April Fool!
But ...
64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work

Sumbit to the Windows store and all your dreams will come true.

Windows only allows installs through their store. So developers must comply. Or they won't be assimilated. Right now. It is only cli.

Missed that one!  But if it had been real, my laptop would have suddenly started to hog my (despairingly slow) broadband with perpetual updates, constantly sent me reminders that there are applications draining my battery (even though I'm plugged into the mains), and hide everything useful from me so that I have to pay a Microsoft Certified Engineer to fix even the most minor problem (who had to pay Microsoft for the training); and then just blue-screen, requiring at least 7 days and £60 for the local computer shop to fix...

...Whereas LL downloads what and when I want, doesn't bother me with unwanted fluff, is expertly supported by you guys, runs like a dream, can be reinstalled in an afternoon...

...and all for no licence fee other than whatever donations I can afford.  Smile

So.  That WAS an April Fool's joke, yes...?  :-\  ;D
Don't worry about artificial intelligence.  Worry about natural stupidity.  Smile
