Tech illiterate fag here. Outside of profit why don't companies like Windows just create one operating system and endlessly update it instead of creating a new OS?

kill yourself

You started out your question by answering it.

>>105801526 (OP)
I would do this
1)M$ grab linux kernel
2)Remove all rust shit from it
3)Create a Desktop environment with a high quality winapi layer that works as good at least like proton
4)Add a good active security layer (if you claim that Linux is safer than windows or mac you are retarded)
Thats all you need to have a high quality OS

>>105801526 (OP)
Because they make $billions selling new licenses, and they're in bed with computer manufacturers who make $billions selling new computers.

Kim Wong - Wong from Pyongyang would find a vulnerability, kill yourself microsoftroon

Frontends are dead. Soon AI will be your only interface.

What prevents me from running this in gentoo?

>>105801691
you are retarded and tech illiterate if you think this will work.
Command line users are practically chatbot users, because the cli is practically an autistic chatbot, currently you can interface your command line with any LLM.
But for the average user this won't work because there are many tasks that requires visual and silent interaction.
Not all users wants to be typing or dictating shit you are delusional.

nothing thats what is amazing , M$ only have to do a DE.

>>105801769
And what makes you think that they want give up their grip over the hardware?

>>105801526 (OP)
>make arbitrary rules which hardware can run your shitware
>people buy new computers
>make money from licenses

I see this >>105801584 happening some time after Windows 12 when all the jeets have been flushed, if we don't enter another AI winter and if Cloud Computing doesn't crash.
Microsoft doesn't seem to be interested to really invest into their Desktop Operating System anymore and have dipped their toes into Linux a few times now.
They used to sell a UNIX operating System (Xenix) from 1980 to 1991. It was damn good, but also too damn expensive to run on a home computer and if the home computer revolution had started 10 years earlier (which would have microsoft given a reason to make a better deal with AT&T), I'm sure windows would have been a fierce competitor to the X windowing system instead of being its own OS. Windows literally started out as a program that ran on top of MS DOS, you used to launch it like you launch X with startx in semi-headless Linuxes right now.

They're in a transitional period trying to walk the same path that apple is walking with their customer business. If the stars align just right, it might happen that they'll lose their choke-hold on customer hardware.

Have you seen Star Trek? How do people interface with their AI computer on Star Trek? With a CLI? No. They literally talk to their Computer and if they need more precise controls they input what they want into a GUI with a touchscreen (LCARS). The same way you can talk to chatGPT or Gemini right now. The same way you've been talking to Siri and google Assistant for the past 15 years. Just more advanced.

You clearly are not understanding, and is probably because you are not a CLI user
if you interface any LLM to your CLI you get that done https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/tools/bash/
WE ALREADY HAVE THIS DONE
But you are not understanding that from UX perspective the touch and visual part is >=80% more userfriendly and private than voice prompting.

I already hate siri and alexa
imagine being in a restaurant surround by monkeys screaming "HEY [insert here the name of your favorite stochastic parrot]"

>Autism runs rampant
People don't have to use the AUI, they can still use the GUI what's not to get? You are not being forced to use a CLI to interface with AIs.
