not what I want, I want Windows (as in, the existing Windows codebase) to become FOSS, if that happened, we would no longer need to care about anyone switching to Linux, in fact I might then install a FOSS Windows myself
Last I checked, their APIs are pretty terrible. Though that was over a decade ago.
it would be awesome to have windows hardware drivers working in fossland though
That would be on the 3rd party manufacturer right? Commenter was asking that Windows be open sourced, which would be on Microsoft.
