    Always remember: Your OS should do nothing more than provide a GUI for you to access apps and run apps. Anything else is not necessary.

      I also want it to have a built-in clock and calendar in the taskbar. But Microsoft won’t even let me have that! They got rid of the calendar!

        I still see a calendar if I click the clock on my work laptop. Though that might have been one of the settings I clicked while wondering why MS even thought this should change.

          Ah, you’re right. Instead of bringing up the calendar, it brings up notifications, and you have to click a little pop-up button to see the calendar. Thank God I only have to worry about this on my work computer.

      From a non-technical user’s pov kinda true.

      But not true at all when you enumerate the actual responsibilities of an OS.

      The OS shouldn’t even do that. That’s the job of the display manager and desktop environment
