Let’s hope it’s actually true.
Valve: We just gonna release linux-based gaming miniPC.
The rest of the market:
Gamers rise up moment
But then sit back down when you see the state of IT retail
Thats the furrys problem, not the gamers
No, it’s not Windows fault. Microsoft has problems, needs to be fixed.
Say what you want about Microsoft, but at the very least, it seems to know when it needs to change course.
That has to be sarcasm, right?
*rename course.
There, fixed it. 😁
It doesn’t say that it actually does. Just knows.
What ever happened to Windows 10 being the last OS you’d ever need?
It is the last windows I needed.
But it’s true!
10 was the last one you needed. 11 and onwards is neither needed nor wanted. Also people are starting to realize the power of Linux (+Wine/Proton)
The same that happened to 640k of memory

So Windows 11 Service Pack 2? Or just win11.1?
I think they should call it ‘The Windows 11 Apology Tour’.
How MS is a still a thing and still turns a profit is beyond me.
The nail in the coffin for me was, when I got an add for some copilot course shit, on Microsoft teams, (this was on my work pc btw) with notifications ringing everywhere btw, on a fucking business account (I am using Linux at my household, not fucking microslop). That was IT for me. How they have the audacity to do so, is beyond me.
They figure once they have a captive audience, anything short of killing the hostage is fair game.
Actually, it seems that even killing the hostage is fair game.
Microsoft Copilot Tells User Suicide Is an Option - https://futurism.com/the-byte/microsoft-copilot-user-suicide
That’s what they said a month ago, then they decided that ‘remove copilot from notepad’ meant ‘rename copilot in notepad’.
I remember reading that plan and being shocked about how good it sounded. And then they did the exact opposite of every single thing they promised, which I’m sure endeared themselves to all their enterprise customers.
So sure, I welcome Microsoft’s attempts to finally drag itself back into relevancy, but they’ve got a massive self-inflicted foot wound that’s gonna complicate matters.
“drag itself back into relevancy”
They still have some like a little more than 90% market share. That seems pretty relevant to me.
Well, when Microsoft finally admits they’re wrong they usually backtrack well enough. Think windows 8/8.1
It was still an ugly pig with lipstick but the worst parts like the start screen were gone.
Wasn’t 8.1 basically the same except the start button was back on the taskbar instead of hidden behind a weird gesture?
That was a different time when they were getting the smackdown from Janet Reno.
Aww, and I finally just moved over to Linux.
If you’re happy on Linux, stay on Linux. This is Microsoft’s “I can change baby, I swear” play. Just like they did after Windows 8. And Windows Vista. And Windows ME.
Surely they have learned their lessons and will never intentionally tank their product in the name of profit again. Surely this time.
We’re truly better off where we are
Lol. Me too. I mean, I’ve been running primarily Linux for decades, now this single press release will have me watching for Windows 13 with interest. (This is hopefully obviously sarcasm - meant only to give you a laugh and maybe help you feel chill about whatever you do for your next OS.)
They could put a built-in linux installer
It’s real this time, like really, they meant it this time… Finally!
…
first line is hilarious
‘Say what you will about tech billionaires, but when their wrong they really know how to double down and lose their market share’…
they never let people around them to question thier decision, its always sycophants top down.
K2, the synthetic analog of THC?
Bold move Cotton, let’s see how it works out for 'em.
