Windows 11 needs some serious work – but there’s a fantastic alternative I bet Microsoft won’t even consider

It’s no secret that things have been a little rough for Microsoft lately. Investors aren’t happy with the slow adoption of new Copilot features in Windows; consumers aren’t happy that Microsoft keeps cramming unwanted AI garbage into their systems; gamers aren’t happy that Windows 11 is far less stable as a PC gaming platform than Windows 10 was.

But I had a dream – not the Martin Luther King kind, the literal kind – last night. I was sitting at my PC, working in Windows – but it wasn’t the Windows I know today. No, it was a simplified version of Microsoft’s industry-dominating OS: no AI shovelware, no unnecessary features, no preloaded apps and intrusive widgets, no distractions. Just a basic desktop interface, with only the applications I chose to download.
