@Yekaterina we should not call them idiots when it comes to choice of games or Operating Systems, If a lot of people find value in one OS or games, I believe that inherently it has some value, For example most software companies will only trust Linux more than windows in their servers because Linux is superior to windows when it comes to managing servers. Big tech companies are investing in Linux and they are kind of premium members of Linux foundation and linux is getting big money due to this companies. but desktop linux is divided into different distros and each distro is nothing more than a glorified repo to host OS and application and one different way to install linux. I felt like the leading Desktop Environment like gnome is kind of a copy cat of MacOS. also for general users using even a windows machine is hard I believe a lot of people use windows because the people sell them their machine don't know much about Linux. When I bought a laptop from a local shop they know how to install windows inside but when I asked them to do a dual boot and install linux in it. they kind of talked like superstitious people and said that is impossible to dual boot that laptop so I came home and installed fedora myself but I had to get help from online resources on how to do it and in the process I was able to learn some thing about the machine I am using. what I am asking is what choice does a non technical person have if the sellers won't support linux. It's plain simple like Linus torvalds said they have to do it themselves. most people are interested in using this sophisticated machine to do daily tasks and don't want to get in trouble by tweaking it or changing it because if they do something wrong all that the machine is going to show is a black screen. but I won't call them idiots just because they cannot change OS in their system. I own a motorcycle I don't change oil in it or change ABS liquid or try to tweak then engine. I take it to the mechanic and I will never try to do that myself because it's a life and death problem and I am not a mechanic Even if I can learn it I don't want to because I am not interested in it, I just want to ride my motorcycle from point A to point B. without marketing people won't learn about product I think we have to face the reality that not all people are technical. and technical knowledge varies from person to person not every 0AD player is a doing development of 0AD only a few people developing the game and I think they don't get much time to play the game at all. I also want to talk about AOE and 0AD comparison but I am ending this post because It seems like I wrote too much in one post may be readers will loose interest if I put everything in one post. I will continue If you want to hear about it and if you agree what I write makes some sense.

@Yekaterina I am a software Engineer who want to work and get the crap done and play 0AD, I am the lazy guy. I am talking about people you think who are the good guys in your example those who want to optimize and deliver best quality product they all use windows because company want them to use it and that's it, all they care about is the work they do they never get out of that box and don't want to, when I told them using Linux is good way to support free software they laugh and I am the idiot because using linux is pain for those don't know it, they only care about their productivity as does the company they don't care about free software and they will care only if the company cares. and speaking about games is sin if you SE they avoid it at all cost because games have side effects I am doing work game youtube may be I should stop working lol

may be its not the people could be the system people cannot live without working for the system

ok, I am a noob dev, so I should keep my mouth shut, planning change my job from webdev to rikshaw driver or a small shop dude

one positive thing I have to say about google is that the applications they build is outright reliable. If I stream a video it will be streamed without any probs if I don't create a problem. free and open source is nice but people are only interested in stuff made by some Big companies and without people supporting nobody is going to reach anywhere. Based on my real life experience people hate free open source applications, they always talk BS to me if I try to talk about it to them. I am talking about software "engineers". probably can't say they are engineers because they are web-devs and they probably don't realize most of the software's they are using to build are free and OS.

whatever I put in youtube it's going to void, nobody is going to see this videos, shadow ban or whatever I don't care 3 years and 95 subscribers, feels like a legend in memes lol

I like shiny mod, but we don't need the fog in UI and on button click we don't need that much white light

control groups are one way, not sure how to add automatically new units to control groups Top players use lot of secrets I don't know them

this is exactly he won't do

I do agree with what you said Helicity, pocket player is supposed to boom and come with powerful army everything is sensible but I am saying chrstgtr don't share when he can, I do understand the reason behind it he thinks that I am worthless even with recourses. If you agree with him on that point I have nothing to say.

I was not insulting, I was discussing and stating my thoughts and I know it may not be correct but my only intention is to discuss may be make it more easy to play when you are in team.

yes automating everything is cheating and disrespectful to players who developed skills over years and it will make playing games pointless. its like start game start scripts and go to sleep.
