If they would produce a super stable, backward compatible system without "AI", without tons of dark patterns and with a traditional UI... let's say, a Windows 7 reboot with compatibility to modern software and released under a Free license... then I would honestly take a look.

I wouldn't. Why would I bother at this point. Their commitment is to making money, not customers.
