What if that was her wish when she was not in her right mind? Terminally I’ll people have the right to live in the moment instead of being tied to the death bed.

Most non native games run okay under the emulation layers

That’s not the point. The point is commitment of Microsoft to its own platform and that’s lacking ever since the release of the first Surface RT over a decade ago.

Apple doesn’t just not port Apple Chess because it would run okay under emulation. Of course they ported everything. For years Microsoft didn’t even port VS Code despite the fact that even back then it was based on Chromium which already worked fine on ARM platforms.

Surface RT came out in 2012, VS Code in 2015, and the ARM port only in 2020! Madness! https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/visual-studio-code-c-extension-arm-and-arm64-support/

Because legislation related to Stop Killing Games has not yet passed.

Every single game except Microsoft Solitaire Collection of the Windows Store.

Other than that, the only ARM platforms Microsoft Gaming Studios support are Nintendo Switch, iPhone, and Android.

If only the world’s largest game publisher, owner of Activision Blizzard, Bethesda, Minecraft, and Xbox, would port their games to this Microsoft machine. Too bad this will never happen because Microsoft and that publisher, whose name escapes me at the moment, don’t cooperate.

You’d still be relying on Nvidia’s userspace blob for graphics. As you perhaps know, Nvidia drivers are always only one unimplemented feature away from functional parity with Mesa drivers that Radeons and Intel GPUs use.

Admittedly, not before there is Linux support.

It’s still Nvidia hardware. Fuck Nvidia.

I would assume those people will look at Microsoft’s track record of supporting ARM hardware, realize that the vast majority of Microsoft’s own software still does not run on ARM natively (14 years after Surface RT launched!), and buy a MacBook Pro instead.

I’m voluntarily paying for my LW account but the admins don’t know whose money transfer belongs to which account.

In the US it will be all rusty old death traps.

This description already applies to new Cybertrucks.

Couple things there are many computer users that don’t play games like for example me.

And in which credible statistic are those?

Enterprise Linux is not the same as a container

Of course not but you didn’t specifically say desktop-only Ubuntu/… installs and Ubuntu is still very popular in containers that never see any desktop. Ubuntu also ships Plasma, flagship DE or not.

I’m not sure there are more Steam OS installs than RHEL/SUSE/Ubuntu installs.

Of course not, if you phrase it like that. According to your phrasing non-desktop container setups also count but they don’t.

Distributions like Ubuntu also ship Plasma. The preconfigured disk image is called Kubuntu but that’s still Ubuntu and counts as that in Steam’s surveys which I consider the most reliable source of what actual GUI Linux users actually use.

I must admit that I fail to see what good that could do.

In theory the one place where you can enter your Nextcloud or whatever credentials and syncing for calendar, mails, file storage ect. happens automatically everywhere after confirming which services should connect.

It’s not my personal must have feature but when it works, it’s alright.

yea, gnome is “more popular”. doesn’t mean it’s “better”, just that it’s the default environment for some of the most widely-used distributions.

But not SteamOS which has the numbers on its side. Not that Gnome is unpopular but Steam Deck single-handedly pulled in millions of users who at least occasionally switch from game mode to desktop mode (=Plasma) to install emulators and stuff.

For hardware manufacturers like Nvidia: Massively.

Apples are part of trees and I eat those. Maybe I should switch my diet towards polluting industrialists.

If you read the comment I replied to, you’ll notice that it being 10 years ago is the point.

How else would server-side AI summaries work? Don’t need insider knowledge here, just a bit of common sense.
