I hate the fact how Windows S is shaping up to be a completely walled garden. Not even CMD and Powershell?? I hope they still spend enough time on actual versions of Windows which are used by power users.

  I didn't leave yet. I think Windows is fine. Runs pretty stable. In the last decade, I had like 2 bluescreens on windows, and one was caused by accidentally bumping really hard into my PC, causing a kernel panic because of a voltage drop, and the other was a broken driver. Linux still has a long way to go when it comes to UI, drivers and video games.

    YMMV. Across several of my phones, my Linux servers and my Windows desktops; My desktops seems to be 'recovering from graphic card crashed' once every few weeks. It also depends how you count. Numerically, the games produced for Android far outnumber the AAA titles.

      I'm not gonna lie, I think most Android games are very bad and give 1 hour of enjoyment at the most. Gaming on a touch screen is some of the worst UX you can have imho.

        Oh I agree with you on that one. They are stable games, just not on the production level with your average PC game. About the UX, not sure if it's just me, but I want more character or object control when playing a game. I guess I have played on a keyboard+mouse for far too long. Phones/consoles just don't have the same level of satisfaction for me.

How do you run bash inside Chrome?

    Which also works on Edge, so given that Windows 10 S is targeted to the same education market that is buying Chromebooks, I don't see any problem.

Is all automation for Windows 10 S supposed to be performed only via domain policies? For the Windows admin crowd out there, how realistic is that?

  Domain use is not supported either. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4020089/windows-10-s-faq https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4020089/windows-10-...
