AYANEO will have their own OS called "AYANEO OS" based on Linux
Well I mean I think you can kill explorer.exe and use your custom ui (see cairo shell) but you can't completely rewrite compositor and add functionality to it

Open source desktop applications list
Cairo Shell is not really a "desktop app" and more of a "desktop" in itself.
- What has been your experience with alternative shells?

It seems like Hyper-V Server 2019 will be the last free hypervisor from Microsoft
This makes sense in both small and medium sized operations and can save quite a bit of money. Zero licensing costs, ease of administration, ease of backup, DR options from replication. You can even add a thin desktop layer with something like Cairo Desktop Environment to allow local management.

Pre installed software would be banned under antitrust package
And what does 'pre-installed' software mean? Windows Explorer (the start menu is part of this) is pre-installed and not core to the operating system, and third party solutions work (https://github.com/cairoshell/cairoshell for instance) - does the OS boot into nothing? Same goes with the default shell in Android

Auto Dark Mode + Neovim: Windows (maybe Linux?)
This solution uses Auto Dark Mode, which seems like the most popular application for theme changing functionality. However, any theme changer with scripting capability could be used.

Where's native Auto Dark Mode in Windows 10/11 Microsoft?
I do know that there's an app made for this specific reason, but it would be so much better if it was integrated in the OS, and i didn't need to have another application running on the background, and also some problems with the app that an OS integration would probably improve, is that whenever i have 2 separate desktops (Those you manage with Win + Tab), only the one focused gets changed to the theme i set based on the time. Please make this a native feature!!

I use Auto Dark Mode, so you get the benefits of light mode during the day and the benefits of dark mode at night.
