“ He who fights with Windows should see to it that he himself does not become Windows. And when you gaze long into ntoskrnl, ntoskrnl also gazes into you. ” Seriously, is it really a victory if you have to adopt the architecture of your sworn enemy?
What you care more about? technical details or real-world outcomes?

Microsoft/Xbox is in the process of losing the living room permanently in the next gen if you ask me. I don't know what they could do spanner tossing wise to really screw w/ Linux gaming at this point that wouldn't just drive more frustrated customers off their platform.
Their gaming marketshare is minuscule both on PCs and consoles already. It's a downward spiral for years already.

The vast majority of the TVs only come with HDMI .. not even good enough analog inputs anymore..

In good faith, you can't really say "[x] is shit" if you don't have an usual setup; X11 is no longer the default on most distros. Even when I was also using it, it never crashed. I don't know whether your GPU is older than mine or not but I have the RX 7700XTX. Maybe it had a software defect...
I wonder what spanners Windows can throw into the works to slow them down at this point, or if they're so checked out of the Desktop market as they suckle down hard on that Azure teat, that they're more than happy to let Linux eat their lunch
You are not gonna get promoted slowing down Linux gaming at MS today, the thing they want is Netflix of gaming where the platform doesn’t matter but everyone’s paying them $20 a month
