What a time to be alive:

"For gaming, Microsoft views steamOS as the benchmark, and is working to optimize the platform so that steamOS and Windows gaming performance are comparable."

So they're trying to make Windows beat Linux at running... Windows games.

🪟 Prediction: Microsoft Is Going To Do The Funniest Thing Imaginable

When you think Microsoft you probably don't think sense of humor. And yet, I'm convinced that Microsoft is going to do a very specific *very* funny thing within our lifetimes.

It makes sense: developing their shitty OS takes too much time - even with its ensloppified features there is even less revenue. Why not replace it by a system that works better and is developed by others? I mean they sure can put up ads on a Windows branded desktop environment, there is no feature that Windows makes better than Linux... except for maybe some KLAC. lol
