[–] flakusha@beehaw.org 5 points 3 years ago* (2 children) Typical loop in this case: Oh, M$ is so disgusting, I never gonna switch to the new platform! In a few months/years Well, my apps/hardware are not working, time to switch anyway. Not because it's not working anymore, but because the platform is mature and I actually like it. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] MachineTeaching@feddit.de 2 points 3 years ago We've seen this spiel a few times, companies want to move to the cloud and then don't because it's ridiculous and plenty of things are just fine on local machines. I don't lend this any more credence than all the "we'll all be gaming in the cloud in 10 years" crap when stuff like GeForce Now was popping up. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago Or switch to Linux and never look back. I've been using it for close to 4 years now and the only time I almost miss Windows is when having to make a PowerPoint presentation. Everything else is better on Linux, including gaming. permalink fedilink source parent
