There is a link to a live demo pretty close to the top.

Nah it’s just being replaced with phones.

Low tech users used to have cheap windows machines, now they have phones and tablets.

Really? I’m on a Linux desktop and I had not noticed. Though I steam from Netflix on it very very rarely.

They are desperately trying to be the Netflix of games. That is why they keep buying IP, studios and publishers. They are buying content for that service.

Boutique hardware doesn’t help that. You need that service on every and anything.

Also from the Xbox perspective this is mostly Asus taking the risk hardware wise. Microsoft are just adding some bigger grips on the side.

I have not played a Forza game since the first one. What did they do to muck it up? I assume the usual live service / micro transactions cancer.

The disagree is for soft walking things. They give you the choice so people feel like they have one and don’t complain, then in the future they will continue to ask everything anything changes and if you accidentally agree they will never ask you again.

I mean they don’t make it very hard to play their first party Games. Just pay the online free. The main issue is that not all of those games from 1997 are their games. They are just made for their system.

They are that’s true, but it’s because their parents bought it for them when they were young.

That’s true and not true at the same time. The one advantage Windows has in this regard is that everyone is working on the same “distro” as it were. With Linux the various components can vary enough to be confusing. I think that is why it’s important to choose a distro with a sizeable community.

Something like Ubuntu, or an arch derivative like endeavouros are a good choice for that reason.

I would also warm against the copy paste of commands that you don’t know what you are doing with. The one nice thing is that in 2025 you can drop a command into your choice of LLM assistant and get a pretty good description of what it does without breaking out the man pages.

I mean I’m pretty sure the massive game sizes we see today are almost exclusively caused by high res textures and assets.

It’s good they put it up front though. There can be a lot of entitlement with oss users sometimes and setting expectations can help alleviate that.
