I can't imagine this is entirely true. I bet they will charge for advanced features

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.

Good thing that not one OS is Windows in our household and workshop.

There is literally no advantage in using Windows anymore for us.

Great for you! My only reasons to stay stuck with Windows are 1. anti-cheat and 2. niche programs that don't work correctly under Linux because they use several Windows programs in daisy-chain

Laughing in Debian 12

meh debian is great as a server but needs a lot of work out of the box to be used as a desktop. Better off with mint if you want a great out of the box experience
