    Maybe it’d be a new “Windows S Mode” situation.
    Got a new cheapo laptop? Enjoy our Secure Windows Home Basic (Linux + Windows DE) and install your apps ONLY from the Windows Store (that we made sure run in the new environment)
    Need full Windows? Upgrade to Pro.

      I wouldn’t hate a closed windows ecosystem on Linux. We would get the kernel patches and more software would work. Even if we didn’t get kernel patches because windows is scummy and ignores the gpl, a common abi would still be amazing
