Yeah, so: Microsoft spent too much money on "AI" hype without any real robust use cases and before seeing what the public could or would actually do with it, and now, rather than admit they were very very wrong to do so, they're trying to LITERALLY manufacture consent via a whole new keyboard form factor.
Which: Yikes.

Hopefully this sort of thing iwll push people towards Linux based systems, sure we can integrate AI but that could be a specific distribution and the user has more chouce and more control over it.
Rather than this being forced on users.
MS should look what happened when System D was almost forced on people, People moved to System V distros or created forks that still used system v

Hardly anybody will switch do Linux over this. Most people still hardly know how to turn on their computer, much less that there's a choice of operating system. And that's even before the barrier to change, because they know Windows to the extent that they use/need it. And even if you get a Linux distro to behave similarly, most would still not be inclined to switch. It comes with the computer and it gets used the way it is unless regulations change when it comes to OEM options
