There's already other more complete DX7 emulation solutions out there though... why limit yourself?

many native elements either do not function like people want or cannot be styled the same

Have you actually analyzed what your real bottleneck is?

Windows has implemented quite a few tricks to make this very difficult without setting off antivirus engines

That's funny because we have been shipping a commercial Windows app since XP that is keylogger-based using SetWindowsHookEx, and it has only tripped users' antivirus maybe 1 or 2 times in 20 years.

I wonder if there's a desktop distro out there that enforces sandboxed applications by default.

EasyOS is the first distro I've seen that at least runs every app as its own user by default, similar to Android.

That's great for you. But it also has tons of problems with a lot of other users. Including issues with proprietary drivers, XWayland compat for many apps/games, screen tearing, multi-monitor setups (esp. with different aspect ratios and/or dpi scaling factors), VRR, HDR, rotation, color management, many accessibility features etc.

if you think that's insane, you should see LibreJS.

besides p2p/onion type stuff hiding your IP on top of whatever you use, I think imageboards are the most private/anonymous.
