i want a game parlour, filled with bazzite pc's
JThey mostly have consoles and a few PCs
It's mostly a place to hang out with friends here
It's mostly a place to hang out with friends here
Wand a lounge for the deckers
Kwe had some places try netcafes here, but they failed hard. we've had good home internet for ages
JThat's gonna be nice
JWe have good internets but not PCs to play games on. India is majority a phone gaming market
KFor all I know thats common here now, I'm too old to know and my kids have dumbphones until they're 13.
Kand even then they're gonna be locked down.
KI know what I did at that age, I don't need my kids doing that stuff. 
Kphone gaming for me is offline single player games. Currently playing FF9 and Potion Permit.
Wmy parents only ever had a pc (they didn't allow consoles and it was before smartphones), so that's how my interest in all things pc developed
JW parent moment. For some reasons parents here give their kids smartphones and after a couple yrs complain that the kids are addicted to the smartphone
KWe specifically chose to not do to 'toss a tablet at the kids to distract them' parenting thing.
Wlet them use a tool not a toy
JFor me I got my first PC around 2009. It was fun times with windows 7
JIt was a family laptop
Kthey both get PC time if they want to play games, but only my son really uses it.
Wi remember being 6 years old and showing my neighbor how to use windows 3.1
KMy first PC was a 386 w/ 4mb RAM.
JThis pattern checks out actually. My sis also does not use the PC much
JI had a supercomputer then. It was 500GB HDD, 512mb amd GPU with 4GB ram and 2 core cpu
KWhat's weird is, my daughter loves doing outdoor stuff, camping, hunting, my boy doesn't. He's a nerd and hates bugs, and bugs are outside. 
JYour neighbours asked for help with their PCs then?
Wmy parents were both programmers, and i think they didn't want to help so they sent me
KMan lol I could only wish at that time. Starting Xfree86 on 4mb RAM took like 5 mins.
JWhat was xfree86?
KWhen I upgraded to a 486 DX4-100mhz and 8mb RAM laptop, X became usable.
KThe progenitor to Xorg (X11)
JOooo
JOh wow
KXorg forked from XFree86 when the XF86 dev changed the license
Wi just got terminator chills
JLol
KXFree86 is an implementation of the X Window System. It was originally written for Unix-like operating systems on IBM PC compatibles and was available for many other operating systems and platforms. It is free and open source software under the XFree86 License version 1.1. It was developed by the XFree86 Project, Inc. The lead developer was Davi...
JUnix was a proprietary software right?
Ktl;dr ". In February 2004, XFree86 4.4 was released with a change to the XFree86 license, by adding a credit clause,[23] similar to that in the original BSD license,[24] but broader in scope. The newer terms are referred to as the XFree86 License 1.1. Many projects relying on XFree86 found the new license unacceptable,["
KUNIX, yes. FreeBSD and Linux, no. They're 'UNIX-like'
JDid you try dual booting windows nt with Unix/linux in that time?
JUnix for work and windows for dangerous dave
KNo, I've basically mainly run Linux since 1993 or so. I have on occasion kept a windows PC for some games but stopped doing that once World of Warcraft started working semi-reliably in WINE, but I hate dual booting in general and won't do it.
KI'd rather just have a second device entirely if needed. Like, I own a Mac for work for instance, but it's ONLY for work.
Kironically, Wow works perfectly on Linux these days but I don't play it anymore. But I met my wife on it, so I guess it served it purpose
Aspeaking of mac, it would be great if handheld can use arm and get actually good battery life
Whopefully arm pans out for windows
KLTT did a stream yesterday of Qualcomm X elite vs Intel in games and Snapdragon wasn't great
Kthere's lots of growing to do
Krn its basically 'half your games probably won't work but battery life will be decent'
Wa LOT of growing, apples silicon isn't even ready for gaming
KEh. Apple Silicon runs the games it does pretty well
