I always felt it was the gamer equivalent of audiophile grade speaker cables personally, but some people swear they can detect it.

Don’t forget the ultra audiophile who sources their own electricity to prevent the electrical grid noise from seeping into the audio

Oops, the code expired last night, sorry. You can select another game if you want to.

Also helping to cart all the monitors in was some good cardio, kinda miss moving 24" Sony Trinitron CRTs around

Kids will never know the pain. I remember that for a small time CRTs had the advantage over LCDs due to their higher refresh rate (75 Hz over 60 Hz) so pro players preferred CRTs.

Btw, you didn’t mention any game.

Check your DMs and confirm please.

Damn…it looks like my code expired last night. Sorry. If you want, you can choose another game.

I made a small mistake. I have both the Xbox and Microsoft Store version. Do you have a preference?

Sent. Check your DMs and let me know if it works

No one should tell you to leave an os if it works for you

I agree.

Some people have a special comfort with Windows AND telemetry, ads, bloat are not a concern for them. We should not try to force them to move.

It will be there eventually, but on Valve time. There isn’t any huge issue with what AMD is releasing

There are different clusters of users who don’t/can’t leave Windows.

• Don’t want to learn another OS at all (They are content with the Windows experience)
• Gamepass users. They enjoy the Netflix model of getting free games
• Multiplayer (with anti-cheat) gamers
• Don’t want to leave the Adobe suite/
• Uses programs which don’t have Linux equivalent

The Linux community has to understand that some of these groups cannot be moved to Linux no matter how much you improve the Linux experience.

As per Microsoft, they apparently saved 2 GBs of RAM by preventing productivity apps (bloat) from loading in their Big Picture mode. Now, it’s another entirely different thing about how they are handling CPU/VRAM for the games. Let’s see how that goes.

There was a Youtuber who showed that Windows is bloated, not because of background apps, but because of not using CPU properly (incorrect governor settings). The Youtuber used a script to set it right and windows got a boost in battery life. This kind of makes sense because I’ve seen none of the “bloat-free” Windows ISOs provide a significant performance boost over the standard OS.

There’s apparently a chunk of gamers who can’t leave Windows because of GamePass. However, I don’t know whether it’s a significant portion.

Apparently it will come to all desktops.

That right there is the reason. Trust her on this one.

It’s hard to make an old dog forget old tricks

Okay, this is great. I know about ujust but didn’t know it could even update the BIOS

Ooof. Really puts things into perspective
