Right now their page https://upgradefromwindows.com/ just redirects to https://www.fsf.org/windows which has a wall of text and an infographic. Even I, who doesn’t have windows and will never reinstall it unless forced, clicked away from the page within 5 seconds. The FSF desperately needs help with marketing and design, plus it would be great to have tooling for brain-dead linux installation (no, find distribution, backup, put linux on a USB-stick, reboot, hit some button to get into the BIOS, select “USB stick”, reboot, click through installation, find alternative software, is not brain-dead).

    I agree with most of that, I think VR should be somewhere far below “fancy app launch animations” considering how niche it still is.

      Chicken and egg. Also, do we need fancier launch animations? This eats into memory and performance. I already disable animations in Windows for this reason.

        My point was VR has been the next big thing for at least 35 years. Dedicating resources to native support for VR is a waste, a bigger one than fancy animations.

          In the past couple years, it’s improved radically since the “last 25 years” of that 35 year mark.
