Alpha Centauri is a game I've had since release. Ended up building a dual P3 1Ghz box so I could play without experiencing extreme slow downs during end game when the whole world is visible.

I still do a playthrough once a twice a year.

Assuming its not cheap piece of crap that isn't UL listed and that's where the problem is.

Well...we're waiting!

The easy answer is to use commercial displays. They are more expensive and may not have the latest tech BUT they last longer and don't do the spyware shenanigans.

Because not everybody is willing to roll over and give up.

MSO and EXO have a value proposition that Cloud PC doesn't and Cloud PC at minimum doubles the cost.

It was never crazy and people were predicting this since the 90s. It's essentially a return to the dumb terminal & mainframe paradigm that was in use prior to desktop pcs.

Business's will not adore this. Cloud PCs in M365 or Azure cost money, often as much per year as it would cost to just purchase a pc to begin with.

Read the legislation. It's not just operating systems, its applications as well! All applications, there are no exceptions. Everything from GIMP to the EHR your Doctor uses to a custom Open Claude bot on Github. ALL of them.

You don’t have enough AI-ready GPU cores so Teams is running the local copilot model on the CPU with your most recent outlook emails in order to prepare a dummy to send to the cloud for further analysis

That's a depressingly probable reason even though you meant it as techno-babble. It is actually possible that the machine doesn't have enough NPU power!

isn’t it time to get off Windows?

I'm already using Linux everywhere I can both personally and at work, heck even my work laptop is running Linux. The blocker on my work desktop is that the remote access tool I use multiple times a day doesn't have a functional Linux version.

I could switch my work desktop over to Apple but I've never liked MacOS.
