Nah, they say the first Windows 10X machines will be "powered by intel" in their initial announcement.

multi-file search and replace of "Windows 10®" to "Windows 10X®" across the whole windows repo taking way longer than expected?

what does "get Windows 10X on single-screen devices" even mean

10x is just literally the dual screen os and they said that it wouldn't be replacing normal windows 10 on normal devices

Thurott seems to think it's their latest attempt at Windows 10, but with a new UI - but because all previous efforts have failed miserably, they're branding it as "for dual screen devices only" for the moment.

centering the taskbar icons so that the start button is in a variable position depending on how many things you have open sounds like a great idea

i like it, but it is a special 2020 kind of comedy that you likely need to configure it, and pressing the cogwheel pops a pile of json in an editor.

there's a bug where the refresh rate drops to like 24hz and in the github comments the msft guy is asking for hardware recs that aren't as expensive as a 1080ti and some gamer monitor

oh yeah i mean if you care about that stuff then stick to WSL2 bash or even plain old powershell lol

didn't that guy basically say all the console emulators on windows are trash though?

the one that comes with windows 10 has bad drawing bugs with curses style stuff (e.g, tmux) that makes it unusable. i'm trying the new one and it's got it's own set of crap

also in complete comedy you break the new terminal terribly if you set history to more than about 9000 lines. which was the hard limit of the old terminal. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

using wsl2, new terminal and visual studio code has been a real pleasure though. a pleasure intermingled with a clear feeling that there is all kinds of very un-microsoftian duct-tape keeping my experience together, but so far a pleasure nonetheless.
