I have a Windows dual boot for the (nowadays rather rare) cases where a game won't run in Linux.
Interestingly, I spent a while trying to get League of Legends working with their new rootkit requirements... But my Windows-using friends weren't comfortable playing the game any more.
Tbh, I'd rather they use the money to make Linux distros better. Valve made the Steam deck a winner not through advertising, but through making a good quality product and supporting the ecosystem.
I have no interest in people making Linux popular beyond the minimum required to get companies to support it. If it's good, people will naturally learn about it through word of mouth.
Also, directly attacking Microsoft feels like they could get sued for libel or something like that.
I like the meaty feast ones, particularly spicy ones. In fact, since discovering hot sauce a few years ago, I've been adding it to pretty much all of the pizzas I eat.
If I'm in the right mood, I also do enjoy a good ham and pineapple as well.
The OP was founded on a misconception (that all trans people want to look the same). It's important to realise where you may have flawed logic and call it out. It demonstrates that you are willing to listen and learn. Even something as simple as "this may be confirmation bias, but..." or "Is what I've seen common?" goes a long way.
Secondly, you are going to be wrong on the internet. It's inevitable; you're going to offend someone or make a faux pas. Take the L, apologise and move on. Look inside yourself and accept "yeah, I goofed". Don't live a life where you feel you need to constantly be fighting off "attackers" and defending yourself.
People are much more receptive to peope who demonstrate a willingness to learn and grow.
But ignoring that, I can imagine traditionally "masculine" features like facial hair would be particularly appealing to those who have gone their whole life feeling uncomfortably feminine. Like, now they are exploring masculinity, they want to go all in.
I'm interested in what people who are trans think of this.
Sure you can turn it off, and realistically this isn't that bad an antifeature. But Microsoft has been making a lot of unpopular decisions (Randomly restarting, Edge shilling, the tpm requirement, general privacy violations, ads in the start menu), and this is by far the worst reaction I've seen from Windows users I follow.
Yeah, I get the feeling they might be underestimating the amount of work required. Especially if they want to use something like GDScript. Sure, it's just a wee hobby project but I hope that people on Reddit and Lemmy don't harass them about not doing things fast or well enough... Don't really see it going anywhere beyond being a learning experience for the author.
I use it for "light" games (the 2D stuff, Balatro, Dicey Dungeons, Whisker Squadron Survivor) while sitting in bed. Honestly when I got it, I wasn't expecting to use it as much as I did.
If anyone loves old game manuals, I'd recommend the game Tunic. It's such a charming little game and, without spoiling too much, the manual is a core part of it.
That's a problem here as well. I'm hoping that if we invest more resources into it, they'll not feel that they have to withhold and prioritise treatment. Give them the resources to treat everyone, rather than the few who tick all the right boxes.
Although that's just wishful thinking on my part, most likely. And probably also requires social change as well as economic...
