They'll force this shit eventually. Hopefully someone sees this and makes a proper competitor for operating system king sometime soon. I could see Musk doing it if someone pitches the idea to him right.

LOL. Musk will peek into your files just as bad (maybe worse) than windows. Musk hasnt made any 'privacy respecting' products, yet.

True, but he also seems like a decently smart business man who is slightly less bad (I know that's bad, but we don't exactly have some paragons of virtue to pick from) who should understand the "privacy respecting" part pretty much IS the selling point. Leave a man to hope.

He's no less bad in his prior tech ventures. He's sold countless products that do anything but protect your privacy. if he made your OS, it would probably respond to a Musk Server every minute via a gps encoder you cant uninstall, or collect every keystroke (similar to MS) or only allow MUSK^TM brand software, or require a very expensive SDK to write for, or something else stupid. musk is based as a tweeter, but the corporations he runs are anything but libre and privacy friendly. Telsa only recently released part of the code of their software that runs on open source. and its old code. Maybe he wont run it like his other companies, but I think its very probable that he would.

Whatever, give it a try.

This is a pipe dream to be perfectly honest.

I'm still using Windows 7.

I'm using a monthly service called 0patch that provides microcode security patches - it basically patches programs on the fly and/or the OS on the fly when I launch them and the microcode security patches keep up with the current Windows 7 "Extended Support" that organizations are paying thousands of dollars for. There's still security updates for Windows 7 officially from Microsoft but they're hidden behind an enterprise paywall and you have to do some pain in the ass stuff to get them if you try to do workarounds/hacks - 0patch is kind of a bypass for it.

I've learned to live with workarounds for a majority of the stuff I use and play to get it to work.

Linux with Wine for when you need windows comparability.

But really the answer is Android which is just user friendly Linux.
