Microsoft has an ambitious plan to win users back, and go toe-to-toe with Valve's SteamOS for gaming — but I'm not getting my hopes up (www.techradar.com)

Microsoft is working on a new project labeled Windows 'K2', intent on removing bloatware, reducing AI, and optimizing Windows 11 for gaming, with three focuses of 'performance, craft, and reliability'.

the issue is not about performance, is about enshitification. I mean, do we need TPM? do we need Microslop account to login our pc/laptop? do they really need to shove Copilot into Windows?

lol comical, the OS is not one feature deployment from being magically fixed. It's an easy decade away at the pace that Microsoft updates. Sorry but it will never happen. Windows computer OS is sunset like it's Phone OS Its not luxury, the rich buy Apple, its not secure and free, that's Linux, its not good for gaming, that's now Linux. Whats left? Business ? Thats eroding fast!

Win 8.1 wants a word.

the rich buy Apple, its not secure and free, that's Linux

Thats an over-simplification. Say what you will about MacOS but it is secure. Some Linux distros are very secure, but its not a given. And some rich people run Linux or Windows.

Whats left? Business ? Thats eroding fast!

My friend, Business is the reason MS doesn't have to care about consumers or even Windows anymore.

  • 8.1

Not even close. Entire Kernel is cancer. 8.1 was bad lipstick on a pig.

Over-simplification

Biggest attribute of them both is a simplification.

Doesn't need to care about windows any more.

But 8.1! Entire EU says good luck with that
