    Microsoft is constantly experimenting with how far they can push users into a corner and get away with it. There might be a day when Microsoft caves and releases a Windows that is more like what we wanted, but I imagine it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. We have not yet seen the worst MS has to offer force upon us.

      I thought that was going to be with Windows 10’s forced updates and telemetry, but people just stopped caring. I’m pretty much assuming that’ll be the same for the current batch of nonsense. I can’t imagine how bad it would have to get for the general public to say “enough is enough”.

          It WOULD if someone could create something that’s essentially Android on PC.

            Pop_OS! and Mint feel very similar to this with their application centers. I feel as though this need could be considered met.

            Though I run arch and if you dont like the CLI you’re gonna hate it. It just depends on the distro you choose.

            Work in progress, it will get there one day.

            But it is good enough for most PC gamers which is attracting a lot of development that makes Linux more friendly.

              OOOOOHHHH!!! Is this able to be run on Raspberry pi 4??? 4GB model? I would LOVE to try this out for a weekend on one of my spare memory cards.

                  But what about ReactOS that you linked. Will it run on Raspberry Pi 4?

                Not sure what you’re asking. Linux is able to run on a Pi 4 just fine. If you want to play games, you’ll need to emulate x86 using either Box64 or FEX, but there will be performance issues.

      Just look at how bad the car industry is now. Your car spies on EVERYTHING.

      Windows can still get a lot worse before we begin to see an improvement.

      That’s fine. I’ll just stick with Windows 7 for the next 30 years.
