Delete MS Teams: The Linux Developer's Nightmare

Content DECISIONS AND OUTCOMES One of the reasons porting games to Stadia was slow was Google's decision to program games in Linux instead of C, the language used by Sony and Microsoft. "If you wanted to make a game work on Google Stadia, you had to write it in Linux," says Pachter. "Let's sav it costs 5 million bucks. Why would you spend 5 million bucks writing a game for an audi- ence of two people?" As one of the world's wealthiest companies, Google paid or persuaded companies to overlook those costs. EA released Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on Stadia in November 2020. Other heavy hitters, including Rockstar, Ubisoft, and Capcom, also pub- lished Stadia games. Google also opened in-house studios, hiring Electronic Arts' widely admired group general manager Jade Raymond to run its newly formed games and entertainment division.

You installed 32GB of RAM thinking your Linux system would finally use it. Cute. Linux sits there consuming maybe 800MB at idle while the remaining 31.2GB just... exists. Meanwhile Windows would've already eaten half of it just to run the Start menu. The efficiency is almost insulting. You paid good money for that RAM and Linux refuses to acknowledge it exists. It's like buying a Ferrari and your OS insists on riding a bicycle to save gas. Sure, it's impressive, but also kind of a flex you didn't ask for. Fun fact: Linux actually uses available RAM for disk caching, but it releases it instantly when needed. So technically it IS using your RAM, just not in a way that makes you feel better about your purchasing decisions.

When you're single, your Linux machine is basically a NASA control center. Every terminal is maxed out with system monitors, process viewers, CPU graphs that look like abstract art, and enough tabs to make Chrome jealous. You're basically cosplaying as a hacker from a 90s movie. But the moment you enter a relationship? Your desktop becomes a zen garden with a single wallpaper of... well, probably something your partner sent you. No terminals, no htop flexing, just pure minimalist vibes. Because suddenly you have better things to do than watching your CPU usage fluctuate between 1% and 4%. The uptime drops from "3 days" to "I actually shut down my computer now." Revolutionary concept, really. Turns out human connection > obsessively monitoring RAM usage. Who knew?
