Too many games are Windows only

Very few are these days with the enormous amount of resources Valve has been pouring into Proton. The only truly Windows-only games I have encountered were online multiplayer with anticheat and that was almost always because the developer chose not to support Linux (e.g. EAC, Rust) and not for lack of support for Linux.

Perhaps that wouldn't happen if more people switched...

those are the vast majority of games that people play

and people won't switch if there is no way to switch, it's like asking people to go on a hunger strike

Speak for yourself, there are hundreds of thousands of people playing games that do not fall into this category on Steam right now.

This hasn't been the case for at least half a decade. Most games run perfectly fine if not better on Linux. The only exceptions are purposely broken remote rootkit "anticheat" gsmes which no sane person would want on their system anyway.

With the exception of multiplayer games with invasive anti-cheat measures, a very large number of games works very well on Linux now with Wine/Proton. When using Steam this mostly works just out of the box without fiddling.

This is why I own a playstation

Because your PlayStation couldn't possibly be spying on you?

Because my playstation spies on my games, not my whole life. It's limitation of scope.

I guess for that you could have a Windows machine just for gaming. No need to deal with the trade-offs of that come with using a console (if that matters to you).

Not having a windows machine is one of the benefits of not having a windows machine! Using a console for gaming is cheaper, more secure, and more reliable then using a windows machine. The only downside is i don't have access to the wide ocean of steam and gog releases, but it's a fair trade as far as I'm concerned.

Though that would likely be a bit more expensive, or if cheaper it might be by compromising on GPU performance.

the kids don't call it that. only grown men in the bay area call it that.

You can use the opencode subscription plan with other agents if you wish. They allow it

I have used it in gh copilot to some success, before the pricing changes. Thanks for the reminder.

Finally, they face consequences for their IPO pump fear mongering rhetoric

Correct. And tire dust increases because electric vehicles are usually heavier

For semis this is irrelevant, as the GVWR is pretty much the same so EV mostly means you get limited on payload weight: in the US the feds increase GVWR limit by 2000 lbs (from 80k to 82k) for EV semis, but not every state has legalised that, and it's barely noticeable (EU has a much more aggressive bye, from 40 to 44 tonnes).

I doubt that's the case in America where gas-powered cars (/ trucks) are also huge and heavy.

A Model 3 weighs less than a Ford 150.

And a mini cooper weighs less than a semi. The thread you are in is about Semis.

The inconvenient truth might be that the other models score higher than OLMO because they aren't restricted to purely "open and accessible" training data. Who knows what private or ethically dubious data went into training Mistral or llama, for example.

Exactly. If we really wanted to benchmark the various models on the merits of their individual implementations, we should be comparing them all on the same open dataset.

That was primarily because the face id sensor stack is too thick to fit in the laptop lid

The point being that they think they need those sensors in order to create a secure system.

Apple's marketing team must be so good if they can convince HN users that an iPad is a suitable replacement for a "real" computer. No one who knows what a terminal or root access even means should be fooled by this.
