Many people can’t handle the existing alphabet, imagine for a second if they have to deal with extra letters.

Technology@lemmy.world•Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OSEnglish
1·5 months agoAgain, depends on what your use case is. Even if you find a stripped down OS that’s less resource heavy, you’ll probably still be using the same other software (i.e. same browser on the same modern web, and you’ll be out of RAM once you open 10-20 tabs). If a manufacturer has meant this as base specs for a thin client, you’re not tricking anyone (but yourself) by trying to use it as a full featured computer, and you’re still driving sales (at least on the hardware part) on a deliberately crippled product.
If you want to vote with your wallet (as IMO everyone should), you don’t buy this and repurpose it; you simply don’t buy it.

1·5 months agoDepends on what you do and depends on how it’s set up.
At a previous job we had thin clients set up to connect to some remote desktops, and indeed they were running an OS locally, but had barely enough resources to run the OS and the client app.

That would be kind of going against language’s natural evolution. Many words used to be spelled with way more letters than they are today.
