Another one bites the dust

But that's why I prefer early access. They already have something to show for the money and you get something more than an idea and a promise.

Indie movies (and indie games) are a breath of fresh air in the corporate hell world of the current entertainment industry.

Zero. Everything is done though Steam.

I played Forza Horizon 4 and 5 on Linux with no issues. But I give the laurels to Steam and Proton.

And they killed MSN for it.

When everything outpaces inflation, maybe we compute inflation wrong.

When you set it up you tell it which command you want. Default is "cdi" but I changed it to "cd" immediately.

My modelling is CPU bound as it's a model made in Fortran by physicists (me included). The fact is that I wouldn't get a 4x boost, and a model running overnight still would. When I actually need performance I use a 1000 cores compute cluster for multiple days, so that would never run on any consumer CPU anyways.

For the data processing, the real bottle neck is disk access and my scripting speed, so the CPU doesn't really need to be amazing.

Gaming, working (data processing, physical modelling).

The trick is to use a lower overhead OS than Windows.
