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

>>107830342
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

There's a long way to get there. Valve doesn't even distribute a version of SteamOS for generic hardware, only builds for specific devices. There's a good reason for that I'm sure, it's probably difficult to actually ensure support and functionality across so many different devices and drivers. The amount of work would be huge so they're probably just focusing on a few things to make sure what they're making actually works as well as it can.

I wouldn't even be so sure that they actually want to be the ones offering something for generic hardware. Putting your name behind something means you need to support it and I'm not sure Valve actually wants to be accountable for desktop Linux working across such a wide variety of systems. I think they might prefer working on their own shit (Proton, DXVK, whatever) and releasing it so other distros can take it and offer the generic version instead.

I always hated macs UI from a usability standpoint. I swear to god steve jobs never wanted to move the window controls over to the right hand side to accommodate the majority right handed population because thats how microsoft does it. Same with the stupid ass dock and menu bar. The menu bar makes multitasking hard. Especially if you have multiple windows open of the same program like word or excel. And the dock feels like a half assed attempt at a windows task bar. Its funny how when microsoft ripped off the dock idea from apple they made it so much better. It feels like the entire macos was designed to give you tunnel vision. Where as windows was made for flexibility and easier switching between apps. Shit apple didnt even adopt a proper window tiling feature until recently. You had to hover over the green button and wait for the submenu to pop up.

I have a budget of maximum 50.

I have had sound magic before just earbuds were great but eventually the wire plastic wore away and one night they snapped.

I just watch videos and listen to music on a very cheap smartphone.

Would using usb c instead of the jack be a good idea?

Also I'm probably gonna get the epz q1 pro from the op.

What’s the proper way to measure your dict in bytes?

When you size up a dict, do you care more about how wide it is (number of entries) or how deep it goes (what each one holds)?

And when you need to unload the payload, do you dump it straight into a buffer, stream it somewhere else, or flush it to disk?

I've been thinking about procuring a ThinkVision portable display to go with it. I just don't fully have a use-case for it. So I hold off. I prefer to save versus being overly consumerist. I don't know. I guess it's a right tech for the job approach.

I cannot speak to that point. Although, my use of ten key on the shinobi is little. However, I would totally support Tex and procure any modular mechanical ten key unit, in the same ThinkPad style or aesthetic. I've seen a Targus and a Belkin stand-alone ten key, but it would have to match the shinobi. I might be a little consumerist if Tex released something like that.

I have a tab s9 and while i would still choose it over the ipad (purely from a specs perspective), if you have unlimited budget an ipad pro is better. also ipados has way more and better drawing apps. android has krita at least so it has the most powerful of drawing apps, but the UI hasnt been optimised for android yet.
