I coincidentally installed Linux Mint today and I'm not going back.

If Microsoft does that I'm wiping out my laptop and going back to Linux*

* only reason I moved away is I bought a new laptop to replace my 2010 Mac mini that ran LinuxMint, and the laptop came preloaded with Windows 11 and I decided to just keep using it as-is as I liked the UI.

Fun fact: it is not an entirely new idea. Microsoft did something similar with Active Desktop in Windows 98 but was later removed.
