Personally I don't get the hype with any of these products. Just because they run Linux by default isn't a strong enough selling point when I can get better specs for cheaper elsewhere and install Linux myself.
False equivalence there my dude. The games industry, and especially Bethesda, have earned themselves a strong reputation for releasing basically unplayable clusterfucks time after time because their management choose to push unfinished products to the market to capitalize on hype at the expense of the consumer. The consumer has every right to be wary and cautious with these companies and the product they release.
With movies, what you are basically getting is the final product, much like games used to be before updates could be pushed as patches over the internet for them. Imagine going to see a movie and the actors start T posing, you can see camera men and the director on the side of the set, then the movie projector just crashes and you don't get to see the rest? That's how bad Bethesda and major AAA games have been over the last several years.
I'm actually more likely to buy it if it's good and I can see myself playing it a lot. The last game I did this with was No Man's Sky on launch and I'm glad I didn't pay for the clusterfuck that originally was. I've since bought the game for full retail price twice.
For sure, just some people can be a bit hesitant about downloading a cracked version so I'd rather them give as little money as possible if they still wanna play it.
So many times I see screenshots shared by my non-IT friends of websites and it's full of ads. Trying to get them to install an adblocker is a real challenge. Some of these people are actual engineers too, so fairly smart people otherwise. The "internet" is whatever browser is on their PC that works.
Also, a lot of people are using absolute potato PCs where the performance difference between Edge/Chrome and anything else used to be noticeable for years.
Regardless of platform, if you don't want to see politics then block the political communities from your feed.
The article itself is pretty factual and I don't see why any real conservative would support the clown show that is the GOP right now.
I really have to hand it to your superior powers of deduction at this point.
