Absolutely this. Relatively quick and clean, no messing with installation or reconfiguration. That is, assuming your data isn't completely corrupted and the old drive doesn't just outright fail during transfer... But if that happens you were screwed to begin with.

Dark thick beer can also work in place of cocoa, in my experience.

Compatibility is unlikely to be very different. The key is immutability (easy to update, hard to brick your system) and some baked in nice to haves for gaming like some specific drivers/patches and controller support out of the box.

Cheaper than Spotify for the number of users it gives you (at least where I live) and the app itself has functioned significantly better than Spotify's has in my experience so far while not depriving me of any of the artists and albums I listen to regularly. Early on in its life it was big time selling snake oil, but at this point it's just a solid alternative to Spotify and YouTube music which have both, frankly, gotten "too big to fail" and have begun enshittification because of it. Man we need more competition...

Just tracking trended data in general would be sufficient to defeat a LARGE number of common cheats. One of the very few use cases "AI" might actually work for in a positive way. But that puts the burden on the developers and server hosters, and it's much easier to just burden the players directly instead.

If we wanna be pedantic (and I usually do), Pippin’s Real Name is Razanur.

Isn't this almost the inverse argument to the android vs iPhone thing? Like the iPhone being (traditionally) more expensive for the "same technology from 5 years ago"? I don't really have a horse in this race, I'm a firm believer in use what you like and is easiest/best for you. But I do feel compelled to call this one out a bit.

Difficult to exploit, already in the process of being patched. Truly, the most breaking of news.

I think they meant it as "once infected may be impossible to disinfect." But it sure doesn't read that way at first glance.

Anyone who ritualistically buys Dell. I believe Intel is on the record as having called Dell "the best friend money can buy."

I can vouch for Bazzite. Been running it on my desktop and laptop (both amd gpu's) with virtually no issues or hiccups. The desktop is even dual boot, despite that not being advised.
