The sad truth is that stakeholders know this perfectly well. But they know they have an important marketshare they can extract money from. They want this money now instead of trickled in through the next 20-50 years from now when they might be dead.
It sucks but it if you think about it that way, it makes sense. Companies die in cashouts all the time.
Hopefully this will finally usher in the year of the linux desktop =P
- agumonkey 3y agoWell about that, there was a topic on reddit about the state of desktop linux, and honestly it seems linux is reaching a good level of cuteness, ergonomics, stability, features.. Along history i was quite critical of linux ui/ux but for the first time I was actually not so, and it would be unfortunate for MS to miss this data.

- agumonkey 3y agoyeah those aren't crucial features to me, maybe i'm too easy

Using Debian with GNOME and that does not seem to be a problem with docking stations or direct HDMI connected monitors for quite a long time.
- myaccountonhn 3y agoI have all of those running on my machine and the only thing I had to configure was fractional scaling, through a setting. Things have improved a lot.
