N...not quite...

Jokes on you, dude is rocking Qubes /s

I think they should at least do an annual "Year of the Linux desktop!" episode!

I wouldn't say it has anything to do with the financial affluence of the gamer, but I agree with you that the vast vast majority of gamers simply do not care. Like with a lot of things, that same majority would be better off if they did.

That's the excuse used so they can charge you $18 for a burger, truth be told if you took some of the greedily hoarded profits alway from the franchise agreements and ownership cuts you'd be able to pay workers more and keep prices low. The ownership class just wants to have their cake and eat it too, which last time was forcibly ended with a shit ton of daggers (Rome) and guillotines (France).

They spit in the face of the value of the free knowledge, art, and society they've inherited tbh.

Which is why democracy is a failure without education.

They're like BMWs. Amazing to lease, don't ever buy.

You've got this! 🔥

Honestly you're spoiled for choice when it comes to cpus, anything you're looking at should for the most part "just work" as long as it's within the last 3-8 generations of cpus (I'd recommend the last 2, since they significantly improved power efficiency and you're going for a laptop). What you'll mainly want to consider is linux support for the system devices (wifi, etc, etc) which you can Google per model and robustness of the device (which is slightly subjective, but a 1.1lbs 5mm thick whatever is generally less robust than say a ThinkPad).

NTLM is enabled in some domain based environments. I have to enable it for several service accounts used for connecting legacy appliances. If it "works" Goodluck getting the business to upgrade.

It's abstraction all the way down?!
