or, maybe more hopefully, Windows as a whole becomes a legacy platform soon :)

Emacs is a serious tool, you choose it first and only then prioritize on the OS. It's like complaining that editing videos with Adobe Premiere on Linux is not a very solid experience, or something like that. Well, if you're a pro video-editor and you must use Premiere, then maybe you need a non-Linux box to do that?

I like to tell people that consumer OSes are just Emacs hypervisors. And it's pretty clear which are better or worse :)

		It's almost not even funny, but I tangle all my dotfiles from an org-mode file. The files it generates are all read-only - to discourage me from writing in them directly. This makes my OS config semi-immutable. Bootstrapping a system from scratch takes no longer than a few minutes and the biggest bottleneck is properly getting access to that dotfiles.org and installing Emacs. This has worked for years and that's why I never had to really learn Nix. I guess Emacs for me is the "true OS", and whatever on top is "just kernel stuff"

Ask Valve how it is going with their plans to drop Proton.

Proton is the shim for backwards compatibility with a messy legacy system. We've all been there.

And we've also seen how legacy systems refuse to die :(

Source?

		What source? It is quite obvious without Proton there are no games for SteamOS.
