Without giving too much detail, I mix paint for commercial and industrial uses. We have plenty of business, but we get orders done ASAP so we can get back to being paid to play video games.
Second Life isn't owned by Meta. And just by the amount of money Second Life earned, and somehow still earns to this day, it was a pretty huge success. The only real success in the "virtual world" field. It's not surprising somebody else would try to emulate that success.
I spend about half my day or more at work playing videos games on my Steam Deck. And this is the busy season. Come winter, we won't have anything to do.
I make more than the average for my area, and I work weekdays, nine to five. It's a pretty good gig. The last week I've basically been paid to play Baldur's Gate 3.
If you're having issues with OOG, then try AAC. It was designed to be the successor to MP3, and when MP3 is phased out in the coming years, it will be in favor of AAC. I use Vorbis because it's open source, but there are other options than that.
The only privacy add-on you need is uBlock Origin with script blocking and advanced mode enabled, installed on Firefox. Better yet, LibreWolf, although a few websites will be broken by LibreWolf. There are no other privacy add-ons that are necessary beyond uBlock Origin.
I mean, you can install them if you want, but they won't do anything.
The reason is most likely the same as it was for most Linux newcomers. They've used Windows for a long time, and aren't to the point where they are comfortable enough to cut Windows off entirely.
Unless you have a reason to keep Windows, for example some software you depend on that doesn't run under Linux, just get rid of windows. There's no real reason to keep it around if you don't need it for a particular reason.
Depends on whether you want lossless or lossy. For lossy, OOG Vorbis is the way to go if you want to support open source. If you don't care about that, WMA is a proprietary format alternative. Both WMA and Vorbis have better quality than MP3, with equivalent file sizes. I use Vorbis myself, because it's free.
If you want lossless, idk, because I don't fuck with that.
I mean, that's not a huge amount more than androids market share. And that's just the US, worldwide android has something like 70% market share. As long as it's dominating worldwide, it's not gonna die out in the US.
1.5Tb. I game on a Legion 5 laptop, and it came with 500gb for the OS. Then I slapped in a 1Tb ssd in the other slot. I don't play more than a couple games at a time, so that's way more than enough for me.
