Nope, wouldn't do it. Would not buy a car with a OS that only lasts a few years.

Imagine you are a Windows refugee desktop user. You install Wine, perhaps configure it. Now what? Now that it's better and that's the problem with making something work fairly well, is now the ledge bar goes up. I wish Wine's usability was better. I would like to see some (optional) integration in Mint or Debian, somehow. Also with 4K, I had issues even seeing well enough to change the settings.

With Wine, I mostly have the 2 applications I really need that are missing in Linux: Full copy of 7Zip ( File Roller does not have enough settings), and Irfanview, which seems to have no equal under Linux, although, Xnconvert does do some chores. In the case of File roller, there is so much more power in 7zip, like much higher compression ratios, which are not available--without either command-line or the Windows GUI.

and we, we could move all of our nuclear waste up there. We're going to need some kind of space ship for moon-based chores. Wait! I have it, we can call them "Eagles", and we're going to need a lot of them....

Well, at least it's secure, right?

So, was the FAA just saving the airspace for commercial interests only?

All kidding aside, does anyone trust him?

For real-time price gouging, remember the electronic price gouging system in place at Wallmart. Insta-Gouge: P

If a war really came to America, nearly every computer that requires a connection with Microsoft wouldn't be able to login if something happened to Microsoft. That should not stand. Even where I have made gains using a local login, there are login errors, something that Windows 10 never did.

There! Put privacy and trustworthiness into Windows!

As a longtime Windows user, since 3.01, I stopped using Windows as my main system because AI was added and because of the presence of Recall. You can hid the AI, but it's still there. Also Bluetooth has been hobbled. Logs are still slow to read. Start menu is Microsoft's and not yours. The constant attacks on the Local Login and the Quick Launch are infuriating. My Window 11 systems fail to log in. Windows is now slower than Linux. As we are dragged into a RAM crisis, Windows irrecoverably bloated and fat. Generally, I feel that Microsoft made a wrong turn after 2000/XP, they got the UI better with 10. Bottom line: Windows 11 added nothing of value for the user--only Microsoft.

It doesn't matter how thinly veiled the whirling blades of privacy laceration are--someone will buy it. The Googlings and their AI will comment here.

Agreed.

You shouldn't think of computer programs anthropomorphically--they hate that.

Android is a cesspool because they do not care if vendors make unrealistic personal information demands. I think that comparatively, few people side-load, so Android is trying to scapegoat side loading for their ecosystem problems.

With enough money--you can do anything!
