No way
Even the least tech savvy of users will almost certainly notice the 1000ms ping to their servers and wonder why their expensive Core 9 Ultra (whatever that means) is performing like an Athlon. Unlike Office, word processing and spreadsheet software, such hideous lags in a desktop OS experience would backlash harder than the Metro UI. The OEM hardware partners would also be very crossed if they had all these IBM PC-compatible paperweights without their IBM PC OS of choice. They've invested a lot into this ecosystem.
As for Linux desktop, I'd rather patch code manually to make sh1t work on FreeBSD. Gnuwu/Lunix is just too damn fragmented and incoherent for me or any of those OEMs to bother. With no RHEL-compatible desktops and the archaic packages of Debian; It'll never ever happen, ever.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
