This has been complained about for-fucking-ever. Why'd they suddenly decide to do it now? They must be losing more customers than I realized.

    Obviously, loosing a chunk of market to LMCE, Bazzite, Pop_OS!, Arch, etc.

    Just wait til GabeN drops a nuke in a face of a Steam Machine. Bet we gonna see a humongous influx of users in Linux space after. Gaming companies already are trying to adapt to the possible market swing. Once software marked goes Linux, Microsoft will go bankrupt in a jiffy.

    Microsoft knows the desktop PC market has never been more ripe for disruption than now.

    If I were a Palo Alto tech bro, I'd avoid AI anything and go back to the original Bill Gates playbook of taking open source OS and streamlining it with a better suite of office applications. That will actually make money.
