#3It's such a shame because Windows is a good operating system for a lot of desktop use cases that happens to be smeared with shit all over the user interface. Honestly I'm expecting them to introduce mini advertisements in the task bar any time soon. It's not like those pixels are being used for anything when there aren't many windows open right?

#5Bad time to be pushing this crap with the Linux desktop wooing the gaming/ power user overlap crowd now that steam deck is on the
scene. I have been using Windows my whole life but now I have a PC dedicated to Linux for the 1st time and I'm thinking about seeing one up for my wife, as I'm sure Linux will be perform better on the older laptop I'm considering 'upcycling'. People forget that tech trends often flow outwards from the nerds who will actually try something new, then evangelize it to the world - see chrome for example

I assure you that Ballmer would at the very forefront of aping the latest disreputable, scummy dark patterns while missing the point and forcing tasteless, trashy, ineffectual money grabs that do much to waste your time and little to benefit Microsoft or anybody else.

#8This kind of crap is what made Windows 10 unusable for me. Everything was infuriating.
I’m not a fanboy of anything either. Win2K was great. macOS 10.1-10.4 was wonderful. BeOS, RISCOS, IRIX, NeXT, and even DRDOS have warm places in my heart.
These days, I use macOS because I find it the least annoying. It still has too many approval dialogs and notifications, but it isn’t quite as hostile as Windows. Linux and BSD are “fine” but there are other issues that I have with those ecosystems as far as usability is concerned.
I really hope SerenityOS continues its fast paced development and becomes usable for daily computing…

#9This is in the email that microsoftadvertising.com is sending unsolicited to the support email account of one of my sites:
“Microsoft Advertising 88 MILLION new desktop searchers joined last year
Search is at the center of online shopping 88-90% of online shoppers used search. Meanwhile, only 39% used social in their shopping journeys. Two. Most searchers are open to switching brands In fact, 3 out of 4 searchers we studied visited multiple brands' websites while they shopped.
Entice them to buy from your business with Dynamic Search Ads. Three. Online shopping journeys vary greatly On average, 45% of purchase journeys lasted 30+ days. But some, like grocery shopping, lasted only 2 days.
Target ready-to-buy shoppers with In-market audiences.“

Yes 2023 is sure to be the year of the Linux desktop. (/s)
The reality is the computer form factor involving a keyboard is slowly becoming more and more of a niche. Windows has a lock on this niche for business and gaming. For other home use there is strong competition from apple and for education there is strong competition from chromebook.
Linux is still not really in the running, sorry.
