    I think its because Counterstrike really does fit this "most basic multiplayer" where its just a game of "click on someone else faster"

    The entrypoint to playing is pretty low, easy to setup during a LAN, easy to jump in with friends without huge commitments, conceptually it takes one game to just "get it"

    But Valorant kind of breaks a few of those rules because it adds chaotic abilities and roles for agents, new things can show up in later games, maybe just enough for some to hate it and others to enjoy

    The companies who are training AI... On Linux servers?

    Wait no, obviously smaller actors you're referring to with your mysterious comment.

    Or maybe all the follow on tech companies that are the largest customers using AI aaand who also mostly use Linux

    No no I've got it wrong, US government entities want a backdoor so restrict AI releasing, then during that window exploit non-US companies using Linux

    Desktop Environment, the software that controls the windows, icons, and menu.

    Their comment is basically saying the experience of two distros using the same DE will be closer than the same distro using different DEs

    If you are recommending a first time Linux user a distro, the goal isn't to find the perfect one tailored for them, the goal is to get them to use Linux and not have a bad experience, putting a bunch of upfront conditions on choice is overloading

    Distro hoping can happen later

    I think the obsession part you are referring to isn't their love for Mint or them regarding it as the best distro. It's like someone asking which direction they should take to drive somewhere, there's a sea of people responding with different routes with tiny differences and the Linux Mint response would be "Whatever the GPS decided"

    I kinda dislike the low density bit, yes I agree we are different to the Netherlands and that impacts how we would build this infrastructure, but it shouldn't be a full excuse.

    The thing I see is we are more than capable of putting out large scale infrastructure like the rollout of fibre broadband and the completed highways works connecting Auckland to Hamilton and beyond

    Your right, Its probably an economics of scale problem, building roads already has momentum and the equipment, while with rail we would need to commit to bigger + more projects that would take longer than a election term and risk the population thinking it's a waste of their tax
