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?

    That’s because it is a legitimate competitor. It’s the freedom OS, and only way for the world to escape Americas big tech fascism.

      Yeah I know I’ve been using it for gaming for years. But when I say linux is good people might brush it off because oh you would say that as a linux user. But im highlighting that Microsoft saying this legitimizes Linux in a completely different way. It legitimizes it for all the people that see Windows as the best OS the people outside the linux bubble.
