service outside of the administrator’s own control

Plex is outside of the administrators control.

They merely have control over a user interface that can be replaced.

If you have no control over it, that means plex isnt self hosted. The data is self hosted, but not the interface which is all that plex is at the end. You are basically just donating your hardware and data to a shitty company at that point.

So wie ichs verstehe ist Argon2 absichtlich “langsam” um bruteforce Angriffe zu erschweren. Auf meinem 5800X3D brauchts nur ~2 Sekunden aber auf nem Thinkpad mit deutlich weniger compute sind das eher so 10 Sekunden.

All my boot time comes from LUKS decryption…

just not with such a needlessly large amount of cops

Hence this part of my comment… like … learn to read boiii

Oh no i meant the swatting part my bad.

Oh this absolutely happens in europe too, just not with such a needlessly large amount of cops. Makes it no less dangerous though.

The 11% are only for steam users that selected english language afaik

I mean it probably will be. Im somewhat confident that linux will get close to 10% on steam this year. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/05/steam-survey-for-april-2026-shows-linux-still-trending-well/

Its software packages required to build functional GNU/Linux operating systems. Yes.

Normal people just call all of this “linux” for simplicity, but annoying people keep feeling a need to point out the distinction.

Well yeah only 3% go to the kernel. Most of the rest seems to be going to everything else required for a functional OS. The kernel alone is fairly useless.

Add to that the recent announcement about adding AI poop to the OS.

Im pretty sure the years of the console industry screaming “we are optimizing” were just bullshit tbh. I just want the proof.

I want to see a comparison between the same game being played on the original OS and on linux.

You should generally always wait and see with basically all tech products. There is never really a reason to buy freshly released products except for FOMO stupidity. Same applies to games.
