    how shit of a software company do you have to be where your own os’s software running through a translation layer on another operating system is threatening to run faster than natively on your os. somethings gotta snap.

      It’s less of a translation layer and more of a reimplementation. But yes, it does demonstrate how shitty Microsoft is that other people can implement its APIs better than it can.

      it’s not just the software that runs better, in many cases it’s the hardware too.

      Take laptop batteries for example. users will state over and over how their batteries last a lot longer when their system is running linux as opposed to windows.

        It used to be the opposite a lot of the time. Power management used to be a huge problem. Lately though things got a lot better.

      Threatening to? When was the last time you used Windows? Maybe you’ve forgotten just how much of a slug it is for gaming. Hell, just opening Steam can be a five minute ordeal depending on what Microsoft wants you to do first.
