I wouldn't say really destroyed by the phone market, but yes, I feel like the markets are getting more and more specialized. From what I've seen Windows machine still have two big markets: Companies (for various software compatibility / historical reasons) and Gaming. If I look at all the persons I know using Windows as their main OS, and that's quite a few, reason nb 1 is video games.
- moonshinefe 5y ago> reason nb 1 is video games. I'm hoping this comes to an end soon with Valve backing Proton due to the Steam Deck. I don't think I'll be upgrading to Windows 11 at any rate, I'll keep Win 10 as long as possible then migrate to Linux and live with the consequences if a minority of my games won't run on it.
- immibis 5y agoI run Linux and Steam, but not the latest and greatest games. A lot of games run out of the box. A lot of the rest run if you tick the box for "yes, run this game anyway even though it's not officially compatible with Linux." The one major bug I've run into is that if I save my password, it doesn't start up - so I have to log into Steam every time.
