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.

Yes. Burning debris in the upper atmosphere has unknown effets on the environment, plus the exploitation of rare earth metal that cannot be recycled and the energy expenditure. Musk want to burn more satellites per year than what we ever launched prior to this, and every other greedy company wants to follow suit with their own junk.

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

LEO internet is not sustainable and should be banned.

If you want satellite internet geosync is way better. The only downside is latency but it's not worth destroying the planet and ruining astronomy globally over.

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.

I have an other 2-3 years with my 1600.

Gaming, working (data processing, physical modelling).

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