    Who could’ve thought that the thing Linux was worst for (gaming) would finally conquer Windows…

    Upd: why down votes? Am I wrong? My first Desktop Linux was Ubuntu 6.04 in 2006. Back then I could only dream of what we’re witnessing nowadays.

      I really thought it had dwindled for good after the failure of the original run of Steam Machines, feels great to be where we’re at now

      Good question. Maybe:

      1. Windows fanbois upset at the suggestion that Windows is starting to lose the game
      2. People in general objecting to the idea that single-digit install numbers is “conquering.”
      3. Greybeards upset at a trivial misuse of compute power (games) is evidently more influential than truly worthy uses, like interpreting ctrl-alt-shift-n and running some Lisp to indent some text.
      4. You’ve made powerful enemies…

      I’m just guessing. I have no idea; I upvoted your comment.
