Not really. This is an example of people going pretty overboard trying to convince people they still have options.
Now I get that linux is a viable alternative (heh, of course I'd say that).
It does take a certain commitment, but as people have spent the last day pointing out, linux might be very desirable as a way to escape the
forced incredibly pushy updates.
But the spiritual descendants of OS/2 and BeOS are not on my radar as being reasonable.
