You're gross

Clearly PoS is the right description

Not ethical, yes pos

I think the new Wayland fork will fix that

Hey hold on, I also hate Ubuntu because of how awful gnome is. Can't blame everything on snap!

I guess I'm confused by your fundamental point though: if we aren't looking for raw processing power on a range of workloads, what is the technology you see them winning in?

Why not reserve that frothing at the mouth hatred for something that deserves it.

Id guess because I selected single processors and many of the xeons are server oriented with multi socket expected. Given the original post I'm responding to I'm more concerned by desktop grade (10-40k pts multi core) than server grade.

The point of the chart is that it alternates over a wide performance range, there isn't a blanket winner between the company that can't figure out security and the company that can't figure out thermals.

Caddy certainly was the easier option but it's as complex as nginx now and id argue it's hard to to use.

It's actually n-jynx duh

This is the most open time period for hardware as far as options go since like, the 90s. Microsoft isn't taking away options.

This is obviously insane

It's not hard to set up if you already have sufficient baseline technical knowledge to feel comfortable copy-pasting the right commands from the Internet with hope that you don't brick your computer (which ironically fedora or opensuse kinda did although I eventually found out how to work around the failure which makes my laptop permanently unable to use an older version of Linux lololol).

Arch was really easy to set up, I followed tutorials for fedora from fedora which never worked, and opensuse worked until a power outage then never again. So easy. So simple.

Secureboot with shim is the easiest, the arch (/standalone) way seems to work better and more securely since it's my own keys, but again depends on feeling a lot of unearned confidence. Some distros like Ubuntu and suse include mechanisms for secureboot, others do not, hence hit or miss.

Tldr I know what you're telling me, and from my pov and experience none of that changes what I said for the average "go on, try Linux, you'll like it" user.

Interesting, thanks for the links I'll take a look

Yeah was thinking about that (edited to add immediate) -- games are certainly background loading nowadays but the stuff needed is intended to be in ram by the time it's needed, afaik.

For sure I'm just saying i'd guess that's because at play time you're loading everything into ram. For bulk loading I would encryption perf follows the general use case.

(Tldr encryption shouldn't matter for games)

That's quite a take given the source of most current end to end encrypted messaging algorithms.

But also, whooosh

It's a real challenge to get a fully encrypted system with secure boot (easier now but still hit or miss with Linux) and tpm.

What you're describing is the user level security model which is as you said restrictive enough to be annoying, and more controlled than windows.

Edit: undid autocorrect from user level to user never 🙄
