TBH, I have a Ryzen 5950X based tower and while it is faster than my previous desktop which was a i7 4970K (or whatever it is), the previous machine would be fine tbh. I am not even sure why I upgraded tbh.
I think the bigger problem is that commercial use cases suck much of the air out of the room, leaving little for end user desktop use cases.
Most people learn that using some crap top will leave you with stuff on the laptop not working e.g. volume buttons, wifi buttons etc.
All of these just work with Linux.
The vast majority of people that were using Linux on the desktop before 2015 were either hobbyists, developers or people that didn't want to run proprietary software for whatever reason.
These people generally didn't care about a lot of fancy tech mentioned. So this stuff didn't get fixed.
In many cases public transportation works.
In many cases it doesn't.
Do whatever works best for your personal situation but always demand options because you never know when you'll need them.
It simply doesn't work for a lot of people and never will and you were trying to pretend these are niche things when they are not.
People generally don't like public transport. You have to be in a confined space with strangers, that in any other circumstance you would probably never see.
I ended up cycling through wet, snow, extreme cold because I got fed up of dealing with buses and trains after a week. When I had to travel by train it was because cycling wasn't feasible and I had no other choice. It was miserable. Everyday there seemed to be delays and that is 2 hours a day for a year I will never get back.
Saying use what you think is best basically equates to "I am going to drive" for the vast majority.
GeForce NOW and Xbox Cloud are much more sensible projects to look at/evaluate than Stadia.
Any game that is requires high APM (Action Per Minute) will be horrible to play via streaming.
I feel as if I shouldn't really need to explain this on this site, because it should be blindingly obvious that this will always be an issue with any streamed games for the same reason you have a several seconds lag between what happening on a live sports event and what you see on the screen.
Game streaming works well for puzzle, story-esque games where latency isn't an issue.
Now I have watched it and he basically says the same thing as me.
A lot of people have to use cars because they have no other option. Yes, let's fix that for them as best we can.
As he puts it, that also leaves more room on the road for the people with the vintage Mustangs.
One of the key reasons I learned to drive was because trains, buses and taxis are expensive and mile per mile more expensive than using the car. Even flying in some circumstances is more expensive and longer than driving (short domestic UK flights).
The issue with public transport is that it doesn't go quite go where, when you want and nothing is going to fix that.
No amount of campaigning is going to change anything. Near where I live there is two roads closed. It been this way for almost three years now. If the council can't fix one road in three years, how are they ever going to sort out more complex issues.
So you have something that isn't cheaper, doesn't quite do what you want and generally is less pleasant than using a car, you aren't going to want to use it.
And yeah, that's one of the things to take into account when choosing both a residence and a job.
If you don't have a direct connection (ideally) or very good transfers, yeah, it's going to get ugly quick.
I found a comment on Youtube particularly poignant for this type of problem:
> I worked 7 miles away in Redditch for 18 years, for my sins. The 16 minute journey by car took 45 minutes at rush hour, so I experimented with buses which took an hour and a half, needed two separate tickets from different bus companies, and didn't allow me to do any overtime. I took up cycling and once fit the journey only took 24 minutes.

Which leads back to my original point: let's all campaign for better public transportion infrastructure, for more dedicated bus lanes, for more bike lanes, for more walkable neighbourhoods, for less car-only infrastructure. Let's give people more options.
Because while there are tons of anecdotes against public transportation, for example, the numbers reveal that it's badly needed and used by millions and millions of people wherever it's available and the coverage and frequency aren't completely unusable. So demand for public transportation is there.
Cars should be there to "plug" the gaps where public transportation, cycling, walking are not valid options. Not be the default as they are in many places.
Let's optimize for 80% of the population first.
Oh, nice side effect: once all those sardines are neatly packed in buses, trams and trains (or on top of bikes) they're no longer on roads so people who do have to use cars have much faster and relaxed commutes.
Also, there is a RegX way of disabling "bing" for-real in the search but they released an update that caused doing so to break search entirely if that was set (totally a coincidence I'm sure).
