I can’t prove it’s true for you, but every time I read messages like this I think “lol look at that Uber conservative with bad ideas”
Edit: in your case the problem appears to be explosive diarrhea, not being a conservative. Consider me corrected. However another person heavily agreeing with you validates my bias so I’ll stick with it ;)
Yeah us politics don’t really impact anyone else on the planet outside of the 50 states
Is this politics?
Who thought this would be fine? Did they look at Elon and Amazon and just think they could pull that shit too?
Was there a real user risk to any of the flaws since heart bleed? Or did people mostly want to hate on Intel? I’m no tinfoil hatter either I’m just asking questions.

Yeah god knows I was never like that as a kid, wishing I could be home playing my N64 instead of sitting on a car ride for hours and hours and hours on end. Who would ever prefer video games to the freshly recycled air pumped over you for the 100000th time that day while staring out at corn?
Cool moral panic anecdote
Was someone on your lawn this morning?
That’s the majestic and ancient lobster, and having an emoji for such a fine creature makes sense.
This is Bitcoin
I guess I’m confused by your fundamental point though: if we aren’t looking for raw processing power on a range of workloads, what is the technology you see them winning in?
Why not reserve that frothing at the mouth hatred for something that deserves it.
Id guess because I selected single processors and many of the xeons are server oriented with multi socket expected. Given the original post I’m responding to I’m more concerned by desktop grade (10-40k pts multi core) than server grade.
The point of the chart is that it alternates over a wide performance range, there isn’t a blanket winner between the company that can’t figure out security and the company that can’t figure out thermals.
This is the most open time period for hardware as far as options go since like, the 90s. Microsoft isn’t taking away options.
This is obviously insane

It’s not hard to set up if you already have sufficient baseline technical knowledge to feel comfortable copy-pasting the right commands from the Internet with hope that you don’t brick your computer (which ironically fedora or opensuse kinda did although I eventually found out how to work around the failure which makes my laptop permanently unable to use an older version of Linux lololol).
Arch was really easy to set up, I followed tutorials for fedora from fedora which never worked, and opensuse worked until a power outage then never again. So easy. So simple.
Secureboot with shim is the easiest, the arch (/standalone) way seems to work better and more securely since it’s my own keys, but again depends on feeling a lot of unearned confidence. Some distros like Ubuntu and suse include mechanisms for secureboot, others do not, hence hit or miss.
Tldr I know what you’re telling me, and from my pov and experience none of that changes what I said for the average “go on, try Linux, you’ll like it” user.
It’s a real challenge to get a fully encrypted system with secure boot (easier now but still hit or miss with Linux) and tpm.
What you’re describing is the user level security model which is as you said restrictive enough to be annoying, and more controlled than windows.
Edit: undid autocorrect from user level to user never 🙄
I don’t know what you’re responding to, I’m responding to a comment about refresh rate.
Until last year they made the task bar for the computer illiterate (ie Mac/gnome users). Thankfully they fixed that.
