Let fucking Musk be the next one to be chipped so he can prove how safe and comfortable it is

Two things come to mind for me:

  • one of the more recent issues I've had is the exercise in pain that is Teams for Linux when not using a corporate account

  • second is that they looooove to build proprietary products to compete with existing ones in attempts to build their own "standard" that only works on their systems, thus crushing competitors. See: (early) MSOffice, Internet Explorer+ActiveX, DirectX

  • Third: buying out products and removing compatibility. RAV antivirus was popular for Linux users as a fileshare/mail/etc scanner. MS bought it and shortly after killed Linux support

LoL. You're right. I keep forgetting that for some reason

Are you able to use WSL under Windows? Combined with something that can display X11 graphics (such as MobaXterm) you could pretty much use whatever Linux-based software from within the windows environment, including stuff like GIMP which does transparency and layers etc just fine

Best-Buy at least matches prices of other retailers, including (stuff sold by) Amazon. If I can get it here from Best-Buy I prefer to shop locally, especially as they're more reliable for certain types of electronics etc

Yeah was discussing this with a friend and basically this is exactly why I don't buy these bundles. They're often not really at the level of proper martial created by an educational institution, but more collections of stuff that you might otherwise find on YouTube etc

Yeah I'm aware of trolley buses. Again, running the infrastructure for this versus independent electric vehicles for smaller populations or low-use areas doesn't necessarily make sense

The people will find a way!

It's not, but there are a LOT of games - particularly in the Indie or small-studio category - that don't actually need Unity/UE level features either.

Maybe somebody will come up with a Unity-to-Godot converter that will handle most of the legwork.

Fun thing is though, if it's a regular scheduled thing and you schedule your burn-shit-down announcement until after, wellllll...
