What would the world would be like if Linux users used a search or co-pilot.

Without Windows you wouldn’t have Windows gaming. The Linux Kernel is unfavorable to game developers because of its instabilities (ABI/API) -and that’s not counting all the fragmentation after the fact. Linux users are cheap (more likely to pirate), more likely to cheat in online games, more likely to review bomb over stupid things, and more likely to demand refunds. -They don’t even develop for Mac ffs, and they have far more market share than Linux. Developers would migrate fully to consoles and full stack devices (like phones, Haiku, Mac, iPhone).
Windows market share will decline because normal people are moving to devices. A smart phone is far safer to do banking on, especially compared to Linux. The change in % (if real) will simply be a decline in Windows, not an increase in Desktop Linux adoption.
Proton isn’t solving those problems. What you’re experiencing is Valve quietly patching, shimming, overriding and replacing broken Linux code for Steam. (Not ‘helping’ Linux: they’re helping themselves)
It’s a disservice to Windows users to also charge them 30% when they bend over backwards coddling Linux gamers who are more likely to complain, review bomb, and pirate. -But they make it up in the word-of-mouth sales (the vocal minority) that saved that Steam Deck from being the total disaster it should’ve been.
Valve is helping to destroy native Linux gaming, and the relationship they have with the Linux evangelists is fragile.

24·14 days agoI’m well aware of the anti-work, loud vocal minority, dunning Krüger’s, and Lemmy at least shows the upvotes along with the cope votes.
Thanks for the support!

244·15 days agoGonna ignore the sad attempts at rebuttal by someone that appears to be out of touch with reality (shunning social interactions?).
Where I live? -It’s replacing depressed and lonely artists and writers. -That shit often isn’t healthy or a good way to get human interaction / attention. Engineer? -Can be high stress with lives on the line, it will also be a waste of time / schooling for many. (You’re also arguing for their accuracy here). Enter productivity sooner: retire sooner. The other jobs you mention are high pay that grunt and migrant workers can profit from.
People that compare their wealth against a billionaire don’t realize that the billionaire is inspired and the wealth benefits all in capitalism. Neither pure capitalism nor communism succeed. China isn’t pure communism.

Video games are worse and get worse as they run 100% constant and are constantly evolving, not short bursts or getting more efficient over time like AI

Localized

More accurate than humans -especially humans on social media
-
AI is replacing shitty jobs; just like machines did in the industrial revolution

530·15 days agoLemmy despite having major advantages over Reddit, appeals more to conspiracy theorists, or contrarians. -People who read click-bait headlines and not the actual articles. People that like simplified explanations for things: “AI is bad for the environment”: **not ** "AI is getting more efficient and uses short bursts of processing (for simple questions or images), while computer gaming gets worse and runs 100% constant, and has the same toll on ram scarcity and environmental issues.
So, they gobble up all the negative headlines and parrot the anti-AI propaganda they’re fed.

That doesn’t make kernel ABI stability irrelevant. Also, your statement was: 'The Linux Kernel is very stable in terms of API and even ABI."
Internal kernel ABI instability affects anything that depends on out-of-tree drivers (which games do). GPU drivers, input drivers, and certain middleware -all affected, and all can break games.
