Microsoft Vows To Make Windows 11 The Best Place For Gaming

The overall quality of the Windows experience is at a historic low point, due to increasing concerns over AI and feature bloat, and a long list of crippling bugs. With that in mind, many PC gamers are looking longingly at Linux, and the alternative OS is picking up steam in terms of marketshare. Perhaps feeling the scalding heat of gamers' frustrations, Microsoft has just published a blog post in which it promises a commitment to "make Windows the best place to game."

Historically speaking, gaming is one of biggest reasons that most enthusiasts chose to continue using Windows. That might be a controversial take, but it's more true than false. Gaming on Linux was simply not very good for a long time, and while playing games may not have been the main thing an enthusiast did with their PC, it was certainly part of it.
