They're kinda similar, indeed.
But Vista has some differences in color and details that make it more beautiful IMHO.

We are still missing a Vista.css: the most beautiful Windows ever made.
I dislike Snap, but I like the stable / out-of-the-box nature of Ubuntu.
I don't like distros where I take a week to setup it the way I like.
Task is a build tool / task runner that can be used to automate stuff, like code generation and all kind of development tasks.
You can think of it as an alternative to Make (Makefile).
The offical website / documentation is here: https://taskfile.dev/
It's pretty stable in my experience, and in fact much faster than the main version.

On Samsung devices, we have to use hacks like using Package Disabler Pro to disable stuff:

My phone is considerably faster and and battery life is much better after using this. No to mention this probably also closes some provacy holes.
Motorola, on the other hand, does a great job by using mostly vanilla Android with just a few really useful modifications.
This is one of the best advices for people starting their careers. This comment should be at the top of this thread!
EDIT: Formatting
Unfortunately, everyone uses WhatsApp in Brazil, and very few people uses Telegram, for example. This makes it kinda impossible to be Facebook-free here.
That, and it's also almost impossible to run Windows 8 or 10 with a HDD drive, even for basic stuff like internet browsing, etc.
SSD is basically required now.
Sad, because Linux is still pretty fast with HDD for basic usage.
I created something that tries to improve some aspects of Make. In particular it allows setting multiple outputs and use checksum instead of timestamp for build caching.
Don't expect a perfect tool, though. This started as a toy project, but evolved with time.
I don't know your use case in depth, but I don't see why Task wouldn't work for you, since it's similar to Make in this regard.
You can have multiple tasks (for each step) and then either set dependencies or have a task that call all other tasks in the right sequence. And, of course, you'd have to enable [this](https://taskfile.org/#/usage?id=prevent-unnecessary-work).
Anyway, seems that Make is already enough for you, since you're used to it's quirks.
LOL.
I love both Go and Ruby. Each of them shines on different scenarios.
Have you tried using Make on Windows? I know, I also prefer Unix-like systems over Windows (and I barely use Windows these days anymore), but for those that need Windows support, it's a miserable experience trying to use tools that barely work there.
Checksum based (instead of timestamp based) up-to-date resolution is also nice. Etc, etc.
In short, I don't think Task is perfect (far from it), but we desperately need better alternatives to Make.
I'm curious on why Make runs twice faster to you, since in most cases the difference should be negligible (i.e. the Task overhead should be insignificant compared to the time it takes to run the command).
Maybe you're running really lightweight, like `cp`? Otherwise I'd consider it a bug. Could you open an issue, then?
Although I don't think this tool is perfect, I created Task exactly due my frustration with Make and the lack of decent alternatives.
Let me know if you any feedback after you try it.
