      From the article:

      Some players provided feedback indicating the continued preference for a Windows operating system.

      Interesting that it wasn’t something like an “overwhelmingly majority” of player feedback calling for Windows that prompted the change, just some… At least they will continue to provide HoloISO from their website and officially support it.

        Some players could mean the large majority. Without any quantification a meaningless metric.

        Plus it makes sense. The type of person who wants Linux on something like this is probably more than happy to install linux on it. Vs the average Joe who doesn’t want to futs with the quirks of running games through proton/is just used to windows probably doesn’t want to or doesn’t even know how to.

    No one said they couldnt ship windows, but IMO its kinda scummy that 9 out of 10 brands will force you to buy windows keys over and over every time you get a new device. AyaNeo just joined em, again.
