    I don't think you will get competitive at games by just playing it a lot. Many pro players watch other players, talk to other players, train with other pro players, are coached by …

    I think a better idea would be to bet in running/adapting linux on smartphones. I have actually looked into this in the past. It could be very awkward in the beginning with most of…
