I saw J. Blow's post. I'd love to see a new OS. It's easy to get on the internet and provide armchair criticism, especially when you're as storied as he is, but how does that get funded? Who actually makes it happen? It is a fun thought experiment, but I fear for a world where some VC-backed startup creates a new pit to fall in.

If I've learned any lessons in building software, it's that you very often have to strangle the old to make way for the new, but you get stuck in hell if you try to do it all at once. Getting Linux adoption up and general support improved, and then leveraging it as a WSL-esque bootstrap into a new OS might be a way.

On Komorebi, put simply, as an OSS maintainer I think me and that maintainer see the world a very different way. Would use it if not for the approach to licensing - does look cool!
