Would you use Linux as your main workstation OS if Microsoft ported Windows Desktop Environment to Linux?

What if it was proprietary and required you to pay for license?

That's not how Windows looks at all

No, I will never ever switch from the OG Windows, if they die then I won't use my PC anymore.

Who gives a shit about the Windows DE?

There's loads of those to choose from on GNU/Linux.

What really matters is program compatibility.

If your post was asking about a perfect Windows compatibility layer devolped by Microsoft for GNU/Linux, that was also proprietary... now then we would be getting somewhere...

y tho. You could get any DE setup you want. I need compatibility for programs (aka WINE) not a lookalike UI
>>
>>53779511
pffff. no. already use GNU plus Linux, and never going back to the clusterfuck windows is.

Not OP
>>53780378
Wine is shit though. When the DX11 version comes out then it would be much better.

>>53780398
I would never go to the clusterfuck that is Linux. Ok I am just joking, I actually love Linux, but I need my programs. The day that Linux gets the support of all developers I will switch 100%

>>53779538
>>53779677
Naw you are not a shill man. I understand why you would not wanna switch, I would be on the same boat.

Mac is a joke. all Linux is a joke. get windows and do ur shit on there and no worries about sudo get app shit. Literally third world OS IMO and don't even reply about this fact. I Actually use programs n shit so fuck the WIP Linux tryhards.

>Truth is I need a new OS after all these Win10 problems, though.

Yes but I mean I need the functionality. The windows DE doesn't provide anything for Linux that I can't already get. Wine does (if it works properly)
