Will this kill Windows and make Linux the most popular OS?

It itself won't because gaming is a niche hobby. But there's a culmination of multiple things that will. Windows is a collapsing platform.

Most governments are replacing Windows with Linux and sometimes Mac machines because of privacy concerns and the current hostility of the US towards most of the globe. Many corporations are doing the same. Corporate and government machines abandoning Windows will cost Microsoft billions over the next decade.

China will be the first country to move away from Windows entirely. Not just the government but they're also forcing all local businesses to abandon Windows within the next 2 years. Personal devices will likely still be allowed to run Windows, but China is very quick to develop alternatives and spread them to their population. Deepin Linux already exists, while Harmony OS is also a decent consumer grade OS at the moment since most people don't actually need Windows-exclusive or Android-exclusive software. The platform is less than 8 years old and they've already created around 100k-300k applications for it. Not to mention that Deepin has access to Wine and Waydroid, while HarmonyOS also has multiple Android emulators. So there won't be a massive loss of platform exclusive software.
As soon as businesses, schools and government offices switch away from Windows most of the regular citizens will quickly follow simply because it makes no sense using multiple different operating systems (people prefer consolidation).
>>
>>107833720 cont:

Russia will probably do something similar. Especially considering the US is fucking them over right now by removing Russian influence from various countries. The only problem with Russia is the fact that it's actually not a very rich country (they're also terrible at budgeting). So they're far less likely to completely wipe Windows in the next decade, compared to China which will definitely do it.

Many places in EU and Australia have already ditched Windows entirely and retrained staff to use Linux. The EU has started to look into developing and funding open source software and pushing FOSS or EU software as a standard. Many schools, libraries and colleges are already using Linux in EU (mostly Ubuntu). And if you're a kid who is only exposed to Linux, you're more likely to prefer it when you're getting a computer of your own. Many prebuilt computers and laptops in EU already come with Ubuntu and this has been the case for at least a decade. So, Windows will possibly become a minor OS in the EU within the next 20-40 years, especially among younger generations.
However, the US isn't treated as an entirely hostile force yet so the migration might be slower. The only thing that could truly "kill" Windows in the EU would either be Google with it's Android desktop OS (assuming the hardware it's on isn't as shit as Chromebooks were) and Apple (assuming Apple starts making budget laptops).

The US will very likely be the last and only place where Windows still dominates in around 15-30 years.

What i really don't get is why normies are so fixated on the idea of SteamOS when the improvements valve make work for just about every distro.

Maybe it's the idea that the distro has a reliable backer, rather than some volunteer project like most?

i dont pre-order anything, i wait til it has a real launch and proper stock
i waited on the minimal phone because it turns out the camera sucks shit and genuinely looks worse than the camera on my cat s22 flip
which is important because i need it for mobile check deposits

that thing keeps advertising that its a companion phone which is comical, the keyboard is cool but without the software to back it up it will be near useless, people forget that about keyboard phones from back in the day
my old kyocera sanyo 2700 from 2009 had amazing text prediction and shortcut features ootb which made typing out texts on it super fast and fluid

In 15 years the future will be us living in dense studio rooms constantly entertained by ai generated content in a headset that can fullfill your every wish. You can be cool kid in high school, a hero in a japanese anime isekai or a ww2 spy in nazi germany. If ur considering killing yourself wait at least a decade until virtual reality plus brain computer interfaces and generative AI converge into best thing humanity made. You will have heaven on earth


most of us are ugly loser incels who probably missed out on our youth. Never felt kiss of a girl or a friend that actually cares. But in a decade plus you can have friends who love you, girl who is infatuated and all ur desires granted.Im just crying realizing that heaven is only a decade away and anons don't understand this. Our god is AGI and he will create a virtual safe heaven better than any heaven human religion could think of. So plz until god descends onto this mortal realm to release us of our suffering endure it cause eternity of bliss awaits you

Nonhuman cattle can't see why it's bad at all. Actual humans with moderate intelligence can see why it's bad but they're missing the big picture.

If you do it while the OS is running then the backup will probably be invalid anyway, so no change there.
If you do it from a live environment or disk attached to another computer then SELinux won't be active anyway, so no change there either.

Should I keep the Oppo Find X9 Pro CN version I got and sell the Xiaomi 15 Ultra I was planning to replace it with?

My dumbass got the CN version which means the phone is kinda filled with Chinese although after tweaking it a bit I got all of it out at least in the home screen, the only Chinese stuff I can think of now must be the AI and in the settings

I don't have google discover news and neither pull down search because both of them were in Chinese

Everything else seems to be fine

any suggestions? i don't want to use the secondary pcie slot. my current gpu works fine in the primary pcie slot. i tried setting it to gen 3 and gen 4 instead of auto too with the 5090 and that didn't work (afaict the secondary pcie slot only goes to gen 3)

How do I convert from .wav to MPEG audio Layer 1?

shows layers 2 and 3, but I don't see layer 1. Does ffmpeg simply not support .mp1 at all? I thought ffmpeg was meant to support everything.

Why? Not that I need it but even Genera made a lot of use of the mouse and was anything but minimal.

>>107833647
Lisp is not the antithesis of Unix minimalism. Only reason it feels like that is because Common Lisp and the like are basically full environments, and we run each program in their own environments. If you just have an image with the stuff you want already in it it's fairly minimal. I guess a good comparison would be having to ship the "OS" with every binary because you're running it in a different OS hostile to it. Also you have stuff like Guile/GUIX which are very Linux (I guess not Unix)

Anybody see the NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar? I have been waiting for something like this since the days of CRT came to an end. Will it be worth the hype? Do you guys think AMD is working on open-source alternative?
