Politics aside, Microsoft does some things light years better than anyone. Linux is my preferred OS, but most of my favorite features are the ones people accuse of being "Too Windows like". I kinda would have liked to see what would happen if Linux Standard Base had really taken off. Move fast and break things sucks. Modern windows mostly sucks because of forced updates, which are in a way kind of the same idea. Tech should work. Every time you turn on the computer you should.be confident it will work, even if you updated yesterday after not updating for three months. Even if there's a hardware issue it should still work if software can work around. Reliability should not be sacrificed for beauty or simplicity or keeping developers from getting bored. Pipewire does it right. It's backwards compatibile with Pulse/JACK/ALSA. Just like systemd is partly backwards compatibile with sysvinit.
