It seems like Microsoft has realized its Windows FSE isn't enough to match SteamOS game mode — but it has a new project to solve it
www.techradar.com
Microsoft is currently in an ongoing battle to improve Windows 11 for idle use and gaming to compete with SteamOS, and it has a big plan for it.

Microsoft is working on a new project labeled Windows ‘K2’, intent on removing bloatware, reducing AI, and optimizing Windows 11 for gaming, with three focuses of ‘performance, craft, and reliability’.

the issue is not about performance, is about enshitification. I mean, do we need TPM? do we need Microslop account to login our pc/laptop? do they really need to shove Copilot into Windows?

    Rather than a dedicated release (or update) for Windows 11, project K2 is Microsoft’s effort to maintain high quality across current and future versions of the OS, prioritizing consistency, and ultimately win back the trust of users.

    This reads as a big nothing. So they’re going to focus on making quality software now? Can I ask where that ranked on their priority list prior and where does it rank with ‘project K2’? Something tells me it’s somewhere in the double digits still. But it’s an ‘effort’ now!
