    This might actually get people to go to Linux or even just give up on PCs entirely. A lot of people just use their phones as general computing devices as it is.

    I already hate Windows 11. If they try to push this on me it’s over.

      For me it is gaming support and HDR. (I have a HTPC connected to my 4k HDR OLED TV)

      From my understanding HDR support on Linux is still in its infancy. I own a Steamdeck and gaming support is getting really good with Proton.

        Even gaming support isn’t gonna make me pay a subscription fot Windows. Subscription for the basic OS that I already paid for is just unacceptable. At worst I’ll just stay at an older version indefinitely or, you know, seek another way.

            You have way more money to spare than me, then. I already got as many subscriptions as I can manage and I’m only looking cut some of them.
