This will be the first day in years I will try to make gaming work on Linux once again.

As much as I'd like a Linux rise from this, I think it's not unlikely Google will make a desktop OS (not the half done chrome OS.

They would probably shut it down after 2 years. Sooner if it was any good.

I don't really know how your gonna sell people on this exactly. Like people will just stop buying laptops. The average person just buys a laptop at walmart in the desired size, from any brand. They don't even really think about windows. I just don't really see this working for anyone. What will end up happening is Chromebooks will overtake the laptop market if microsoft goes all in on this.

I would happily subscribe to an operating system for a fair price, as long as it's stable, compatible, has timely security updates and - and I highly doubt MS will do this one - without any bloat-, nag- or crapware. Make your default browser a browser, not a spying shopping coupon Bing AI mess. Let me choose the search engine the start menu uses (or use none at all), stop telling me to sign into OneDrive every chance you get, fuck off with your widgets, etc.

If I pay, you have no business trying to fuck me over, Microsoft.

I'll just use the pirated versions with the malware ripped off of it, thank you. Tiny11 is a beauty to run already.

Look at reactOS for a redo of golden-age windows.
