What the fuck are we getting in return?

A third yacht for a billionaire

I meant that any update can bring issues, it's not "I installed and it works forever"

I use Bazzite at the moment, and it actually is that. No exaggeration.

And if an update doesn't work (hasn't happened to me in the 2 or 3 years I've been on Bazzite), ostree means rollbacks are instant and failsafe.

Bazzite also uses topgrade as the backend for its system update utility (just a "ujust" command), and it updates everything including flatpaks and firmware.

So it really is just one click to update everything and it never breaks.

I think it's time to update your knowledge... Especially regarding Ubuntu. Do yourself a favor and look into other distros.

Also curious what Windows programs. It's very rare, but on Bazzite if I open an exe, it automatically runs it in wine.

For games, just load the exe through Steam or use a launcher like Faugus with Proton.

Uh oh... Careful, you might lose entire days of your life.

How is losing the admin password related to the functionality of the OS in any way?

Oh please, pull the bar up from underground for Christ sake

Yeah it's a bit frustrating to see.

Buddy, I hate capitalism... But I also know how it works.

Valve has more than one revenue stream, that means that they can afford to take a loss on something like hardware because it usually means increased game and peripheral sales.

This isn't unique to Valve, Sony and Nintendo are well known for selling hardware at break even (or small loss). These are billion dollar corporations.

Can you really not grasp how simple minded it is to see the CEO of a company (for decades) buy an expensive yacht, and assume that must mean that this one specific product that's only a few years old, must have large profit margins? Despite literally all evidence saying the opposite?

That's just not how it works, dude. Just take a moment to think about what you're actually implying.

Is there any evidence that Europeans are better drivers than Americans? I'm not saying you're wrong, I've just never seen any kind of data about that.

Also I'm not sure where you got the idea that the US doesn't have sidewalks.

Edit you mean there are places in the US without sidewalks? Ya don't say!

Now overlay Europe over a map of the US to see just how much larger the US is. And then tell me that everywhere on the entire continent of Europe has sidewalks.

The person I replied to was suggesting that sidewalks are a rare thing in the US and that's absurd.

Can't be, Kelvin doesn't use degrees

And the Steam Deck was widely reported to have razor thin (if not negative) margins.

Do you not have a need to update it?

It literally does this for you.
