zewm comments on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC

I'm not trying to belittle the contribution of Valve or Proton or anything, completely agree it's a massive contributor. There's also a lot of work done by a lot of people to get us to that point (and tbh I flipped a long time ago and did more console gaming, so I kinda see it from the opposite perspective - proton has brought back PC gaming for me rather than allowing me to break free of windows.)

Steam took the cap off the toothpaste tube.
Microsoft is giving the toothpaste tube a good squeeze!

So many people just immediately gave into ChatGPT, I doubt Microsoft’s actions will do that much damage. Besides, for anyone not using it it’s pretty easy to ignore. I don’t do a single thing on my PC that requires much beyond opening a game or Firefox so I don’t feel the pressure to leave at the moment.

Ironically, one of the things that I'm moving to Linux for is the gaming performance boost that I've heard some people report due to the lack of Windows bloat and telemetry running in the background all the time.

Bazzite, the Linux version I keep seeing people recommend for gaming and people new to Linux has had a big boost in users in the past 6 weeks or so, apparently, that people are completely attributing to Microsoft.
