Thing is, everyone has a phone now, and they spend an inordinate amount of time on it. Though I'm not excited about recommending Fedora either, the fact that it doesn't enable non-free software by default causes a bunch of issues.

Windows interface is also stuck in 2005, and the evidence suggests most people prefer that.

Does it? Most people are spending all their time on their cell phone these days, and that's much closer to Gnome's UI. But yeah, anyone accustomed to windows will be better on Mint and cinnamon, however everyone else will be better off on Gnome.

Google and apple certainly take a cut. Bigger than patreon and onlyfans btw.

It's arch KDE under the hood, as long as a terminal is accessible and you have root privileges you could probably run an airplane on it if you'd like. The relevant point is the default setting, the thing that nobody changes and why google's paying apple 18 billion per year.

Doesn't it boot straight into steam big picture? That alone should be a deterrent to most people wanting to run it as a desktop OS.

The cost is actually negative given that they get to pre-install whatever software they want into it.

Microsoft is actually the least problematic of the console racket (Sony, Nintendo and MS), games release simultaneously to pc and they offer cross compatibility. Maybe the EU will address it eventually, but i guess mobile takes precedent given that everyone has a cell phone.

the people who provoked Nintendo.

This is my problem with your argument, you're saying that because of piracy they're entitled to crack down on emulation. Piracy is just a pretext they're using here. Emulation is legal and yet they're doing everything in their power to stop it from happening, this has nothing to do with piracy.

What if he had preordered the game?

Not only that, but you're also harming the console modding community by incentivizing the publisher to go after homebrew developers and emulator developers. It wasn't a coincidence that shortly after some asshat streamed an unreleased Zelda game being played on Yuzu, Nintendo decided to finally come down on the emulator with an iron fist.

There's plenty of ways to stop piracy, Nintendo just doesn't want you to play outside their walled garden. They could choose to facilitate emulation and let you buy their games from emulators and prevent piracy while not hindering emulation. They could choose to port their games to other platforms. But no, they crack down on emulation because it hurts their bottom line if people don't have to buy a switch - or whatever to play their games. Fuck Nintendo.

There's always plenty of good reasons to postpone something and only one to do it now.
