    Microsoft is not the pile of shit it used to be. See the past 10 years

      Their products sure don’t seem to be anything other than steaming piles of shit. Seems like a distinction without a difference.

      Do you mean internally? Because in terms of doing exactly what the worst possible thing is for people, they’re a giant, steaming, fly ridden pile of shit

        I run Linux basically everywhere as a sysadmin, I’m comfortable on linux… But my main desktop was always Windows (Games mainly). About every year I try to main Linux… and usually get by a few weeks or maybe a month before I cave. This year… I’ve swapped over and it’s been a long time. I think that windows got so bad at this point that I no longer find the “downfalls” or negatives of linux as worse anymore…

            I dunno proton has been really good for me. Only game I don’t have installed is Siege and CoD… Baldur’s gate and all the other ones I had installed prior seem to run just fine now.

            console gaming

            Sorry, but I can’t. The 7950x3d, and 7900xtx just make games so pretty.

            That’s why I love my steam deck. Can play any of my PC libraries (Steam, Epic, emulation, etc) with additional games at great prices more often than not. Touchpads are really nice too.

          Plus Linux gaming is really catching up to Windows, especially if you aren’t huge into competitive multiplayer games with invasive system-level anticheats.

        Even Xbox is loosing to Sony and Nintendo despite being a decent product.

        Xbox and Windows are both by Microsoft but they can’t even get that right.

        I got a free trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate that I’ve been using to play Starfield and a handful of other games on PC. But half the time I go to play it I either get a license error, which usually needs a full PC restart and signing in and out a few times to fix, or it constantly has to sync with the cloud. I can save my game, close it, not even switch off or restart my PC or even close the Xbox app, and later on when I go to play again it has to slowly synchronise my cloud save again. Why?! And if I want to make sure my save can be used on another device, I have to keep the app open for at least 10-15 mins after exiting the game so that the save can sloooowly upload to the cloud. I can upload things to YouTube, Google Drive, etc at 15+ Mbps but Xbox gaming services chugs along at 0.5 Mbps max. It’s infuriating.

        Honestly, game pass is a pretty good value proposition (lack of game ownership aside), but with the issues I’ve been having I won’t be keeping it after my free time expires. If Steam has been able to handle license verification and cloud saves for years without problems, why can’t Microsoft get this shit right? /rant

        Sorry, I really needed to vent about this.

          They keep bothering me about feedback, and that my trial is going to end in X amount of days. Like… Yes? I know… stop bothering me about it.
