Nvidia releases a Linux desktop supercomputer that's better price/performance wise than anything Wintel is doing and their whole new software stack will only run on WSL2. They aren't porting to Win32. Wow, it may actually be the year of Linux on the Desktop.

?

Yeah starting at $3,000. Surely a cheap desktop computer to buy for someone who just wants to surf the web and send email /s.

There is a reason why it is for "enthusiasts" and not for the general wider consumer or typical PC buyer.

That end of the market is occupied by Chromebooks... AKA a different GNU/Linux.
