May not have been Gates that said it, but it embodies an attitude which appears prevalent throughout big business.
Edit: O&O Shut Up is a free tool that helps you easily turn off/disable quite a few of the worst "features" on Windows.
I think that was The Zuck.
You would be correct.
There's Windows 11 IoT LTSC if you really need Windows, but Microsoft is going to continue to fuck its users, and I don't know why people in the know would choose to continue to use an OS that's actively working against them when non-corporate, open source alternatives exists (Linux, or for the more niche people, BSD, Haiku, Redox)
I don’t think PCVR works on Linux yet. The gaming support on Linux being driven largely by Valve is removing a lot of the reasons for consumers to use Windows, though. I wonder how long before big corporations push back on this Microsoft spyware, though.
I don't own a VR headset, but I thought SteamVR worked fine on Linux. Gamescope even has specific VR modes.
I can speak from experience having used both wired (Index) and wireless (Pico 4 with ALVR) VR on Linux and the performance and stability is horrible. Always has been sadly. I can play some VR games on Linux but overall it's not worth it in the current state.
