You’re either being intentionally obtuse or disingenuous.

Or I'm simply disagreeing with you. I'm not disagreeing to disagree, I just simply am not convinced by your arguments.

you wouldn’t count people who bought that refrigerator as Linux users, would you?

No, I would not.

If they’re not exposed to any operational functions of the OS, then counting them as users of the OS is dishonest.

Right, but the steam deck exposes all that perfectly fine, a lot of uses simply choose not to engage with that. Someone using debian but then only touching the web browser still counts as them using linux surely.

I mean his nose is perfectly accessible so it only makes sense to.

I used to play with a metal bodied pen at my desk, and you could totally shock yourself by touching it to your chin while aimed at the CRT.

Measuring by units would be WAY more skewed. The top 10 would all be free items, or if you exclude those $0.01 items. Measuring gross revenue is much harder to game unless you count "actually selling $500 hardware a lot" as cheating somehow.

But that's true for anything. you could swap out the OS under gnome and most users wouldn't notice either.

I mean in a regular surgery anything below waist level or so is already considered non-sterile, So I think the risk of doctors accidentally dipping their hands in the swamp water is pretty low :P

I'd probably call Big Picture the Desktop environment in this case. Yes it's a simplified linux experience, but it's not not linux.

I'm assuming it's referring to the batteries

That seems easy enough to make. Weave some metal thread into the paper or some such and you'll jam most shredders handily.

He runs faster than me for sure, but he's got a wonky knee so most other dogs outrun him unfortunately.

Definitely has the streamlined look though!

They’re using a curated overlay for Linux

This is commonly known as a "distro". SteamOS is just particularly good at being user friendly for it's fairly narrow use-case.

The doctor being so upset about it makes it all the funnier.
