From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I mean that Windows in S mode only allows apps through the app store. From their FAQ:

What apps can I use on a PC that's running Windows 11 in S mode?

You can download and install apps from the Microsoft Store in Windows[...]

Note: If you switch out of S mode, you can install x86 Windows apps that aren’t available in Microsoft Store in Windows.

How do I switch back to S mode?

Switching out of S mode is one-way. If you switch out of S mode, you'll need to keep using the standard version of Windows 11.

Is this like some kind of display or safe mode?
