it's such a flawed premise. literally nobody wants this.

maybe it's got appeal for like, bringing linux to the 3rd world?

hmm yes maybe if it's cheap enough it'll succeed where both surface and ipad pro have failed

What's wrong with ext4

it's a working file system and we can't have something that works in the linux thread

ubuntu is a consumer-level os for media consumption much like windows

so if you're not doing serious work on it it's fine

fun adventures in filesystems:

mac os lets you put a slash in filenames, but HFS+ can't let that happen, so it stores it in the file system as a colon
linux will happily copy files off an HFS+ drive and onto an NTFS partition, without complaining about the fact they have an illegal character in the name
windows refuses to open any folder containing files or folders with a colon in the filename, and will continue to refuse after you rename the offending file

seperately,
linux (and by extension the windows subsystem for linux) will gladly create a folder and a Folder with the same names with different case on a windows partition
the files in the second folder are completely inaccessible to windows as it will simply open the first one instead
linux doesn't care and in fact the developers say that "no, it is windows that is wrong"

sorting either of these out is a tremendous pain in the rear end

you can use a linux to put a con, prn, or aux folder in windows even though windows itself won't let you

fedora 30 with whatever version of gnome it ships with is perfectly acceptable for the desktop linux experience

i'm starting to think the real reason linux people love scrapping everything and starting over is now they've had to endure the horrors of actually using a computer
