Hey I’m grump!
I’m not so gruuuump!
And we’re the artifically intelligent poor mans recreation of the game grumps!
Hey Dan.

I am the boy of video games. I am made of win! Check out my 12 fingers!
Wow Arin! That’s cool! I have 45 lbs of afro!

I might be part of the problem. I bought a PS5 years ago, thinking GTA6 was close to being released.
Turns out no.
But what I’ve discovered is that with how the gaming industry has gone, I don’t see any need to buy games anymore.
I’m sick of games being an online focused experience, which requires subscription costs.
I’m sick of every game needing a multiple deluxe collectors editions that are the only way to play the full game, but cost $200 each and come with cheap plastic junk “collectables” to justify the cost.
“But you won’t get the super rare coin and lapel pin if you don’t get the collectors edition!”
“Thats fine. Just sell me the full game at $60.”
“The full game requires the collectors edition. But it comes with this lapen pin and rare coin!”
“How many copies of the collectors edition are there?”
“About 2 million.”
“So, not exactly rare, is it?”
Welp. Certainly can’t argue with any of that. I’ve said the same thing myself on many of your points.
Let me get this straight. When you think of the “linux experience”, you think of refridgerators, air fryers, and vacumes. Your words. That’s your mental image of Linux.
While at the same time discrediting the desktop experience as “a tiny specific section of computer hardware”.
Now personally, I think Android SHOULD be counted as Linux. I’ve even asked why there isn’t a Linux distro that’s just Android for the PC. However, whenever I ask that question, instead of anyone answering legitimately, I get told that’s not what Linux is.
And the sad thing is, I think that would BLOSSOM the Linux userbase on PC. The power supply on my PC died a month ago, and before I found a bandaid solution, I was using my phone in dex mode for two weeks. It was a flawed but decent experience. The type of experience that would be a lot better if it were more common. But it’s not. People just don’t use their phones as PC replacements like I did for 2 weeks.
So me reading your reply, it’s obvious to me that everything you’re saying is a strawman arguement. What’s not obvious is if YOU realize how much of a strawmans arguement it is.
Seriously. You used air conditioners to justify numbers of Linux marketshare. Hang on. I gotta do some photo editing. Let me go grab the dehumidifier and run GIMP on it!
Um…when it comes to desktop OS’s, they ARE the top, and always have been.
And even if you remove windows entirely, Apple becomes number one. Not Linux.
Last I checked, the highest Linux as a desktop usershare ever got was something pathetically small like 5%
And the reason for this is Linux developers design their OS as if the user knows what they’re doing.
Windows designs their OS as if the user is clueless.
So users who know how to use their computer, use Linux. And idiots use Windows. Well it turns out the world is full of idiots.
I tried explaining how to install a program in terminal to someone who’s never touched linux.
“sudo apt install program”
And her response was “ooooh, no no no no no! That’s too much for all that! Ain’t nobody got time fo’ all dat!”
I have no idea which OS she’s using these days. Haven’t talked to her in years.
But if I had to bet my life savings, I’d bet she’s still never touched Linux.
I’ve said it a million times. The year of linux will come 5 years AFTER a distro is released which not only holds the users hand, but handcuffs it. Does EVERYTHING for the user, so the user never ever ever ever has to even know how to do anything. Update a driver? They don’t even know how to do it in windows! You think they’re going to try their hand at updating kernals and such in Linux?
How big is the torrent, and where do I download from?
“So a man and his injured wolf walk into a bar. Stop me if you’ve heard this one…oh, wait. Sorry, not actually a joke. I was actually reading news headlines…”
C’Mon…start living up to your username! Global apocalypse for all!
He had many feelings on an Island too. I don’t like it when trump has feelings…
…ya know? If trump just nuked all of earth, and everybody died? At least I don’t have to worry about my non-existant retirement plan.
Sorry. You gotta go to jail now. Your toddler grabbed a juicy juice box from your smart refridgerator without being 18+.
Thats my plan.
Feels weird upvoting this comment. I have to remind myself. It’s not you I’m mad at. You’re not the one doing this. You’re just the messanger.
Right???
They could have joined in, threw snowballs at some kids, and nobody would complain. They’re snowballs. As long as they’re not grey, brown, or yellow, there’s no issue. You’d think the cops would LOVE this game! It’s the one time where whites only is an accepted rule! (The snowballs, not the people).
Instead, you have a bunch of cops crying that they had snowballs thrown at them.
The fuck???
If these guys are going to be babies about snowballs, I don’t want them protecting the streets! Imagine if there were an actual dangerous situation! What if there were a building with a gunman shooting kids in a school with a gun? Would they just stand back and not engage?

Me: Using 11 year old PC. Originally rjnning Windows 7. Now running ZorinOS.
I don’t particularly like linux, but…
looks at Windows 10…11…now 12…
Yeah, fuck that dumpster fire.
It trump was anointed by jesus, I feel validated in my past 35 years of being an athiest.
You’re both wrong.
It’s because it’s a distraction from Epstein. You’re not talking about how trump rapes children. If we go to war, that becomes the focus. No longer putting pressure on trump over how trump rapes children. See, I have to keep typing trump rapes children, because society seems to have the memory of a goldfish, and have forgotten that trump rapes children.
Now, view every action he’s done since taking office, and underatand understand that EVERYTHING is a distraction from trump raping children.
Now don’t forget this time, ok?
Second Elephant in the room: trump.
Nothing specific about him. Just calling him an elephant.
The consumer market will care. They’ll just be priced so far out of the market, it’ll be unrealistic of them to ever hope to buy one.
