    Honestly, it’s about damn time.

    These technical people should be ashamed it took them so long to adopt Linux.

      This literally doubles (if not more) the workload to run these benchmarks, not to mention having to write new automation procedures and Steve just not being familiar with Linux at all, all for 2-3% (tops) of his audience.

      Be glad that he is doing them in the future and don’t be a demanding, entitled prick.

        Yeah, that’s the problem. Just like with LinusTechTips, these youtubers aren’t half as knowledgeable as they’d like their audiences to believe.

        They should be ashamed, and you should stop being being a simp.

        entitled prick.

        Grow the fuck up.

      Sometimes you gotta be realistic that the majority of the population wouldn’t have found Linux as friendly as many here are, even today, while Windows or is/was kinda the obvious mainstream choice for running any software… The balance seems to tip slowly, but honestly it took decades.

      Even today you’re still all debating which distro that didn’t exist 10 years ago is the best, and which office suite can match Microsoft’s… How am I going to convince my non-nerd friends to use Linux over Windows in that context.

      About gaming, it’s a matter of being able to run AAA games without issues, like, no bugs and anti-cheat problems. It’s only since SteamOS that it is getting enough programmers and mainstream attention.

      This is the way, but once again it required the power of a dominant company to move the lines.

      Let’s put that in a way that isn’t so off putting. It’s the duty of those in the know help those who are not when possible.

          I do not want to live in such a world. Helping others, especially when it is at little to no cost to you should be common sense to everyone.

          I will strive towards making the world such a place, and I implore everyone, including you, to make the world a better place for everyone - including you.

          Ah, the RTFM argument. So you didn’t go to school, did you? You picked up a book and just started educating yourself?

          If what you’ve chosen to learn could help someone right in front of you, and they’re asking for help, you do not feel compelled to help them? I doubt that.
