Just another move toward " you will own nothing and you will be happy". Gotta resist the botnet people, Free software anarchy ftw!

Might finally convince me to move fully to Linux.....

Without reading the article, this smells a lot like #enshittification

I switched to Linux a long time ago, it's only getting better and better. After valve started making serious investments in the ecosystem it has only gotten better for desktop usage and it simply 'works' in ways that even windows struggles with, ie: ps4 controllers/switch controllers work ootb, gamescope allows significantly more control over how games are rendered and offers a true console-like experience combined with big picture UI.

Yeah, stuff like this is why I just recently changed back to mac a week ago (after years of hating them). For gaming I swapped my Xbox X to PS5 too at the same time (the Xbox X can't even remote play in windows because I just get a black screen, which is embarressing for them).

Got sick of Edge hijacking my Chrome tabs randomly too. Things are getting worse in windows, not better

I'm surprised they're bothering to focus on consumer devices instead of just going all-out on enterprise and business.

Cloud workstations make a lot of sense for when you need the extra grunt occasionally and have a rock-solid internet connection, but about the only reason the average consumer would want to use them on a portable device is gaming. Everything else you can do locally or as a web app.

And even gaming has been a bit rocky, though it has its small cult of followers.

Assuming this is just fancy talk for Remote Desktop to the average user and hosted by MS.

I suddenly feel an urge to install Arch

Doesn't Microsoft have the worst availability around for their cloud stuff? Or is IBM still giving them a run for their money?

"You will own nothing and you will love it" jesus. All in on OpenAI and automation.
