The no1 reason to self-build is to save money. Obviously, this thing isn't going to appeal to that crowd. For a pre-built, this price isn't crazy. And the performance is fine for 1080p/1440p gaming.
So if you're the kind of person who knows the GPU nomenclature by heart, you probably won't buy this, but I still expect the thing to sell-out by virtue of being Valve.
I'm rooting for Valve's success because that means wider Linux adoption.
Tucker Carlson's job is to get his name in the press. He used to be a somebody, now he says things on podcasts you've never heard of to get attention. The real question is: what is MTG doing this week?
Ever notice how the countries who are the most pro-Israel are the same countries that restricted Jewish immigration during the holocaust? We never talk about how Jewish immigration to Palestine means they're not immigrants to England or the US.
Maximum freedom to post any topic without restrictions
This does not exist. There are many "topics" that automatically exclude others. A sub that tolerates fascism automatically excludes people of moral conviction or rational thought for example.
If you just want somewhere you can act out without criticism, I would recommend a chatbot.
Humor is a common coping mechanism people use to deal with horrible truths. Global warming is not a tone issue.
And it's ironic to give a scolding lecture about how people are acting superior.
One of the biggest Windows habits I've had to break is using file explorer to open documents and files. This was because memorizing file paths is way faster than using search. Search in Windows has never been good, because it's always been weighted toward what Microslop wants you to find. And the index goes to shit if a user does something unexpected like saving, moving, or deleting files.
Linux search just works. If I know the file name, there is no reason to open a file explorer at all. Just mash the power key and start typing.
People who get vexed over gender in character creation are the same people bound to get really upset when watching a movie trailer.
This is clickbait. Having hibernation and writing 32GB of RAM to the SSD are not "Windows 11", but standard behavior on any OS with hibernation.
In my experience, the fragility and unreliably of M.2 and SSD has been greatly overstated.
Using 'woke' as a pejorative has a long history in conservative discourse. Before that, it was called 'politically correct' and before that it was called 'bleeding heart'.
It all means the same thing: that liberals pretend to care about marginalized people as a cynical ploy to get/keep power.
The reason this insult has such lasting power is because it's apt.
I gave up on playing chess. The game has become such a metaphor, such a fetish symbol for intellect, so every dude "knows how to play", but won't risk the humiliation of loss, and therefore won't play. I don't enjoy online chess, so I just don't get to play.
This is true! Ignorance of Linux is the no1 reason people don't adopt it. This is doubly hard for Window-brains because the concept of choosing an OS is foreign to them. From their perspective it's your boss, your school, or your parents who choose your OS.

There was a nurse in a fertility clinic who was an addict and replaced the fentanyl drip with saline. Multiple women experienced agony during the procedure for extracting eggs. That procedure was to insert a huge syringe into the vagina, through the vagina wall, into the ovaries to suck up some eggs.
Many women experienced this with no pain medication at all and their complaints, even their screams were dismissed. Needless to say, when the addict nurse was discovered, they felt pretty silly.
Doctors have incredible tolerance for the suffering of women.
