Bet it’ll be grok

Direct input existed before xinput and works just fine

How is this relevant

What anticompetitive practices? This normally refers to things like selling at a loss long enough to destroy fledgling competition and the like. As far as I’m aware, steam just… provides good services that other stores don’t?

Lol that’s not a false equivalency. You don’t get to just decide words mean things they don’t because it sounds nice in your head.

If you’re so sensitive to being corrected the easy way to avoid it is to simply not create misinformation in the first place.

Yeah probably lol

EZ. Your original totally incorrect comment that you’re trying to pretend didn’t mean what it obviously meant.

You’d have to design hardware specifically that’s compatible with Linux

You don’t have to design hardware you have to write drivers.

It’s OK to admit you’re wrong.

You’re just embarrassing yourself at this point.

The only thing that is lacking for compatibility is drivers. If that’s what you meant you should have said so instead of saying hardware needs to be designed. If that’s not what you meant then you don’t know what you’re talking about.

What makes you think that?

Java can be pretty damn efficient for long running processes because it optimizes at runtime. It also can use new hardware features (like cpu instructions) without having to compile for specific platforms so in practice it gets a boost there. Honestly, the worst thing about Java is the weird corporate ecosystem that produces factoryfactory and other overengineered esoteric weirdness. It can also do FFI with anything that can bind via c ABI so if some part of the program needed some hand optimized code like something from BLAS it could be done that way.

All that to say it doesn’t matter what language they use anyway, because rewriting from scratch with a short timeline is an insane thing to do that never works.
