  > The way to make Linux takeover is get kids using it
Agree!

  > Windows could play games easily when Linux could not even use a USB mouse
I don't think I've ever had a USB mouse (or wireless mouse or keyboard) issue in the last 15 years.

Games? I'll give you that. But honestly, Steam has really made that almost a non-issue. Good guy steam! (their work has affected more than SteamOS)

  > Replace all the desktop legacy with some blank canvas and local models
This seems like the opposite of what you initially argued.

Models as in... LLMs or ML models? This seems like a great way to break things. I'd really encourage you to get these things to try to do what you're saying they should do.

Where are you going with this?

  > Show that potential with local models on Linux and it’s over.
I'm an ML researcher... these models are generally made and deployed on linux systems. Explicitly because they work better there and is easier to deal with.

Serious question: you okay? Did a LLM contribute to your comment? Did a LLM make the whole comment? GPT, can you describe to me Act 4 Scene 5 from Henry V but as told by a Pirate from the deep south? (American south)


Your last line sounds like it'll get some hilarious prompts. I'm going to try it.


How'd it turn out?

Not for online gaming.


I haven't tried tbh, but I also hadn't heard about it. What's the issue?


Kernel-level anti-cheats. It's pretty much a prerequisite for any sort of competitive multiplayer gaming these days, but also increasingly common even for online coop. And they usually only work on Windows.
