What's the point? Anyone who's vaguely interested in it is going to know about it, and there's never going to be anything particularly game changing in a 20th iteration of a franchise. It's still CoD at the end of the day.

There's nothing stopping you from making a boot key and messing with Linux or making a partition of your storage. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

That said, as someone who is also very visually inclined, I've tried a couple of different distros over the years and always bounced off. I kept encountering the dumbest little issues that most people didn't get, and it always required Terminal to fix. It's those moments when you get to learn how obtuse and unwelcoming some of the Linux community can be.

The real surprise is some people were dumb enough to give over 2k

It doesn't even make much sense in the PC sphere either. It's physically possible but in regards to cost and performance, there's not much to gain from a yearly upgrade cycle.

Continental mainland is what I was referring to, yeah, but I can't say I know much of anything about the Italian market.

Thank you. I provide links so infrequently I manage to forget the format by the next time I need it.

If local supplies are that limited, importing might be your only option short of catching a ferry to the mainland and stuffing a duffel bag with what you've been able to buy.

True but they didn't say 2 in the above comment and with 2 years off, it's easy to not realise the first wasn't released in the 2020s without checking.

I can't believe no-one's said it yet but fine:

That's rough, buddy

I see the problem now. I'm not talking about active users or market share above, I'm talking about actors in the market. The examples of Steam and GOG are only two as opposed to the plethora of publishing companies that are actively against, or at least agnostic to the initiatives mentioned above. GOG stands firm on only selling games without DRM but Steam does very little in regards to get-rich-quick games. Advancing the general support of Linux is a great move, I won't deny that, but it doesn't fix a lot of the problems we have in the gaming market, it mostly just aids people who don't want to be on Windows.
