Oh I miss understood your original point completely sorry for wasting time.

Although battery life on mobile Linux is worse then on android for devices made for android but that’s more a hardware issue then software thing.

Oh android and Linux isn’t different in code compilation I was saying that code compilation isn’t that important in the context of a gaming handheld. I was saying android was better because much more software is built for the platform with a whole lot . I didn’t really think about waydroid which is better then running Linux in a VM on android and yes x86 emulation is better under Linux. But I was mostly talking about hardware to begin with and specifically said that Linux could be run on device if wanted

Yeah your right I haven’t used a raspberry pi before which may invalidate everything I’m saying but you can’t compile proprietary code (such as games).

As for proprietary hardware I completely agree

Oh ok that’s quite interesting and sorry for going on a tangent.

I did mention earlier that portal 3 wasn’t locked to android but android makes sense since it has by far the most software support of any os you could run on an arms processor and regardless of what do do end up running you are going to end up with comparability issues when running most pc games so the whole android is bad for gaming thing kind of falls flat.

Is that true? I personally can’t think of an example where a x86 computer out competes an arms computer with equivalent specs in battery life.

It runs android because on average x86 machines run worse of the battery then arms based machines (especially in this size form factor) which I would argue is the most important quality to have in a gaming handheld. Your basically trading compatibility for battery life and if you want this thing can run Linux.

He didn’t actually say that, He said that it was terrible for people to have their own dram barely being used most of the time when supply is limited and that having ram in data center better distributes ram resources through the cloud.

This is still bad because he’s basically saying people should be forced to use their service but a lot of people have been misquoting him

Most reddit users are from the us where ios has majority market share

Probably a matter of time until the other major console brands follow suit

How would an operating system even cater to a country? Is there a distinctly American way to access files
