Fuck off. They paid to remove support for Linux from Rocket League because their launcher doesn’t support it.
Existing games that had Linux support already.
Linux support.
This question makes no sense.
Most Windows users are not technical enough to do component upgrades. And yes they get money from new system sales.
They’ve also got the Xbox interface for controllers, the reason they don’t make Windows better for this scenario is that they already have XBox and making a SwitchBox interferes with their plan to make everything shit.
Absolutely. But they want everyone to know they are using Windows, which if there was a custom shell then they wouldn’t.
They have >95% of the market, they don’t care about making a good interface for TVs as they already lost it to Android, and they don’t care about making a good gaming interface as they already have XBox.
Windows users are an inconvenience, that they want to milk.
No, Microsoft don’t allow it. As part of the distribution licence you are not allowed to customise the OOB interface.
People don’t know it’s Linux, but it’s absolutely because of Linux that it works.
They could call it Windows Console Edition, or WinCE.
Nope.
The big thing is that the Deck uses Linux which allows Steam to provide an amazing interface.
All the “competition” still tries to use Windows, and the experience is appalling.
It all depends on what you actually want to do.
I have a computer connected to the TV with Chimera installed because that’s SteamOS 3 with emulators preconfigured and is completely couch + controller friendly.
My laptop has Fedora because it’s up to date, but everything is tested before release, and all upgrade paths are automated unlike Arch which burnt me in the past with breaking changes.
On my Pi’s I have Diet Pi, which is Debian but has images for each of the different ARM boards and has a bunch of scripts for setting up print servers, Home Assistant, etc. I want Debian for it’s slow unchanging nature there.
On my desktop, less so.
But underneath they are all Linux, and they all behave in very similar ways, it’s all about the initial setup.
Stable has nothing to do with outdated packages.
That’s a personal decision by a distro.
Fedora is a stable distro because generally the packages stay on the same major version throughout the version, however they have a list of exceptions for certain applications that should be updated for security or perhaps they don’t follow a major/minor/bugfix release and it’s bad practice to hack together your own versions.
Fedora rebases it’s packages every 6 months, so it’s never left far behind.
Most people are not accessing the internet via a Chromebook.
I only had bad experiences with an XPS, then I found out that the Linux model was a cut down version so that Dell didnt have to support the fingerprint reader and other gadgets.
Lenovo at the time were working with Fedora to get all their fingerprint drivers upstreamed so the choice seemed obvious.
AMD T14 Gen 2, and it’s still great.

He just has horses he was trying to dump on other people, but positioned it like it was a nice gift.
Precisely. This is why the EU is harder on these companies.
When you get big enough, there are different rules to ensure that you don’t distort a market by killing competition. That is anti-trust, and that is considered a monopoly.
So you don’t understand what a monopoly is?
Because you don’t have to be the only player in the overall game to be a monopoly, just simply big and powerful enough to be unaffected by the other players which fits Apples description.
What do you mean I can’t install Windows on my new MacBook??? I thought it was only Linux that you had to think about what hardware you were purchasing before whining about incompatibilities.
It died a long time before that.
My headphones have a USB c port and connects at USB 2 speeds.
