Saw something on programming.dev about some extra telemetry Windows 11 was adding or something like that? I forget. It was definitely something I think is bad, that people on programming.dev also think is bad. Then, despite having done registry edits and everything else I could think of to turn off auto Windows updates to make sure I would not get the bad new feature added in an update, my Windows 11 computer auto updated anyways. Got mad, wanted to switch to Linux, [asked !linux@programming.dev for help](https://programming.dev/post/18482370), and finally did it four months later, a few days before the new year started.

Two I know have all but commited to switching after seeing me be able to join them in basically everything we might want to play together.

They're just using their w10 installs until they inevitably need an OS reinstall, at which point they've said they'll have me over to set them up with whatever I've figured out works best at that point.

First iterations of a console always start out small. It's the second iteration that has the consumer confidence and you get a boom in sales. If the Steam Machine drops this year. I expect it to sell 10 million consoles in the first year.

The screen is small.

It’s an old person thing, probably, but I don’t enjoy phone sized screens beyond reading and such. I don’t know how people see an Apple Watch well enough to use it comfortably.

Laptop is fine most days but I really want that desktop screen when I can get it.

I can’t imagine Stellaris or AC or even Pathfinder on a phone or iPad mini sized screen. Like TV, most people aim bigger not smaller. I can still have portable games at 15” instead of 7”.

I would have been salty about Apex dropping linux support, if I hadn't already stopped playing due to them messing up the game itself.
