I’m seeing people online talking about how Genshin Impact has sucked on the Pixel 10 all these months. That’s insane. 5 year old game that’s incredibly popular. I don’t get how Google can be so comfortable being so mediocre as a vertical integrator. Apples transition to internal CPU and later GPU went way smoother than Googles. Apple going from powerpc to x86 and then x86 to arm felt like they both had less growing pains then when google stayed in ARM but started using their in house Tensor chips with mali graphics and now powervr

I feel like things in the consumer software space for Linux is getting there like desktop Linux ~10 years ago. Waydroid is solid. Android translation layer is in development. Valve with Steam machines.

Krita and GIMP look to be in good positions. Kdenlive doesn’t crash all the time anymore. Can have good consumer interest synergy between regular Linux/SteamOS/Pop_OS if they ever get big selling hardware and Linux phones

Android apps needed as part of the proposition now. But eventually over many many years there should eventually be a good ecosystem of Linux native phone apps

A good amount of devs cared about the PS Vita and a good amount care for getting a Steam Deck verified badge. If the Machine can pull off another 5-10 million Linux user, not bad. Not many studios focus on the RTX 4090/5090. The most popular console of the last decade was the first Switch. PC emulation on Android as it matures may be a bigger target someday to attract sales for developers
