    Don’t worry everyone, it’s like the Sorting Hat, it takes your preference into account. Just say “not TempleOS” and you’ll get into Linux.

    cope and seethe. Haven’t had an issue with either my debian desktop nor my debian laptop in the 5 years I’ve been running it on them. Sounds like you’re just mad your OS constantly advertises paid services to you, and mine doesn’t.

        Not unless they want me to be their bull

        Listen, it’s a funny hyperbolic way of saying “stay mad”; don’t let sex-negative reactionaries have all the fun phrases

    What kind of Bizzaro world reverse order is this nonsense? Mac is worse than Windows is worse than Linux.

    Working computer? Apple? Tell that to my dad. He destroys a Mac in about two years. Bought his house 7 years ago, and three dead macs in the basement.

    Could you imagine if he used a PC?

    Once, when I started a new job, I had to use an Apple laptop until my Linux laptop came. While the Apple laptop was better than I expected, it was still one of the most annoying weeks of my life. The most unbearable part was the keyboard. I could never tell which hotkeys used ctrl and what used alt, and it just wasn’t worth the effort of remembering the differences or remapping them.

    But besides that, after using Linux for 15 years, the very basic levels of configurability that the Apple window manager provides just made it look like a child’s toy compared to Linux. In Linux, there are so many different window managers that it becomes very easy to customize an environment that works perfectly for you. With Apple, you just get what you’re given and if it’s bad or doesn’t work well for your habits, then tough luck, you’re stuck with it anyway. So in that respect, Apple computers don’t work at all - you work for the computer, whereas it should be the other way around.

    But at the end of the day, what it really comes down to is the fact that people just like what they’re used to, and it sucks to change. What’s best is a matter of preference; none is better objectively better than the other.

    Except Windows. Fuck Windows.

      Same for me. I can’t stand the weird keyboard combinations and I totally hate that I need to watch a 1 second eyecandy animation when I put a window in full screen.

      On paper Macs are very good computers. In practice whenever I try to use one I go strict Boomer Mode and can’t get anything done.

      He was also incredibly racist and extremely homophobic even before his schizophrenia got bad. I don’t want to play suffering Olympics here but you can suffer from mental health issues and still be an awful person.

      I took it as a lighthearted jab at the user of the OS, not as an insult at the creator of the OS. I have mad respect to Terry.

    Where is BSD? I feel like there are still steps before you reach TempleOS.

    After being forced to use an iMac in collage, I’ll admit it’s fine and definitely better than windows. But it’s still annoying. I wouldn’t call not being able to use the F key row, just because I dare to use a non apple keyboard a “working computer”, just as a most in my face example, there’s much more. It works and it does so looking pretty, as long as you have literally zero personal preferences.

      I don’t know about macOS, but from experience, neither Linux nor Windows are actually “just works”. Although it will depend on distro, I definitely have different experience on Arch and Manjaro than say Mint users. Mint worked for me well, although older dependencies have also killed “just works” a few times.
