does the public really want more garbage than they already has?

Do you not want all the hardware support Linux is missing to suddenly become available?

The kernel and NTFS seem decent from what i heard. Or at least was (the kernel, no guess what they vibecoded into it now).

About NTFS: it was actually pretty good for it's time (90s), but the tooling makes no use of some of it's better features and abuses some others close to breaking point. Literally pearls for the sows.

There were decent (at least, worked for me) NTFS drivers for Linux like 20 years ago. (Back when I felt the need to dual boot)
