>are allowed to buy large game makers
Didn't get the memo that both the UK and now US are blocking the Activision purchase?
>As a bare minimum they should be forced greater compatibility with running their software on linux
They do where it makes sense? PWA seems to be the main route they are taking, Office is slowly being migrated to PWA, Outlook is the first application being converted and is already available for testing by end users on Windows for now. It's sad because it's losing native functionality in exchange for PWA :(
Otherwise native desktop apps are already a difficult endeavor for anyone, Linux is an absolute fucking nightmare when it comes to packaging for everyone's NIH distro and I say that as a maintainer of a popular OSS package ;)
>ads within their os
The "ads" within their OS are only for upselling their own products. They are hardly ads and both Apple, Google and every other company does it. But somehow it's a problem if Microsoft throws a banner telling you trying OneDrive.
