We all demand Windows but without ads, but that doesn't cause the market to spit one out. The OS market isn't a healthy market, and government is stepping in here in part because of that market failure to provide a satisfactory solution here.
- txrx0000 7mo agoThe smartphone OS market is not healthy precisely because manufacturers lock their bootloaders (among other anti-competitive tricks, like a proprietary IMS stack), which stifles market competition. The desktop OS market does not have this problem. There are many Linux distros and they're getting better everyday, they'll eventually replace Windows as Windows slowly enshittifies.
