At this point, I think it would be insane of Microsoft to not start offering stock Windows on Xbox consoles.

Of the three modern consoles, the Xbox Series X|S has the smallest game library.

By running stock Windows, Xbox gamers would now have access to Steam, GOG.com, itch.io, Epic Game Store, and more.

They'd go from having the smallest library to the largest library – one that spans decades. They'd be able to play old bangers like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., which never got a console release.

And hell, if Microsoft added trackpad support on the Xbox controller, Xbox gamers could even play the original Baldur’s Gate, which also never got a console release.

If Microsoft added the entire original Xbox and 360 library, Microsoft would have the best damn gaming platform on the planet.

That being said, I do expect Microsoft to take their experience from the and start developing basically their reply to with a for products...

@EU_Commission congratulations! This is a great piece of law!

I hope it will force Microsoft to open up so document sharing actually works easily with non-Microsoft users.

That will be a day long remembered, because that the moment it's 'you must sign up for an account' walled garden anti-competitive nonsense.

I thought I was going to have to install Cinnamon for Debian. My 'Dave' user doesn't have permission to run sudo (?), so I logged out with the intention to log back in as root.

Then I noticed this icon (lower right). I guess those are different desktops you can choose from? Pretty cool.

@DaveMasonDotMe I am NOT advocating the use of .

But in certain situations for specific documents, you may find yourself with no alternative.

Microsoft 365 works well using (snap).

Use the OneDrive Client for to synchronise the contents of your with your Linux system.

That way you can use remotely and maintain a local copy of your documents.

W ogóle powiem Wam ciekawostkę na temat mojej uczelni - zamiast korzystać z gotowych rozwiązań do edukacji zdalnej, posiadają własny system, który sami hostują!
Obsługuje on nie tylko oceny i harmonogram zajęć, ale także autorski system testów, komunikatów, podań, zgłoszeń, a nawet rozliczeń (przelewy i płatności za czesne przez ) i fakturowania!
Ciekawe jest to, że wykładowcy (według moich obserwacji) korzystają z hostowanego przez uczelnię , natomiast my, studenci, korzystamy z lub systemu projektów, wbudowanego w tenże stworzony przez uczelnię system.
System ma dwie drobne wady - pierwszy (który jest dość zrozumiały), czyli nie jest open-source oraz drugi, czyli że jest powiązany z (logowanie przez konto , na , ćwiczenia na (chociaż wykłady już obsługuje uczelniany system z pomocą !)), ale szczerze mówiąc nie jest to zbyt problematyczne, bo Microsoft nie otrzymuje żadnych danych, które mogą mi zaszkodzić w jakiś sposób.
