Steam's system survey shows Linux desktop usage at ~0.85% and general consumer surveys show less than 3% usage even after thirty years of development and that is in spite the fact that it costs nothing. Moreover, a $45 Raspberry Pi 4 costing a third as much will have vastly better performance as a desktop than any logic it's possible to fit on the DE10 board costing $150 that was mentioned. The examples provided therefore demonstrate the exact opposite of the points you are trying to make.
- CyberRabbi 6y ago<=1% usage does not contradict any of the points I made. I never claimed >1% of people would make the freedom over convenience trade off, just that there exists people who would and it would be important to them. I don’t see anywhere near 1% of people running a RISC-V softcore based computer on a de10-nano board but I would and many other hackers like me would.
