Yeah, I have not really been liking the direction a lot if headset manufactures are going. I am never going to give meta money if I have a choice.

My works used windows only industrial software. I have tried it in wine but there are to many companion apps and the accompanying licensing issues.

I palayed half life Alex on the Vive when it came out on popos. That said I tried to play it again about 18month later and it was broken; would launch but not load properly. Beat saber has worked for me very consistently, mods are hard to get going but it’s possible.

Not sure that’s 100% true anymore. It’s not uncommon for people to go years without interacting with a windows PC, most will just use their mobile instead. When I say interacting I am not talking about using a self check at a grocery store running an app in kiosk mode, I mean startup, shutdown, update, install apps and use them.

I friend asked me for a laptop last year and had not used one for 8 years since his previous job. Even then his previous job was as a traidy and he only used it for generating invoices. I am sure their would be an app/service for that now.

Windows is in decline mainly because desktop and laptops are irrelevant for large swaths of the general population.

Provided the OS does not get in the way of what people are trying to accomplish (mainly accessing the web browser) it does not matter anymore.

Most people normal people now days need a web browser and LibreOffice (or google docs variant). Pair that with Bazzite or other “ready to go” OS that comes pre installed with multimedia codecs, navidia drivers, a mobile like app store, a mobile like DE and it can be that simple.

+1 bazzite as well. It comes with waydroid for android apps, its Linux (so WSL covered), it does have a gaming focus, it has various Virtualization tools (toolbox, box-buddy) but you can get other options depending on what you actually want.

Don’t like it you can rebase to one of the other ostree based images from uBlue or fedora with about one command and a reboot.

This whole series triggered me so hard. They went out of their way to test it under the worst possible conditions.

• last at night
• setting a goal with a deadline/time constraints for first run
• not stopping and reading or thinking, just assuming away
• copy paste from google frsit thing that looks vagualy right
• tunnel vission
• not resources like Emily, ensuring they make big mistakes

Then they follow up with hypocrisy of this shit, after going on and on about UI not being right or hard to use for the end user.
