It’d be great if they truly believed this, but that’s just the image they like to project, the truth is that this has them deathly afraid.

You’ve got mainstream media covering it, folks like digital foundry openly talking about how Windows is the worst part of Windows handhelds. They can’t let this stand, so they’re actively working against it.

Just like the faster zombies blog post in 2012 scared them into boosting d3d development and eventually led to the release of d3d12, this will make them actually invest in gaming for a change.

All the chatter about xbox branded handhelds is an easy tell, but like the blog post we might not discover the true extent until years later.

The 3ds remake already has adapted controls.

It also has gyro aiming, which works great except that it makes the shooting gallery extremely easy 🤣

Nothing will change in that sense.

There is already support for retroachievents, if you don’t see it you’re most likely on the stable branch.

Retroachievents only work on the dev builds, which are available on flatpak-beta. The readme has some instructions in case you need them.

You may want to look into gnome classic, it comes default with gnome.

It’s not fancy or even popular, but it was made specifically for people like you.

Regardless of what the website says, waydroid isn’t an emulator by any meaningful definition.

It’s a container that runs on top of your regular linux kernel (with some very cool desktop integration features), java/kotlin applications run as natively as they’d run on your phone.

It would depend on whether you think elop was a Microsoft mole al along 😉.

By the time of the Microsoft acquisition, focus had already shifted to Windows phones.
