Yes - but this will be the year of Linux on the desktop.

one of the more interesting things about the harnesses and agents is that they solve a lot of the ops issues in both linux and windows desktops.

A prompt with - "disable telemetry, disable useless services and memory hogging ones, disable auto restart" makes windows quite bearable.

The core difference there being, those settings will stick on Linux, and Microsoft will happily revert them next Windows feature update without telling you.
Not when you have disabled the updates and put the script in scheduled tasks.
Sysiphus be like
And then on the next Windows update they will all be turned back on again.
