Oh wow! I also installed Fedora on my Toshiba laptop 20 years ago. That's how PCs/laptops work since they're open platforms.

And the OP still gave money to MS so I don't know what they're bragging about "Microsoft eating this"...

Cool that in Fedora you can connect your Xbox Controller via Bluetooth and it just works. Take notes Canonical. I just had to open Steam and connect to the controller so both Steam and Fedora recognized it.

Microsoft is upset that Google's Gemini is outpacing Copilot in usage. Maybe because it replaced Google Assistant on the largest mobile operating system which people use for making timers, changing songs, making phone calls, etc.

They keep forgetting Windows Mobile failed and people don't want to use their PCs like a phone.
