Win12 confirmed as a Linux mint cinnamon derivative distro.

No, that would be too soon. It took them over 20 years to make a package manager, 15 years to add tabs to Windows Explorer. Maybe in 10-20 years they will do it.

They've got winget recently so they get closer than you think.

"linux mint, but it sells your data"

i know microsft isn't really selling it, but they're making money like they do.

Also features Snap?

I think mint is too Linuxy for win...they might go with Ubuntu and embrace snaps

ironically, cinnamon was made to be familiar to windows users (im pretty sure)

Cinnamon is one of four DEs whose reason for being is to be Not Gnome 3. Mate, a fork of Gnome 2, Cinnamon, a fork of Gnome 3 that isn't dumb and bad, Unity, from Ubuntu's "Not Developed Here" period, and more recently Cosmic or whatever Pop!_OS is calling their thing.
