Just fork it, do a complete rewrite in Rust, and call it “Runix”

More OS options is better for everyone.

The one thing stopping large scale adoption of linux is definitely the lack of options.

I just want WindowsXP without security risks. If Linux could make a WindowsXP clone, that works with exe files, and works exactly like WindowsXP, except handles modern standards, I would jizz all over the place.

Yeah. I'm leaving it in as motivation for linux developers. If they don't want to hear about my jizz spraying like a firehose, they should made LindowsXP.

SEE??? I EVEN GAVE YOU A GREAT BRAND NAME!
