Microsoft has reportedly started a new internal initiative to get Windows 11 running faster and more reliably. It's hoping to steer people away from the idea of ditching Windows in favor of a Linux gaming PC like the Steam Machine. With the Steam Deck's SteamOS having proven to run much faster than Windows 11 on identical hardware, Microsoft has plenty of catching up to do, but it thinks it can get there within two years. However, while improved performance would be great, Windows 11 has plenty of other issues that have led many gamers to start considering Linux gaming PC alternatives. If Microsoft is truly going to turn the tide, it might have to fix these issues, too.
