What I really would love for the Samsung Laptops

Akatsukidrag — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 06:55:02 GMT

I really love the Samsung Galaxy Book 6 and all its types. Even the Book 5 Pro, which I currently use, hasn't given me any issues at all. Powerful laptops and slick design.

One thing, though, and this is just me talking/ranting: I would so love it if Samsung left the Windows OS. Like, I have no issues with Windows; I just would like to know how it would feel or be if Samsung had its own OS for its laptops.

They already have a framework for it, DeX, which they can just capitalize on and turn into a full, proper PC. I just feel like everything would be much more comfortable and intuitive.

Just me ranting about it.

Samsung did have DEX for PC, but they've discontinued that version.

Is doesn't make sense for Samsung to create their own OS as they are not a software company and app vendors would have to write a new version specifically for Samsung OS for it to run on there platform just like they have to do for Apple OS, and their not going to do that for the small number of Samsung laptop users that there would be. The majority of software is written to run on Windows.

DEX, at it's core, is a replacement for a laptop, allowing a PC like experience by using the power of your smartphone instead.

Windows as an OS may be less than excellent at the moment, but it's the industry standard for OEMs and I wouldn't expect that to change.

If you want a laptop that does not run Windows, Galaxy Chromebooks are still an option for the time being.

The second closest thing to a non-windows laptop experience in the Samsung ecosystem is a Galaxy Tab with a physical keyboard attachment.
