  • Sure but at least from my experience if the desktop hardware doesn't support Windows we are already talking about a very obscure type of hardware that isn't going to be mass deployed to the general public that would affect this user agent statistic.

  • Not sure, but I’ll say that if you use ChromeOS, you’re much more likely to buy special hardware (Chromebooks) to run it on. Not many people download ChromeOS to run on their pre-existing computers.

    That is my point. Normal people are not downloading any OS and installing it on their computers. They are going to the local big box store or online store and buying a computer and using whatever that OS is preinstalled. In my neck of the woods those options are Windows, OSX and Chrome OS. There is no Linux computers at your local big box store. And I am sure you could find a Linux computer online if you specifically searched for it but Amazon is going to put the Linux computer on page 500 if you search for "Laptop"

    Valve’s Steam Deck comes with Linux by default

    Yeah the Steam Deck is the only thing the came to my mind that mainstream people would get that would have Linux pre-installed. However I can't imagine it is the steam deck is selling anywhere near the numbers to what Chrome OS computers are selling and also these numbers are based on web browsing. Are people using their steam deck to browse the web? I have a Steam Deck and yes Gaming is amazing on it however if I am being honest the desktop experience is terrible I don't know how they manage to make the on screen keyboard suck so bad. I would prefer browsing the web on my phone over the Steam Deck. The only way I would browse the web on the Steam Deck is if it was fully setup with a Mouse and Keyboard and External monitor.

    Granted this is all just based of my single experience and small corner of the world view point. Maybe Linux is poping off in other parts of the world like in India with a huge population base.

  • Hold on here how is Linux Desktop beating out chrome OS? Don't get me wrong I am totally onboard with Linux winning over chrome OS. But I just don't believe it.

    I can got to any local store right now and buy a Chrome OS computer. I can't say the same for Linux.

  • How does that work, does the downloader just cycling though seeding torrents or do they all stay active? I feel like there would be so much torrents over time it would slow everything down.

  • I don't like messing with people's computers settings. So any kind of bootable media is a no go for me.

    I personally just go with remote access to an always on system at my house. All I need is a web browser and Internet access and I am good.

    If your dead set on some portable stick of some kind. Why not just go with a small portable computer stick? You can just plug into an existing monitor keyboard and mouse and your on your own private system.

    Or another option less Linux is a Samsung smartphone. You can get HDMI adapters that will give you a full desktop experience using the phone. I played with it a handful of times and it seems to work.

  • My guess is it is for better simulations.

    I would think the safety protocols would make for an unrealistic simulation. Maybe changing gravity if someone fell of slowing down objects like a bullet to a gun. Or changing a knife somehow so it isn't deadly. They never really explained it as far as I can tell.

    But probably doesn't matter most if the time.

  • Except when it is not....

    For example Boost saves photo is some photo folder somewhere.

    The only way i can find anything is using a photo app and scanning my entire phone to find things.
