It seems like Microsoft has realized its Windows FSE isn't enough to match SteamOS game mode — but it has a new project to solve it
www.techradar.com
Microsoft is currently in an ongoing battle to improve Windows 11 for idle use and gaming to compete with SteamOS, and it has a big plan for it.

Microsoft is working on a new project labeled Windows ‘K2’, intent on removing bloatware, reducing AI, and optimizing Windows 11 for gaming, with three focuses of ‘performance, craft, and reliability’.

the issue is not about performance, is about enshitification. I mean, do we need TPM? do we need Microslop account to login our pc/laptop? do they really need to shove Copilot into Windows?

    We really need more alternative private non-stock unionized companies in USA made to go against Big Tech

    That’s really what it comes down to. Better alternatives across the board

      Yes. If the community can win this hard ad-hoc, imagine the glory of buying from a dedicated employee owned vendor that provides a full stack solution with a support contract.

      There’s nothing (legal) the enshitifiers could counter with.

      And even when they go full illegal (and they always do), there’s more of us common folks who want a fair wage, than there are of them (exploiters).
