And thanks to the Steam Deck and the damage that is doing to the last bastion of Window supremacy in gaming, they may not have that much longer either.

I mean, would you rather have an OS that turns your computer into a personal space invasion device that helps a multi-trillion dollar megalith monetize your every breath while consuming a huge portion of the performance of your $1,000 personal computer, or would you rather have a lightweight customizable OS that only does what you tell it to do, doesn't cost you anything, and can do almost everything that the other guy can do just as well for free with no tracking?

Sadly a lot of people "rather" have the former. Of course MS does everything in their power that these people don't know better or don't have the option to select the latter.

MS has always been about forcing subpar tech with shady tactics, and they are very good at it.

Steam Deck reinforces Windows and XBox as target platform for game studios, it is doing nothing to change Windows supremacy in gaming.

Specially now that Asus, Razor, Lenovo are getting into the same space with Windows 11 devices.

After all Proton is all about running Windows games.
