Windows 11 will create heaps of needless trash
The hype train is already starting RE: &quot;people will switch to Linux, etc etc&quot;. MS for once abandons the backwards compatibility obsession, albeit in an understandable but not user-facing, palatable way as with a unified UI - and is dammed to Techlord Mordor. Poor strategy aside, MS just can&#x27;t win with everyone, the divide is particularly stark for their user base. IMO though they should never have been remotely as lenient over the control panel UI and such, or should&#x27;ve launched a reworked OS dubbed &quot;tileOS&quot; that cleaved off cruft, nix-based with a unified touch &amp; a great package manager, terminal for the backend.<p>It feels to me like the current strategy splits too many hairs. Apple understood this, which is why they haven&#x27;t launched MacOS RT&#x2F;10X then scrapped it or some jazz. (And to be clear the issue with 10X is it that it wasn&#x27;t really approxmating a cleaned up version of Windows - just a ChromeOS competitor for low-cost garbage)<p>Oh, but as for Linux on the desktop - the only way that happens is probably MS throwing in the towel (which is a poor phrase given the context would almost certainly be a boon to most everyone) adopting the Linux Kernel or some FreeBSD core, with a compatability layer for Win32 bullshit.
