Most desktops are only really using the graphics card for blitting, alpha, maybe scaling, and possibly mipmapping. Compiz does all of those things, but also has optional 3d effects, and there are multiple 3D Window Managers these days.

Scream at Microsoft, then give them more money, and see what happens.

If you're mad do something substantive, like switching, and convincing others to switch.

Nuclear war will affect a lot more than the hardware that directly supports the links. These days there are numerous dependencies which could be highly relevant. Cloudfront for example.

It seems off topic to you because you didn't understand Unix.

Hahahahahhahahahaha

You use Safari every time you use chrome on an iPhone. You didn't even know that?

Anti monopoly laws are a subset of antitrust laws, they are not the entirety.

So that's Google's fault? I knew it

A business that cannot keep up with inflation is a failure and should be allowed to go out of business so that someone competent can take their place.
