Comment on Microsoft insiders worry the company has become just 'IT for OpenAI'

I’m not using Linux in any enterprise capacity, but the compatibility improvements I’ve seen since the last time I tried out a distro for fun are immense.
So immense infact that I’m migrating all my home studio and gaming stuff over to Linux and making it my official daily driver via Nobara.
I’m honestly amazed by how well music production software and hardware works on Linux now. I’m so relieved because I thought this whole Windows enshittification thing was just another part of my life where I seemingly have no control over being made into a product and having all of my data sold constantly.
A recent migration to GrapheneOS and this new discovery of Linux’s amazing capabilities for my use case are such a breath of fresh air. I now have the choice to reject the exploitative practices of these tech companies that have zero respect for people and that makes me happy.
The more we use and recommend Linux the more of a chance we get of first party support in the future!

I don’t think that has ever been the case. Hardware vendors are not very likely to listen to the whims of a tiny fraction of retail customers, especially the kind which don’t make them much money. Institutional clients are the only one who can have any such sway, and that too is a stretch in most cases.
Whatever push desktop Linux support may get, it will be coming from enterprise customers. So if you have any influence on IT get them to ask for it, especially since this is a golden opportunity as the dissatisfaction with Windows is at an all-time high.
