I was really surprised when I learned that the inner eye wasn't just some figure of speech, so I don't see anything, certainly no extra visual details.

Something is still happening though, I can sort of "feel out" shapes/volumes and motion, like depth perception with no visuals attached.

You could fit an entire modern OS in that space, together with all the drivers, a web browser, an office suite, graphics editor, an IDE and a compatibility layer for running Windows applications.

My guess would be Nvidia. But probably both.

They convey time instantly, without reading. You don't even need the numbers for them to work. It's like showing a progress bar versus just giving the percentage as a number.

The unease doesn't come from the word itself being a grave insult but, for example, from being bullied for being "weird".

For real though, containerization isn't the only way to separate applications from each other but totally fine, it's the "It works on my machine, so here's my machine" mentality that doesn't fill me with confidence. I've seen too much barely-working jank in containers that probably only get updated when a new version of the containerized application itself is released.

It's never too late, especially if you can combine the two!

Is it fair to say that any game that runs on the Steam runs on Steam Linux?

No, it's not that far along. A lot works, but if there's invasive DRM or anticheat then it probably won't. If you have specific games you want to play in mind check out https://www.protondb.com/

I know the variations have gotten better over the years but haven’t done too much research into it.

If you're curious you can just create a live USB stick to test drive it. Won't work well for gaming though.

I could see them not letting you directly search anymore, only through the LLM bot. Because that's been how things have been going anyway, Google seems to fully ignore literal searches with quote marks now, presumably because it doesn't fit their vision of using natural (imprecise) language. So why not make the LLM write the search query for you in a completely opaque way?

You are correct!

~~It is telling you to eat that deadly mushroom though.~~

Don't hold your breath, 10 already broke the pattern IMO and all I hear about 12 is that they will cram "AI" into everything. Windows the operating system is dead, replaced by Windows the sales platform.
