Too bad you have neither a clue nor some talent to at least make a funny comment.
Buying games on Steam serves 100% my self interest. Some of that money goes into improving open source Linux technologies which I personally benefit from.
If you cannot make factual comments, at least learn how to be funny instead.

if you use unreal engine but don’t sell on egs they get a 5% royalty fee on all your sales.
Sounds like abusing market power.
But Epic is super successful. Its Unreal Engine has almost the entire gaming landscape in a stranglehold and is making big gains in film productions.
Fortnite is one of the most successful games on Earth and EGS exclusive Rocket League recently achieved one million concurrent players.
It wasn’t for a while.
Citation needed.
I already provided one: https://lemmy.world/comment/21796829
Cannot read a German news article about German news? Your problem. I’m 100% correct.
Politician A sells out to MS
The previous administration did.
Migration back to Windows begins
Which the previous administration did do and the new administration did not reverse on desktops. Windows and MS Office remain in use.
Politician B says “hell no” (hyperbole) to Microsoft switch back
There was no “hell no”. They adopted a few FOSS tools on Windows. Windows and MS Office remain in use. I already provided a source from June 2025, so quite recent.
Politician B halts the migration
You clamed there was no Microsoft migration. You claimed that any sort of Migrosoft migration is garbage misinformation. You’re a blatant liar.
“In May 2020, it was reported that the newly elected politicians in Munich, while not going back to the original plan of migrating to LiMux wholesale, will prefer Free Software for future endeavours.”
So you lied. You claimed that Munich said “Hell no” to Microsoft Migration but here you spell it out yourself: The politicians did sell out to Microsoft and only newly elected politicians partially reversed it.
They use Windows and MS Office on desktops to this day and use Linux on servers and some FOSS tools ON WINDOWS DESKTOPS.
I was right, you lied.
People who still use WinRAR kinda deserve that. Seriously. WinRAR in 2026? Like WTF.
You first
Are you afraid to provide any reference to your claim? Do you need extra time making up stuff?
“Die 43 000 städtischen Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter nutzen also mittlerweile wieder Word, Outlook und PowerPoint […] Einfacher sei die Software-Frage bei den Servern im städtischen Rechenzentrum zu beantworten. Zwar haben man durchaus auch Windows-Server, aber die meisten laufen mit Linux, so Gernhardt.” (29. Juni 2025) https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/muenchen-verwaltung-open-source-it-microsoft-li.3256886
So Linux on servers, Windows including MS Office on desktops. The migration to Linux on desktops was completely reversed.
So where is ““hell no!” (prob in German) and continued the Linux rollout”? Where has it been “garbage misinformation”? Where are the exact stats about opening tickets? After all, you claim “Linux users filling only 40% the number of tickets the Windows users did”. That’s pretty specific.
they have loads of patents that are hard to avoid
China doesn’t care about patents of outsiders.
Once these countries leave, they’ll never go back.
Look up LiMux and the massive Microsoft deal that followed.
There is only one piece of software named Linux and that’s the kernel. Android is as much a legitimate distribution of Linux as is Alpine Linux.
As a text editor (which is different from an IDE, obviously) just use KWrite or GEDIT (or whatever Gnome uses these days).
Luckily I bought the prime version in 2018 or so for a few cents. Means I only have to configure Lawnchair when I get a new phone. Win for laziness.
Just get the older APK form one of the mirror sites.
It’s a PR stunt if 99% AI is fine.
So 99% AI is OK if the last 1% was made by non-AI, a real dog bark or so.
Doesn’t change that the cited growth happened recently which is years after the takeover.
