Because it app is targeted for Windows, not Wine / Proton

And that concerns me a bit because we might always have a moving target with supporting Windows games, especially if Microsoft ever makes a big platform change.

Really, someone's gotta do something about that.

I had this idea a few years ago to make a campaign to build cheap short ads for Linux and advertise the hell out of them in China and India. You target a third of the world population with just two languages, and they are generally countries where things are cheap (including advertising).

Brains are neural networks, so you repeat "Upgrade to Linux" enough, it's gonna get learned. Unfortunately I never found the time to seriously pursue that. Wanna take up the job?

The job would be:

- (Have someone) Create a sexy website for upgradetolinux.com etc. Have it be simple, and cool, and confidence inspiring, but contentwise be essentially like, here's an ubuntu image (or something we settle on as best for general public), install it with these instructions
- Get funding (I'm sure this will be easy given the numerous Linux enthusiasts)
- Make sexy very short ads (I have a lot of ideas for these)
- Coordinate with somebody in China and India to register these ads with radios, newspapers, tvs, billboards etc (as much as funding allows)

Anyone?

You may want to be extra careful on the "sexy" parts :tongue:

"Penguin with female parts", now your day/night is ruined ;)
