- This still has a "sometimes" on it, there are more then a few games that need magic proton flags to run well, nothing you can't go look up on protondb, but lots of games you would want to play with friends might have some nasty anti-cheat on it that just won't let you play it at all.
- I don't think its Microsoft directly that care about gaming, There are a few factors at play. but every time a game is ported to a Playstation/Switch its being ported to a form of Linux, and in most cases the Graphics APIs are the same. Its the companies making the game have no incentive to port to Linux if the tiny user base is fine with Proton and dealing with its hacks.
- I've found and some have proven that sci-fi is just a setting of sorts, a background to the story at hand. For instance the Backyard Starship series is 100% a detective / cop novel set in space. Asimov did one called The Naked Sun that was pretty much a murder mystery and from what I understand written to prove a point that sci-fi really is just a setting to what ever main genre you want out of it.

I feel the 25$ is worth it for a product that I use this much and along with knowing the costs of trying to keep all this stuff alive at the smaller scale can be hard. until they get much larger I don't expect the prices to go down.
- Hyper-V as a Service ish?
I have a use case to have a need to provision at will hyper-v instances for others to have control over fully. I've looked into proper things for things like SCVMM and Azure local and really they do suck..
So off to build a set of automation scripts to provision hyper-v inside of hyper-v attached to S2D shares and give students admin access to them and work in teams to build things on their own.
Its going to suck... I've done this exact use case using openstack, incus, proxmox and they all kinda suck...
I need project isolation, I need freedom, I need compliance.
The compliance is where I'm stuck with hyper-v due to the powers to be....
Wish me luck!
