It WOULD if someone could create something that's essentially Android on PC.

Pop_OS! and Mint feel very similar to this with their application centers. I feel as though this need could be considered met.

Though I run arch and if you dont like the CLI you're gonna hate it. It just depends on the distro you choose.

Work in progress, it will get there one day.

But it is good enough for most PC gamers which is attracting a lot of development that makes Linux more friendly.

OOOOOHHHH!!!! Is this able to be run on Raspberry pi 4??? 4GB model? I would LOVE to try this out for a weekend on one of my spare memory cards.

Linux will run on it. But you need a gaming rig to game tho lol

But what about ReactOS that you linked. Will it run on Raspberry Pi 4?

I am see people getting confused a lot here tbh

I am wondering if it is a front end issue.

On Kbin it is sometimes hard to track eho is responding to who lol

Not sure what you're asking. Linux is able to run on a Pi 4 just fine. If you want to play games, you'll need to emulate x86 using either Box64 or FEX, but there will be performance issues.
