Considering the ending, it’s not the worst cancellation Max has done. On the other hand, I really liked watching it, and I’ll be sad it’s gone.

So men like all of the bad programming languages, while boys are really into emojis (not a huge fan, unless they’re custom). It appears that whole gender is thoroughly cringe, and they should all choose a better gender.

It says in the article that windows sandbox is using a “base image”. It boots up the image, you do stuff then close it, and the next time you boot it up it’s the base image again. Is that not what a template VM would do?

The primary difference between a usual VM template and this is that it’s small. “When installed the dynamic base package it occupies about 100MB disk space”. That’s because it’s essentially mounting a bunch of the system files immutably. You could theoretically do the same on Linux, but it probably wouldn’t be worth the effort.

Most of the advancements they have is under the hood stuff, like linking files instead of directly including them or managing memory. Battery state pass through and graphics OOTB is cool though, depending on your setup you might have to put in a bit of work to make that happen on Linux.

From what I see, windows sandbox is literally a template VM.

“So Linux is free and doesn’t waste any more time than the alternative” at 8:13.

Linux will install faster than Windows, installing applications will be faster than Windows (because of the builtin graphical app manager, which unlike the Microsoft Store has most everything you want), and most of those burn all your time common bugs are fixed now. I have a computer running Fedora Silverblue, which I’ve done less than an hour of configuration with, and it’s had no issues playing videogames, doing blender, web browsing, or any of the other normal things.

I even have keys from windows 11 computers. I don’t use any of them (but also don’t really want to share, as that could encourage Windows use), so it doesn’t really matter.

I also tend to take friends old junk computers, and most people go through the upgrade of 7->10.

Lame and takes effort. Honestly, I already have several windows keys (ebay hardware moment).

Buying operating systems is not worth it. Just use Linux.

Most of these problems are literally just capitalism. This solution is just a band aid, and even then is unlikely to be implemented in a way that will help the problem.
