    They “trust me” dumb fucks

    May not have been Gates that said it, but it embodies an attitude which appears prevalent throughout big business.

      There’s Windows 11 IoT LTSC if you really need Windows, but Microsoft is going to continue to fuck its users, and I don’t know why people in the know would choose to continue to use an OS that’s actively working against them when non-corporate, open source alternatives exists (Linux, or for the more niche people, BSD, Haiku, Redox)

        I don’t think PCVR works on Linux yet. The gaming support on Linux being driven largely by Valve is removing a lot of the reasons for consumers to use Windows, though. I wonder how long before big corporations push back on this Microsoft spyware, though.

          I don’t own a VR headset, but I thought SteamVR worked fine on Linux. Gamescope even has specific VR modes.
