What morality do you derive from creating competing works and throwing them out for free across from where someone is trying to make a living from similar product? -It’s what GPL is all about, and Linus and RMS both live high off the hog instead of living to their commie ideals -the same way communist leaders do.

Sure, some developers find ways to monetize their work, but many don’t and shouldn’t have to. The ones that do are also catering to the competition while pretending to be competition (like Firefox). -As such, they end up playing politics instead of being run like a business.

Gotta love the conspiracy theorist mindset that throws common sense out the window.

LG sells ~22–24 million TVs per year and ~25–35 million monitors per year

-Do we see a problem with that and ‘surveillance’ yet?

Perhaps read about all the garbage Linux puts out. -They don’t do the testing, QA, or slow roll outs that Windows does.

Do you even try to make sense?

Show me a AAA FOSS game. Even the FOSS games that come close had their engines donated. Professional production software like Adobe, Office, CAD - The industry runs on proprietary. Blender is probably the best thing you have, and it was practically donated too.

You’re making assumptions or just playing your propaganda game. You have nothing to add to the tech conversation.

The issue is more common in laptops and Valve’s new hardware uses a laptop mobo.

Maybe because Linux is known for poorer power and fan control. Imagine having issues before dust has even accumulated.

Typical LiGNUt that can’t defend Linux on technical merit.

And so far, the first report from someone I know that has one is that it’s overheating / redlining. -Sounds like a Linux issue.

Are you a dumb dumb or an idiot? Web serving is one of the simplest jobs a computer can have. -Why wouldn’t they choose the cheapest option? Wow… gonna block you because arguing with an idiot is a waste of time.

Data integrity is a hardware problem, not an OS problem.

The myth that Linux is stable enough that you don’t need ECC unless you’re running ZFS or a database is wrong. A flipped bit corrupts memory before the OS sees it.

-ECC protects the OS. The OS cannot protect itself.

Windows has the most aggressive consumer‑grade fault‑tolerance stack with WHEA, bad‑page retirement, PCIe AER recovery, GPU/driver subsystem restart, VBS integrity enforcement, core offlining, and memory poisoning.

-These features dramatically reduce crashes on unreliable hardware.

ECC is the only one to detect single‑bit errors, correct single‑bit errors, detect multi‑bit errors, and prevent silent corruption from propagating. It’s not ‘Linux stability’ - it’s literally ECC (which most consumer desktops and laptops don’t have)!

-Servers need ECC because server workloads demand correctness (and Linux doesn’t even try to deliver that because they don’t have to).

Cosmic rays, electrical noise, and manufacturing defects literally hit hardware, not software. -That famous blue screen in front of an audience during a Windows presentation? -Nothing to be ashamed about (but they could’ve used ECC)!

If the hardware lies, the OS has no way to know. Even Windows Server requires ECC. Enterprise Linux distros recommend ECC. It’s about physics: not the OS.

You do realize that Linux is intended to be run on ECC memory, while Windows has been built with many features to compensate and is therefore more resilient for almost all home users. Your anecdotes are funny because they lack all technical merit (typical Linux propaganda).

Even Linus Torvalds would shake his head at the nonsense LiGNUts put out there.

I’m sure it’s not counting those of us using the free version that comes with Windows.

The heat from use damages integrated parts equally. Laptops and phones are disposable and shouldn’t waste on modularity because when one part goes, typically the rest follow. Modularity adds bulk weight and can interfere with cooling. A lot of those modules can be replaced by cheaper, and more convenient specialty cables.

If I had to give up everything that doesn’t work on Linux, I wouldn’t bother having a computer. FOSS is commie garbage.

Which helps contribute to resale value which contributes to initial sale value.

In case you ever felt inadequate.

All the things that are easily disabled? -Sounds as foolish as having a distro for changing wallpaper, fonts and color scheme.

They do make a small profit off those phones, while you could’ve simply hit them where it counts with ad-blocking and tracker protection.

That doesn’t make kernel ABI stability irrelevant. Also, your statement was: 'The Linux Kernel is very stable in terms of API and even ABI."

Internal kernel ABI instability affects anything that depends on out-of-tree drivers (which games do). GPU drivers, input drivers, and certain middleware -all affected, and all can break games.
