I have been using Linux for the last 5 years.
I didn't switch because i wanted to escape windows.
I switched because fedora's immutable OS distributions, Flatpaks, Distroboxes, DevContainers, Steam with Proton, Gnome, and etc.
This is what I have been looking for in an OS or a long time.
Apps have permissioned access to the file-system via file/directory select dialogs.
I can "sandbox" Non-Flatpak apps with Distrobox with seperate home folder just for the app.
I can code stuff inside DevContainers isolate my devtools.
Etc. I really love the experience. Not to mention lots go amazing Flatpak GUI apps for managing Flatpaks, AppImages, Distroboxes. You don't have to touch Terminal at all.
Anyway I also have been doing some hobby game development on Linux. I use WebGPU, since it can translate to anything, a nice middle layer, not outdated like OpenGL, and less complex than using Vulcan directly.
I have a feeling many games developed on Linux, can easily ported to Mac and Windows.
If it works on Linux it can probably just work on Windows too.
Probably.
Based on CPI $20 in 1899 would worth ~$700 today.
Which is NONSENSE.
It would worth ~$36k.
- US was in gold standard back then.
- So we can easily know that $20 means 0.97 once of gold.
- Then we need to apply gold inflation. We can't know the exact number but gold supply above ground back then was around ~772 million once.
- So 0.97 once is like 0.0000000126% of the total supply back then.
- If we apply the same % on today's gold supply which is ~7 billion once of gold, we get 8.74 once.
- And based on the today's market price it would worth ~$36k
First of all basket goods in CPI keeps changing. And second of all if you compare what everyday products you can buy, you also include how much cheaper those everyday products are today. How much of it we mass produce today. The automation etc. So its a horrible metric. It doesn't calculate what was the actual value of $20 was.
