In a new video, Microsoft CVP and Windows boss Pavan Davuluri has teased that the future of Windows will consist of a truly ambient and multi-modal experience made possible by AI that will redefine our usage of computers.
It will be true if people are unwilling to put in a little effort to demand better or stop using windows.
You want your games to run on something else? Don’t buy them until they do. Sadly, most people are 100% unwilling to delay that instant gratification and sacrifice even the smallest convenience.
That’s how we got here. You cannot expect change if you are unwilling to do anything to make it happen.
100% , people are lazy as shit so there is no hope for linux until every single thing runs perfect without the user ever having tp touch a terminal or search a fix. Just how it is. I love to tinker, and thats why I love linux. But its not for the general population.
Even if true, that doesn’t mean you have to put up with it everywhere else.
I dual boot linux. These days, I only boot an extremely neutered Windows for most games or anything HDR, but basically for nothing else. Honestly a lot of old Windows stuff works better in Wine anyway.
Eventually, OEMs might find all this stuff is hurting sales and start offering Linux. I think that would be huge, as 99% of buyers will just stick to the default.
Oh for sure. I’ve had my SO look over at my mint pc (they are on 10 still) and go woah that is awesome!! So i am trying to convince them to change over. I really dont want any windows pcs on my network. But they use vr which still isn’t good on linux without a lot of work.
I exclusively use Linux. In fact I don’t even own a computer that Windows would install on, at least not without hacks or workarounds.
I also play a lot of games. In my experience only the trashiest of the trash games don’t work on Linux. Developers have to go out of their way and do extra work to make a game not run on Linux these days. I will happily play an indie alternative of whatever trashy enshittification-sponsored game won’t run on Linux in the increasingly rare situation where I encounter one.
People posting stuff like this either aren’t really trying or are pushing an agenda of some kind. Remember how random users you had nothing to do with would insult and fight with you on reddit any time you say anything good about marijuana but on lemmy no one really does that? This type of thing smells like that. I’m just saying.
Im sorry but many popular games wont run well on linux.
Maybe you only play single player ??
-Any battlefield game
-Valorant
-Fortnite
-Gtav online, likely gta6 will also not
work.
-pubg
These are huge among young gamers.
And good for you! I only use windows at work where I have to. And I just yell my friends i wont install shitty kernel anti cheat games. But they will play them without us anyway, so really we lose.
Question. Can’t you get around all this shit just getting win pro?
I still hate to give any $ to microshit, but if anyone wants to use popular software or play new games they need windows.

This is why sloth is a deadly sin.

You and I do this, but 99% if the world runs on ms. They wont change. My friend says it sounds exhausting to do anything like that.
Fair.
And it’s the default.

BTW you can share NTFS partitions with Windows and Linux, if that’s your SO’s concern.
I do this, and it works really well! This used to be an issue in Mint because its kernel was kinda old, but no more.
Obviously getting into partitioning is a lot of configuration for most people, but still.
