Dear Microsoft, please release an open source window manager that runs on linux. You can call it windows. If you add tiling support I will never touch another Mac. Only you can usher in the era of the linux desktop. Make Linus’ dream a reality. Humbly, your servant.

there is a hint of /s here, but the linux desktop world is a complete mess imo. windows going head to head with the incumbents like gnome could be huge for linux. I know I would be very interested to see what ms could do in this space.

I’m actually pretty serious and mostly poking fun at myself for how excited I would be if MS actually did this.
