    I’ve seen the sneak peek of windows 12 (if that were true), it looks like gnome I think

      None of it is ever real. People post a ton of “concept” previews, that never look anything like the final product, because M$ are more concerned with selling your data, than making a functional OS

          My prediction is that windows 13 will stream from the cloud, your “windows” on your computer will be just a lightweight Linux OS branded by Microsoft to stream a windows VM from azure.

            No, they’re just going to make a lightweight NT Kernel that only has what’s needed to stream a Virtual Machine.

            Bold of you to assume they’d use software that’s already been built. They gotta reinvent the wheel every time.

        I’m still waiting for the Libre Office citrus UI… Although LO did manage to get their version of a ribbon into it. It’s still not quite there for me, though. Their icons are not as good and I get lost in their design choices.

      Doesn’t matter that much how it looks. It will be equally annoying and disturbed compared to windows 11, or worse. :)

      Microsoft stopped making operating systems for the user a long time ago.

        This is what happens if you let the services team design the OS, same is happening on iPhones as well, to be fair. On iPhone, it is just a little more decent.

          I personally see iphones as awful and a waste of money.

          You should get a android phone and install Lineage os. F-droid is the only app store you need.

            Yeah, F-Droid sucks. The team makes arbitrary rules for the packages that are not mentioned anywhere on their website and rejecting packages based on said arbitrary rules. Happened to me.

              The rules are fairly clear and are to protect the end users from abuse and anti features. F-droid doesn’t just deny you for no reason.

                As I said, it was a rule made up on a spot. Though recently I’ve read that they had a problem with one of the maintainers being a dick to people, so I’m curious if it was that one.
