it's been like that for the past 6 years or so? I remember falling back to a laptop because of video card spike because mining, then I said right I postpone another year for the build and the chip shortage came along. Then SSD/hard drive Then RAM Next thing they're pulling the rug off is going to be PSU and chassis and we're cooked

my crazy ass idea since 2015:

let's install mini data centers on residential buildings:

  • use excess heat to get hot water for pavement heating in winter and get hot water for domestic usage
  • buildings get free high speed fiber
  • local edge servers
  • employ local people for maintenance

cons:

  • management hell, but if small teams get split locally in quarters/towns then I don't see problems

we share the same superpower.

point it however, that is the nature of open source projects, just up to yourself willing to sacrifice time and hardware to test and integrate on your device.

I do feel what you're trying to convey and I completely understand since linux is my daily driver but I always had a dual boot setup for the occasional windows thing.

But my here's my 2 eurocents: if companies like Adobe (or Valve or whatever) had the grace to build their tools/utils/games for Linux the adoption would be far more widespread.

And the joke is, they would not invest time to build stuff for Linux because the Linux adoption is quite low compared to other platform. Linux does not have sub-par performance, it's just the software, for example all Stadia games were native games running on a custom Debian, with amazing performance and high FPS via streaming. Unthinkable to achieve the same with a Windows or a Mac OS

because we're in an era where there always will be a gold rush for a specific component. upgrades have slowed down considerably in the past 10 years, my laptop is 4 years old and still kicks like the first day, I still game on my 8 year old laptop which is permanently attached to the TV and running as a steam machine with more than decent performance.

this wasn't even thinkable in the 00's

I'm pretty sure after hard disks, GPUs, rams the next shortage is either Arm CPUs or a specific future type of PSUs
