Turning GNU/Linux into Windows/Linux won't make it work, regardless.

Microsoft is already half way there with WSL, as soon as they realised folks rather buy Apple gear for UNIX experience, instead of supporting Linux OEMs.

"Runs Windows better than Windows" didn't work last time, and won't now.

And if XBox really goes full speed ahead as cross platform brand, as the console rumor mill has been discussing, lets see how many Microsoft owned studios stuff keep landing on Steam.

It already works, i play games every day, pretty much all games i play are Windows games and i can count on my hands the number of times i booted on actual Windows the last three years.


The fact that "..pretty much all games i play are Windows games..." is the proof it won't last.

It suffices for Game Pass and Epic Store to be more appealing to studios targeting Windows, plus all Microsoft owned studios being taken out of Steam.
