I think this kind of communication is mostly addressing their investors. The company has to convince the public that they are more productive than the competition (by using less labour power). They probably assume this messaging will not impact demand.

Nadella is a legit AI zealot who has tied every aspect of Microsoft (mandating AI use, forcing it into every aspect of their business, closing or cutting any section of the company that isn't making fistfuls of cash he can immediately use to pour into inflating the AI bubble) to just dumping cash into the AI bubble in an attempt to either completely capture a future market or (more likely) get the world's largest bailout when the bubble pops. The man brags about how he basically only interacts with his colleagues and even family via dozens of AI chatbots.

Did they turn it into one of those shitty mobile games, because that's what I'm imagining

what's crazy is that you could ask chatGPT to make a video game and minesweeper probably has one of the highest chances of working correctly on first try.

Why, that sounds a lot like bourgeois electoralism

You can reboot bazzite more often because that allows the updated ostree to take effect. It's not as high risk as updating windows because you can easily roll back to the previous os version.

1. Most of your games should just work fine these days. If you're playing live service shooters (usually competitive ones, think Valorant and such) you may have issues with their anti-cheat not liking Wine/Proton, but everything else is usually fine. You can check if your games work here https://www.protondb.com/ and here https://areweanticheatyet.com/
2. Pretty much every emulator has a Linux native build, or can be built yourself for Linux with minimal effort. I've never had issues with things like Dolphin, Xemu, pcsx2, etc.
3. OBS Studio runs natively on Linux and works great.
4. Godot also runs natively on Linux and works great. If you're using other tools in your workflow like Adobe products, you may have issues, but there are a ton of free and open-source alternatives.

And honestly, for distribution, I'd just use Ubuntu. I know I'm probably going to get a lot of flack for saying that, but Ubuntu is much better than Linux Mint and Co. simply because it is more up-to-date (nerd speak, can ignore: Wayland being the biggest thing, Cinnamon is still pretty far behind in this department, and slapping KDE Plasma or GNOME onto Linux Mint has been known to cause issues) than other distributions. It also has the benefit of having the ability to install proprietary codecs and drivers (think Nvidia graphics drivers) out of the box unlike other distributions people like to recommend such as Fedora. Just know whatever distribution you use, at the end of the day, 98% of the software is the exact same across each distribution and there will be no noticeable difference between them for a new user really. If you can get comfortable with 1 Linux distribution, you will be able to get comfortable with any distribution fairly quickly with minor changes.

For me it's music production and development. Development isn't hard to move over but IIRC Renoise and FL Studio aren't friendly with Linux. Actually I don't know if any of the major DAWs run on nix.

for the VR stuff: https://lvra.gitlab.io/

Those should all be good in any popular distro.

Check people's distro recs out on distrosea and pick the one whose out of the box experience you like the best. I like Mint (cinnamon).

I like Debian in general, Garuda might be pleasant for a Linux noob gamer, especially if you want to tell people you use arch.

Run Bazzite. The desktop version. It’ll give you a plug and play experience for gaming, emulation, and streaming.

Unsure about development though. Maybe other users can chime in on Bazzite’s limitations for godot development, if any.

I'm daily driving Bazzite. I couldn't get VR to work on it properly. Couldn't get my Silhoette machine to work either. I keep Windows quarantined on an SSD on the occasion I need it and every time I use it, it upsets me on a deep, primal level. Literally right now I'm resetting it cause, after an unrequested update, the start menu and a bunch of other things stopped working and I would rather reinstall the 3 programs I use than deal with it.
