Well, they do keep making it worse. I just had to reinstall the os because 24H2 broke my whole system. The fact that I can't translate my Playnite setup over is literally the only reason I haven't moved to Linux.

    Playnite

    Interesting. Does it support gamepad input? I wonder how does it compare with things like Heroic Games launcher?

    Playnite is better except for one thing: it didn't install games without any use of launchers the last time I tried it a few years ago.

    Heroic can download and install any game from EGS, Amazon and GOG without any extra launcher.

    Good point on the phone. I have a pc mainly because...

    • I'm older and I'm just used to it
    • I'm an enthusiast and do some programming, specialized apps, etc that don't and won't work on phones
    • I do pc gaming
    • I build my own systems
    • I play with linux too

    If I just did browser, messaging, mobile apps/games and calls I'd just have a phone.

    I wonder how much of that can be traced back to Broadcom acquiring VMWare?
