there is literaly nothing wrong with term "apps"
>>56264278
coupled with app store it lets you view, remove and update installed apps. Am I missing anything that's supposed to be in a package manager?

Remove all ability to play games. I want my OS to be productive.

>>56264066
Remove telemetry and ads completely, distinguish kernel and userland so people can actually seamlessly change DEs, use bash as shell, build a real package manager with an optional GUI front-end to Windows store, include linux binary and Zfs/ext4/btrfs compatibility, have live ISOs and make a minimal server brunch

nigger I came to /g/ to find a thread specifically devoted to windows so I could tell you a little
about the location icon in the system tray. Needless to say it disappeared upon hovering the
mouse pointer over it. Location "is" turned off, of course.
