When buying games from Steam, how is the desktop platform counted? From what Valve told us (February 2020), they first take the desktop Steam client platform used to buy it, then whatever has the most playtime in two weeks. However, Android and Web Browser purchases default to Windows and then what has the most playtime in two weeks. If you want to ensure developers see a Linux sale: play it only on Linux in the first two weeks, don't buy it and leave it.
Yeah I think we are talking random survey stats vs a different metric. There was an article before on how they determine which OS was hosting the game for dev stats. So if you wanted linux support going forward, game the first few weeks of it on Linux and that set a flag for OS percentages
Unless its corporate, because then you are paying for windows separate from the PC, and user based licensing for server access, and subscription fees for office. and EOS W10 fees coming
The problem with steam gaming analyltics is it bases it on your first two weeks? OS use. So if you always play it on linux for like a year but the first X number of hours you tried it on Windows first it logs it as a Windows tally
W10 release is what moved me to linux. My worstation got noticeably slower for CAD and my wife's laptop became a brick
Working can be purpose, as can hobbies. we all need purpose
Countries where they have low budget have used linux, there is an opensource hospital / health app. It tracks ambulance arrival, staffing, patient records, etc
Yep agreed. I had a laugh when we got our Wii sports, and the weigh-in made my Mii fat, which didn't represent my shape. But a bad UX from Nintendo on that.
BMI is kinda bogus, it doean't take into account muscle vs fat. At peak working out with small waist, but visible muscle mass my chart BMI was Obese
I have bought 2 sata to USB adapters...they look identical ( other than expensive one has slightly heavier cord ) one for $4 one for $20. The $4 one has the blue USB 3 look to it, but it doesn't transfer as fast as the real USB 3 cord that cost $20.
