Samsung Mobile projects the loss, not Samsung as a whole.

  Windows 11 is for video games

Coverage is still partial because some VERY popular games do not run on Linux due to anti-cheat

I'd say that coverage is very, very substantial, but incomplete because some games use anti-cheat that is either extremely invasive and heavily relies on Windows internals, or is anti-cheat that the devs have configured to reject running in Proton.

Yes, it's very good. However, basically-every-current-multiplayer-shooter is a big missing category.

BTW as someone increasingly fed up with W11 and thus feeling homeless: how well does VR work?

Weird. I've been playing many multiplayer shooters from Proton with my Windows-using friends. I suppose this is one of those "am I friends with people who pretty much only play CoD or Fortnite?" things.

Anything you'd want to play runs on Linux.

One that people keep commenting on is Battlefield 6, which has an absolutely perfect user experience in Linux.

If you play it on Windows it's a slow, buggy, crashy, half-finished mess that barely works is just no fun at all.

On Linux, it's perfect. It doesn't work at all, so you don't waste any time trying to enjoy the slow, buggy, crashy, half-finished mess.

Remember when Google added Car Crash Detection to Pixel in early 2020? Nobody does.

But when Apple added it in iPhone 14 (2022)...

In french we talk about "le savoir-faire" vs "le faire-savoir" (Know-how vs making it known") and the importance of good communication. Apple are the bestest at it. Remember the iPod shuffle and the lack of screen marketed as a feature to spice up your life.

Can't be that bad when you are required to have an account with them for your digital ID/wallet, right!?

   German implementation of eIDAS will require an Apple/Google account to function (opencode.de)

Yeah, coffee was spilled here. What a twist.

Neither, just legacy considerations. Native NVME support was officially added just back in December to Server 2025.

I'm glad at least Yellow Alert isn't what I assumed it was after reading all the other ones.

Definitely for the EU budget. Now it will receive at least 2.25€ per package (75%[1] of 3€) where they got 0€ before. For the individual countries and their customs systems and personnel on the other hand...
