  It’s a little confusing because of things shifting around but my understanding is that this the launch of Microsoft’s debloated and handheld gaming targeted version of Windows. Basically they saw what a better experience SteamOS was and realized it was a problem.

    Microsoft’s debloated

    Hehe.

    I think it’s actually the opposite, as they claimed to have optimised it for gaming with interface and QOL catered to the purpose. That’s more bloat when Microsoft does it.

    I’m not a MS fanboy (incredibly far from it) but your comment sparked a vision in my head of an immutable variant of LTSC/iot that function liked a Debian or arch base with vendors building x window (ha! it’s already there) interfaces too that were hardware or platform specific (e.g. here’s your Ubisoft skin, here’s your Epic Skin, etc…).

    If only we lived in a tech utopia instead of… whatever the fuck the mba’s have spent the last few decades shitting out.

    I hate having thoughts of utopia in an orphan crushing world.
