- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 2 days ago:
Linux needs nothing to succeed. It just needs to wait and be there while the big corporations continue to fuck up their systems all on their own.
The recent surge in Linux use from the Windows 10 deprecation and Windows 11 being annoying proves that.

I mean companies could probably already create perfectly good kernel level anticheat on Linux if they really wanted to through eBPF programs.
That would not require permanent changes to the Kernel and games would only need root rights at install time. (Like most software already does)
I wouldn’t even have a problem with that kind if a solution.

If you have a look at phoronix.com (probably the best linux news site) you can find loads of articles on linux gaining 0.2% of performance in some superspecific workload.
The Linux performance is what happens when thousands of people do these kinds of micro improvements for decades.
In comparison Windows is what happens if everyone follows the new cool trend and tries to lamd the next big thing.

- Comment on Phones may come without bundled USB cables in the future, if OEMs have their way 2 months ago:
Really you linked article is not very good in my opinion. It just recounts some common ‘wisdom’ without providing any actual data.
Sure, if you got scammed and your cable is not actually a functioning cable, then anything can happen.
However that does not change the fact that any USB-C cable has to support 60W charging.
