No one should tell you to leave an os if it works for you

I agree.

Some people have a special comfort with Windows AND telemetry, ads, bloat are not a concern for them. We should not try to force them to move.

Henceforth, AGI should be called "almost general intelligence"

It will be there eventually, but on Valve time. There isn't any huge issue with what AMD is releasing

There are different clusters of users who don't/can't leave Windows.

  • Don't want to learn another OS at all (They are content with the Windows experience)
  • Gamepass users. They enjoy the Netflix model of getting free games
  • Multiplayer (with anti-cheat) gamers
  • Don't want to leave the Adobe suite/
  • Uses programs which don't have Linux equivalent

The Linux community has to understand that some of these groups cannot be moved to Linux no matter how much you improve the Linux experience.

Have you tried feeding the toddler gallons of baby-food? Maybe then it can play chess

As per Microsoft, they apparently saved 2 GBs of RAM by preventing productivity apps (bloat) from loading in their Big Picture mode. Now, it's another entirely different thing about how they are handling CPU/VRAM for the games. Let's see how that goes.

There was a Youtuber who showed that Windows is bloated, not because of background apps, but because of not using CPU properly (incorrect governor settings). The Youtuber used a script to set it right and windows got a boost in battery life. This kind of makes sense because I've seen none of the "bloat-free" Windows ISOs provide a significant performance boost over the standard OS.

There's apparently a chunk of gamers who can't leave Windows because of GamePass. However, I don't know whether it's a significant portion.

Apparently it will come to all desktops.
