Use the right tool for the job. Linus Torvalds himself said he liked Office and PowerPoint and it makes sense to use the OS which your software was designed for.

Personally I am considering buying a console for the first time ever. Nvidia greed and games running better on $499 PS5 suboptimal RDNA 2 with Unreal 5 than $4000 PCs mean there is some serious issues with Windows :-/.

BlackMyth Wukong beats my 5080 hands on a playstation. I got into so many flamewars over this from PCMR fanboys saying I am retarded and cite my hardware specs but it i just is not as smooth or optimal at 4k. Yes I know about upscaling and the PS5 is doing this but it has less issues.

But ... Linux has the same issues. A 3% 4% fps boost you will receive if you are lucky due to DirectX emulation and all the win32 bug to bug compatiblity added in god knows how many lawyers. Sorry wine is an emulator in the software sense of crappy code.

My point is Linux sucks for games. Steamdeck is it's own thing and my guess is consoles next generation will start winning again because they OS is tuned for the hardware and so are the APIs and frameworks.

That is not what it's doing. I was the SSO admin at my previous employer with Okta and Azure.

It's to rid insecure passwords for MFA multifactor authentication and using your phone and biometrics to authenticate you. Your phone does this yet no one complains. Local passwords are highly insecure and the data is stored on the hard drive not a tpm chip like your phone is.

It needs an Internet email to identify you and retrieve your keys. Not to spy on you. It's a great feature as it's time to get rid of passwords. Under this Chrome will just prompt you for a pin when you enter a credit card or use Google Password managee. No passwords ðY'

It's a feature

I just used copilot last week and it was amazing. My boss needed a cute data dashboard on a project in less than 45 minutes from an Excel file with multiple sheets. Copilot I asked to do X sorted by Y on data vs volume of shares and within 10 minutes it wrote a report and analysis! This would have taken at least 4 hours manually?!

I probably will be modded as a troll and I am not. Copilot can analyze files and do so many things. Yes, it will stick around for business as something like this is too valuable as just a fad

It's been said a million times over, that people since Windows 95 and maybe XP that no one actively picks Windows with jubilation and excitement.

They pick their apps needed for work. That means Excel for most people so Linux is off the table. Your Mac does support Excel but it doesn't support Steam games nor Oracle SmartView to upload stuff from your ex ex ex boss from 2012 CRM bloatware for work. Not everyone gets to use cool macs and Atlassian projects and AWS and work from home.

Most PCs run in 20th century old school companies who are still discovering Exchange Online and use VMware and have large amounts of technical debt.

Or run games that just click and work in Steam under Windows.

Mac has a big disadvantage now since VMware is heading out to pasture and parallels doesn't support arm Windows still on m macs. So it's Windows 11 it is with hyperv, wsl, and docker.

The apps just work and with a few local gpo hacks it's usable

Calls to remove it. Ok, where should it go? Dump it somewhere else? Transporting it will have protests against transporting it through their towns. Incinerate it? People freak out over that. So where should it go? You can't break down things like heavy metals, they are elements. Trap them in filters? Ok, now the filters need to be dumped somewhere.

People want modern life and comforts but can't accept the cost of it.
