My mom and my wife’s mom have computers soon to be out of support. Windows.
They need something stable, but also that does all their normal stuff. I’d love something that updated cleanly like enterprise Linux, but gave them the win7 interface they had for so long (they complain about this one now).
So that’s your market. Yeah, a wine box would work well, and Nobara is nearly the winning candidate. But even it requires a lot of finagling for windows people, and I’d love something completely seamless so it’s easier to support.
They’ve only almost barely nearly shat out a usable Unix with hurd. Give them another few decades, my dude!
Tech isn’t an airport: you don’t have to announce your departure.

An app THAT DOES WHAT? You may as well be asking for “a food I can eat bite by bite”.

Having said that, conectiva’s apt-rpm could upgrade and downgrade between major versions; and it worked really well!
