Is Windows 10X a new operating system?

Is Windows 10X a new operating system or just a new edition, like Home and Pro?

I have heard both, because I have heard that it should be a new operating system based on Windows Core OS, as well as that it should only be a new edition, which should also run on dual display devices.

I also heard that it should come on laptops first and that even insider builds for Windows 10X will appear soon.

Please justify the answer to the survey, not just select it

Microsoft has clearly said that Windows 10 will remain the "last" and they just want to keep improving it.

A new version like XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10 should no longer exist

Have already read this article, but did not answer my questions, which is why I asked the question here.

I'm aware that not everything will be redone (e.g. Settings, store, apps, …). But somehow it can't fall into the classic Windows family either, as it does

1) Based on Core OS and not on NT

2) if it were part of the Windows NT family, it could replace Windows 10, but it won't, because according to Microsoft it is technically not possible.

I was much more concerned with the question of whether you can expect Windows 10X to do something differently than classic Windows 10 (not like Windows 10 S wanted to do it differently, but in a different way). Win32 programs can be run in a container, with Windows 10 S or Windows RT you could use apps from the store.

Yes, I heard that too, but Windows 10X can still be a new operating system. Windows 10 is based on the NT Kernel and Windows 10X on the Core OS Kernel, so they do not use the same basis.

Microsoft said back then that Windows 10 was the last Windows, and they keep improving it. But they did not say that they do not use any other operating system, that they call it similar (in this case 10X).

This is reasonably explained here: https://www.howtogeek.com/442767/what-is-windows-10x-and-how-is-it-different/

Looks like it's based on Core OS. You will hardly be able to call cmd there.

PS: design knowledge questions as a survey? Well, it fits well with the zeitgeist…

I see it that way, the only problem is that I have heard a lot of different information, so the question

Gu

Windows is bad

Ma

Windows 10 is based on the NT kernel

Not right.

Many functions have been taken over by the Linux kernel and the Windows 10 IoT version already uses a Linux kernel. At the beginning, Windows 10 had the Nt kernel, but was gradually removed with updates and patches and replaced by the Linux kernel. Therefore you can also execute various commands under Linux in the terminal (CMD).

Microsoft plans to switch to the Linux kernel in the future and set the NT kernel to EOL.

Addendum

If this really happens, Microsoft will have lost its monopoly status in the software world and Linux would then be a monopoly. Then no windoof user can say he doesn't know Linux.

Ma

Correctly

Linux is and remains the best

as I understand it, it's an optimized version of Windows 10 for multi-screen devices

But it is a difficult question, which is probably not so easy to answer, or the answer will still be published

Where does this info come from? A Linux kernel is now delivered with WSL, correct. But it does not replace the NT kernel

Unfortunately yes

If you know the Halloween documents, this is sometimes a logical conclusion that Microsoft has lost the fight against open source. And it has already shown this with Windows IoT (Internet of Things).

https://de.wikipedia.org/...-Dokumente

It has long been known that Open Micrsoft is now committed to open source.

Microsoft also likes to manipulate the media with fake statistics just to stay in the conversation or to draw others' attention to Microsoft.

See it all very differently from you when it comes to Microsoft, Windows and Linux. Microsoft certainly does not replace the Windows kernel with a Linux kernel. Wouldn't make sense either. However, it would make sense if the Windows kernel were based on the Linux kernel. You claim that Microsoft has already completely replaced the Windows kernel with the Linux kernel.

Then please explain to me why the Windows Boot Manager only recognizes Windows and for example no Linux distribution (namely I have installed Linux parallel to Windows and the Windows Boot Manager does not show any of the Linux distributions)?

That Microsoft is now committed to open source is correct and a good thing, but they will certainly not, as I said, replace Windows Kernel with a Linux Kernel (although I wonder how they can use a Linux Kernel in parallel to that Windows Kernel in WSL 2, because WSL 2 uses a Linux kernel).

My guess: Microsoft is planning an operating system with Windows 10X, which is based on the Core OS kernel, which in turn is very much based on Linux (i.e. Core OS is such a Linux kernel as the Ubuntu kernel). Windows 10 and Windows 10X exist in parallel, although Microsoft will likely put Windows 10 into maintenance mode and discontinue it at some point and offer Windows 10X as a new Windows (based on Core OS (or Linux)) and the only Windows. Incidentally, that should also mean that Windows 10X will be a completely new operating system for desktops, laptops, convertibles, tablets, dual-display devices, …

But I've never heard or read such a nonsense that Microsoft has replaced the Windows kernel with a Linux kernel. That would have to be justified very well so that I can believe it.

In my opinion, Windows is the best operating system there's, but it could improve by looking at a few functions of Linux, such as the update function and how programs are offered. I use Windows and a few Linux distributions in parallel on my laptop.

Exactly the fact that you can get updates from secure sources or repair them
