Their current product naming is still terrible.They went from the Xbox, to the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.

The latest console is the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X

I thought that was satire but I've googled it and you're not even joking.

Now search for Microsoft corporation family if products called Copilot

And I bet marketeers got paid a lot of money to come up with those.

Mitch Hedberg... "I want to get a job at the Kitchen Appliance Naming Institute: Refrigerator, Toaster, Blender.. you just say say what it does, then you add '-er' What's this thing do? It keeps shit fresh. Well that's a fresher. I'm goin on break."

Gaming’s home deserves to be on Linux.

I know GabeN agrees with me, and he’s worked hard to make it happen.

It basically already is if you're not playing live service. Unfortunately I can't see MS ever making their catalogue of games workable with Proton, Riot won't as well since they won't budge on kernel level anti-cheat, and for God knows what reason Epic won't do so either (even though they're always pushing for open platforms???)

there’s a simple answer to all of these things that will cause the market to take care of it: simply increase the Linux gaming market size

and given how shitty Microsoft is treating everything lately, it won’t even be hard

...and the Ally ISN'T EVEN AN XBOX!!!!

"""AI Overview: No, the Asus ROG Ally is not actually an Xbox. It is a handheld Windows computer made by Asus, even though it features Xbox branding and uses an Xbox-style controller layout"""

"This post is an XBOX"

Obviously it’s an ally, just like the Xbox series x is a series. How much clearer could they be? (Joking).

Let’s be honest, Nintendo are just as bad - new 2DS would like a word.
