gets some proper corpo backing for a real normie distro people can finally use.
My fantasy is Tesla and Valve work together on a new general OS for the people. Actually Tesla likes telemetry and forced updates so let's leave it up to Valve.

We're already getting DIE purity testing in the OSS projects managed under Redhat/IBM. Just let computing for normies die, they clearly don't need it and make things worse for everyone.
Linux is never going to be a viable replacement for Windows unfortunately. I can't think of a pithy way to phrase it, but by it's nature it will never be coherent and reliable enough with a cohesive design such that it can take the place of Windows. It's simply a byproduct of its nature as an open source OS. At best it can be a stop-gap for dedicated autists looking to escape the Microsoft environment but it will never reach the point where it's going to be a functional replacement for the Windows desktop.
Linux as an escape hatch is outright cope and willful denial of reality.
You're highlighting my point by lamenting the need to herd the cats into achieving anything meaningful. Linux will continue to be what it always was and not what people wish it could become.

Valve also likes telemetry AKA spying plus forced updates.
The Steam Deck already runs on Linux...
All we need is a compatible PC OS, and we're there.

my distro just updated from plasma5 to plasma6. suddenly all the file-manager shortcuts were changed.
from a simple f10 to make a new folder to the shitty windows 3-button shortcut.
linux is already on it's way to become as user-unfriendly and shit as windows.
Mint.
