Reminds of how Delta Heavy - Ghost got recommended to many people on YouTube recently, because the ever-present soulless algorithm detected people mentioning Clippy, engaging with videos mentioning Clippy, putting Clippies as their profile pictures, etc. - despite the fact that the entire Clippy surge is entirely against the endless data vacuuming and the algorithmisation of everything.

I really hate what data has become for the modern consumer at large - something’s everybody after to try and capitalize for, at an active disadvantage for you.

Cue the still growing thirst for more control, more data, more censorship.

He justifiably complained about PVP games having non-Linux-compatible kernel-level anti-cheat.

I’m tired of people conflating gaming as a whole to extremely mainstream titles that fit into “online PVP with malware anti-cheat” such as Apex Legends, Valorant, and Battlefield, and then bashing Linux for “poor gaming experience”.

Their experience with titles they enjoy is very valid, as valid as any other, but it’s not the entirety of gaming and OS experience, at all. There’s tons of games that run extremely well on Linux, even out of the box, no tinkering required, both on Nvidia and AMD hardware.

Grrr.
