Never mind Windows 365, I’ve yet to move on to Windows 11. Tried a few times and never liked it.
This seems like a really bad idea. Are there any examples of this that Lemmians are familiar with? Certainly can’t play games on it. Right?
Could kill off desktop PCs
Linux has entered the chat.
Maybe it’ll finally be the year of the Linux desktop.
We have Valve’s Proton. The Prophet Gabe has prophesized the Evils of M$ and its anti-Consumerist Bill Gates (Satan-Borg). In His wisdom, Gabe has prepared for us our salvation. Praise Valve!
Linux PC is the next move :)
I had a friend, who runs a company hosting various OSs designed for this use case. He was singing their praises, till I pointed out a flaw. I work in places with less than optimal internet access. Even the mobile phone network often collapses. Suddenly, my laptop being independently capable is very important.
I’ve moved away from windows a lot however. I mostly boot Ubuntu, with windows available if I need it. Most of the games I play also work fine under Linux now. It can be 6 months or more between windows boots.
I think it’s a problem for consumers, especially as long as traditional PCs and laptops remain ubiquitous. I could see this changing over time as the natural way of things. There are all kinds of examples of people giving up a superior experience for the sake of cost or convenience. :-/
As a Linux user, I welcome this change as it makes Microsoft more honest about their Windows EULA. It is not YOUR OS, it is theirs. You’re renting it.
More likely the end of desktop Windows. But I wouldn’t take my bet on it as Windows users often tend to accept everything Microsoft does, sooner or later.
Laughs in GNU+Linux
Wondering how Steam OS serves as a desktop replacement.
At that point it’s someone else’s PC in a server somewhere else. Unless it’s to make networks in business or school, I don’t really see it being used much outside of that. Especially when you could just set up your own cloud network locally.
