As far as I know, Microsoft has no patents related to linux and how it can run Windows games. Everything has been reimplemented from scratch on the linux side, there's no shared IP or patented techniques being used.
"Around here" is wherever they live, and we don't know because they didn't say. For all we know they could live on a farm without a single skyscraper nearby and what they said would be perfectly true.
Regardless, the brick facades on steel skyscrapers does not make them masonry building construction like in Op's picture.
OP's picture doesn't look like a steel frame structure to me. The stairways are usually a central part of a skyscraper frame, and this looks like freestanding masonry.
I took your advice. The tallest masonry building in the world is Philadelphia City Hall, and is only 9 floors. It was surpassed by the Singer Building which had 41 floors, but was steel construction.
So the person you're responding to is right. There's no 25 story brick buildings anywhere in the world.
I've seen maybe a dozen colors driving around my city. I thought the best looking one was gloss black, because it obscured the shape and made it look a bit more like a regular SUV.
Think of it more like a fight with your neighbor's landlord who's promoting bullshit with the HOA. Banning your neighbors from visiting doesn't really solve the issue and just hurts regular people.
I didn't even know Rogers offered hosting. Why anyone would buy hosting from a residential ISP, I have no idea. OVH shouldn't even be a competitor, they're a datacenter company, not an ISP (they probably have service contracts with multiple backbone providers that are only available in datacenter hubs, which are orders of magnitude more reliable).
I take my coffee black-hole seriously.
Looking at the ping you saw with Secure Core, this makes perfect sense. It's routing your packets out of the country and back through who knows how many stops. The other VPN you're testing is in your same city and adds basically no extra latency. You can't really blame Rogers for this, they're just following the laws of physics.
Your hardware is incompatible
I think you'll have an extremely hard time finding any hardware that supports Windows but can't run linux. With Win11 requirements it's much more likely to be the other way around.
Your applications/games only work well on native Windows
Personally, every game I care to run works perfectly fine on my Steam Deck. I refuse to play any games that require kernel-level anti-cheat. It's officially distributed malware if you ask me.
Maybe they're about to solder it on "dead-bug" style? lol
