Simple Answer: No

The moment you need to think about what distribution you need to choose from is where it’ll stop any (dumb)user. Most people want a simple process with very little thinking.

If you are interested in learning linux and willing to take the time to understand the entire process that comes with it then yes.

Wish we could just implement some form of federal standards that are aimed towards protecting US citizens’ data instead of just banning a service like tiktok because “China bad”.

Gotta consider users on windows download random programs and blindly follow an installation wizard.

I can’t imagine Hamas being the sole reason behind this decision. Of course at face value it is but feels like they are taking this opportunity to do this for some other reason.

Terrible nonetheless but worried about what else is to happen due to this.

I sold phones for several years. ALOT of people have no idea how to do even the first step of what you said. The process was always sell, transfer, wipe, and turn in. Transfer would require a passcode many times while going through the process, and customers would often tell you it to make the process easier. From young to old, they all need help doing that “easiest” thing.

Waste of money. Why not compete with the switch/steamdeck? Make the remote play an option like you’ve done in the past. A digital ps5 is $400 and the portal is $200. I’m paying $600 and can’t take the device anywhere. Steamdeck starts at $400 and the switch is $300. Hell, I can install remote play on the steam deck and do the same thing the portal does. Sucks this is how sony is getting back into “portable” gaming.

All the drama started from this video

Gamers Nexus then made a video breaking down a bunch of issues with LMG

Linus responded 3 hours after GN posted their video.

The response was rushed and poorly made. Gamers Nexus the next day made a response.

Which made LinusTechTips push out a video addressing some of the concerns and what they are gonna do.

Then, an ex-employee came out, stating many of the issues they had with the company.

LinusTechTips on twitter (or x i guess?) stated they are looking into it.

Philip Defranco summarizes everything within 10 minutes and includes a couple of questions they asked LMG. I thought he did pretty well, so its alot better than spending several hours looking into everything.

It’s funny how everyone said they would give up on netflix once the whole password sharing was tossed out, but here we are with netflix hitting higher numbers and no one leaving. Every streaming service out there is gonna follow the same practice since it’ll make them more money. If you dont agree with how they are doing things, then leave. It’s the only way to influence their decisions.

Installing Windows is easy, but once something goes wrong, troubleshooting becomes more challenging. You have an error code? Yeah, well, try these 100+ things that are the same things you gotta try with every other error code out there. None of those things worked? Well, reinstall windows that should fix it.

Granted, I have plenty of experience with linux at this point to where I won’t stress when something fucks up but ive dealt with my fair share of windows issues as well. The majority of the time, I end up reinstalling windows…

I get it, the usual person wouldnt want to tinker much but I was able to get remote play on my steam deck and run god of war ragnarok with little to no issue. Dont see why they dont just make their own version to compete and have the remote play as another feature.

Pure capitalism allows many to abuse the system and that results in what we have today here in the us. Overtime politicians have continued to do patchwork to simply get by for the next one to take over and scrap whatever agenda the previous one had in play. Which makes the problems worst and in turn takes longer to address.

We need both legislation and accountability for alot of things but it seems to be impossible to get both of those things. Hell, I dont care that your rich. Just dont bring everyone down with you when you take that one gamble and it causes everything to crash!

The judge.

Leaves everything behind to become this great lawyer but when the unfortunate happens he has to go back and come to terms with what he thought was once lost.

Not sure why I keep watching it but I do enjoy how it develops.

Depending on how you look at it then yes its not free. Though you could use something like Libretube to prevent both ads and any form of analytical data from being collected.

Though other alternatives like revanced manager prevent ads and give premium benefits. Not sure about the analytical instance of it though.
