Valve with Steamdeck and Proton development: “Am I a joke to you?”

They are helping, yes, but windows 11 is a driving force like I've never seen.

It's only really viable though, because of Steam and Proton

If it weren't for vidjagames I'd have transitioned years ago. You are right, many are unfortunately in Adobe's CC suite. As a creative myself, I didn't know much when I started, but I knew I wasn't going to be paying Adobe a subscription fee for the rest of my life, nor be tied to select operating systems.

Steam took the cap off the toothpaste tube.
Microsoft is giving the toothpaste tube a good squeeze!

That and backwards compatibility for Win7 & Win10. Shares of those OSs have gone up and several application developers have announced continued support or are advocating for unlocking/keeping secure those OSs.

Honestly, big shoutout to Microsoft for the strong push to get me in Linux's loving embrace.

Double shoutout to them for making it very easy to not even considering to come back.

I have said the same as well. Prior to them dropping the fat grumpy that is 11, I was all in on the windows ecosystem for myself. I heavily modified it of course so it didn't have a bunch of the nonsense but overall, the experience was good. But then they started warping 10, and then they came out with 11 which was massive garbage at release and now is worse garbage years down the road. And with that AI outlook, I'm full on bailing from everything.

MS has to justify thier cost of spending so much money on AI datacenters, they need everyone to buy it to offset the unprofitable cost of AI usage. thats why they are so desperate and suddenly trying to force W11 down peoples throat.
