windows 11

Edit: article doesn't confirm it's windows 11 exclusive, but there is copilot integration, which is sketchy.

They should revive Windows

The second coming... Windows X.

  • Linux kernel (bye-bye, NT)
  • Open source the entirety of WHQL
  • DirectX cross-platform runtimes
  • PipeWire as default audio server
  • Option to remove anything
  • No ads in the start menu

Prepare foot and take aim for Apple's ass.
