    Didn’t scare it enough. Windows is still too much like Windows.

    That’s great. Isn’t it great what competition does after 20 or so years of controlling PC gaming?

    We had years to kick that shit to the curb but we allowed ourselves to get enthralled by convenience and now we have to unlearn everything that Microslop has been shoving down our throats and embrace the open sourced digital revolution.

    Window is so trashy. Ads, telemetry and AI everywhere.

    They make less money/do a worse job at selling subscriptions by making windows less like windows. They’ll inevitably get back to full bore bleeding that cow for more money
