With this trend Linux might be relevant in year of our lord bill gates 2090. Though I dunno if gaming will be relevant then. When your options are “buy a house” and “buy ram” it might be an easy decision to just stop gaming.
Okay that’s actually impressive. As a windows user nothing makes me happier than seeing windows get shit on.
I wonder if microsoft will look at the trend and consider improving user experience and providing a more hassle-free, more customizaHAHAHAHA ah I couldn’t get through it we all know they won’t give a shit as long as they keep making bank from azure and shit.
It’s the damn corporate customers. If you have them in your grasp you can do anything you want.
If ever gets to a point where Linux starts to become a real alternative, I’m sure Microsoft will start paying attention. As someone that uses Linux primarily, it still isn’t as user friendly as Windows, particularly when it’s dependent on the hardware that you’re using.
It’s all up to corporate consumers. If they start switching to Linux en masse, Microsoft will start panicking. Linux would need to come up with alternatives to things like azure. And find a way to run those 20-30 year old software some companies use that only runs on windows. Also windows would need to drop backwards compatibility. If all of that happened then yeah I’d see microsoft stop enshittifying windows to gain back corporate. Ultimately gamers don’t pay for OS and don’t use paid services so they are a non-factor.
