    How do you imagine they patent a fork of Linux?

    They already tried patent trolling for over a decade before they gave up… (Look up “Microsoft Novell-Suse patent trolling”)

        As I said, they tried it at the height of their power and failed. I find it far more likely that winblows becomes a Linux distro. It fits their EEE motto a lot better.

        And what’s that going to accomplish? The steam client isn’t magically improving performance, their kernel patches are.

      Some bullshit to do with vibe coding a copy, then make some important new feature and patent that. Then require all new games on windows to support that. Some bullshit like that. Make direct 13 as incompatible with translations to vulkan as possible.

        You think Microslop can vibe code an OS that’s competitive with Linux?
