By the way as long as I'm talking about pieces of music that get used everywhere while neglecting related music: Did you know "Moonlight Sonata" has three fucking movements and you've only ever heard the first one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSlgAOBr7VA
Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:
A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.
Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*.
Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA
