Funny how this news comes after the release of MacBook Neo.
Doesn't matter, Windows is almost over for me.
I have found out that The Division 2 works on Linux apparently after Massive released an update to enable support, Elite Dangerous is user supported to work on Linux and it seemed to work quite well for my dad, so I will try it at some point.
When it comes to Video Editing, I am honestly looking at a Mac Mini with Final Cut Pro, despite only recently upgrading to Sony Vegas Pro 23, although I will keep Windows on my Laptop because of DJ Software, so I can always use Vegas on there if needed as well as Shotcut which I use for Music videos.
I am sick and tired of the BS with Windows though and with the steam deck, steam machine and other handhelds using SteamOS or what ever they call it, I can only hope that more dev's start to support it, then we just need Valve to actually add Intel/nGreedia support and more people will be able to use it.

They keep making promises and so far haven't delivered so as far as I'm concerned, Yeah Microsoft I'll believe it when I see it on my machine!

This change has been in the works for a while. As I said in the article, Pavan Devuluri became the head of Windows and Devices in September 2025, and now the first wave of big changes is coming to Windows Insiders.
The first big change was the unsplitting of the Windows core and client segments, which I believe is a major reason why Windows has gone downhill since the split happened in 2018. Microsoft knows it needs to fix Windows. That said, the question now is 1. Can they fix it? and 2. Can they fix it in time?
Viable competitors have emerged, and Google's Aluminium OS is coming. If Microsoft can't sort things out soon, a lot of people will jump ship.
It will be interesting to see if Windows 11 is actually better by the end of this year. I really hope that those memory improvements happen soon. We need less Windows bloat, especially now that DRAM is crazy expensive.
