Why do people keep letting Microsoft be in control. Stop buying Xbox and Gamepass. Stop using Windows. Don’t use Microsoft Office. That’s it. Microsoft is no longer a part of your life and you can forget they exist.
Leaving Windows is difficult for a lot of people as Linux is quite there yet for grandma and Apple products, while I love them, are expensive. Most people are moving to having it all on their phone, though, but that also means even less care about putting money or energy into a whole-ass computer.
Excel is good but for most people Google Sheets is fine(are cheaper). The rest of Office is crap.
The Xbox is certainly not worth it. Makes me sad because I like the controller more but that’s life, I guess. Besides, they didn’t invent it anyway, it was a Sega(I believe) thing.
For my part I’ll buy the controllers for PC games, and my friend is working on getting us reliable Linux setups, but for most people it’s not so easy. They don’t know what they don’t know, either.
I think for grandma Linux is actually easy. You can easily make it look like Windows or Mac or something recognisable with big friendly icons. And lock it down, so she can’t mess anything up. The only difficulty part is if you need something very specific that only works on Windows. But for gaming, browsing and Office, most things works absolutely fine on Linux. Valve has made it incredibly easy to install Steam games on Linux, even if they officially only work on Windows.
Most Linux apps can be installed from an App Store, that works like it does on phones. It’s a bit different, but it’s not harder. The exception is some multiplayer games that require some aggressive anti cheat, that won’t work. It’s also easier if you have an AMD GPU as it will just work on Linux, nvidia is making it a bit difficult, but that’s nvidia fault for not playing nice.
Installing something like Pop Linux doesn’t take more than 20 minutes.
