    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 laptop desktop nor my debian laptop in the 5 years I’ve been running it on them. Sounds like you’re just mad your OS condtantly advertises paid services to you an mine doesn’t

    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?

    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.

      If you think that’s bad, look at the LinuxSucks community and how bad they’re being ratio’d.

    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.

      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.

        I think you’ve got arch and debian reversed, and I’m personally hurt by the lack of Gentoo representation 💔

          I mostly included those two based on the funny logos I could find. The placement is mostly based on the vibes of apple users being closer to arch users. I only wanted to include two serious distros.

            Hannah Montana is obvious, but which one is the second one?

        arch is most definitely not a “working computer” for most people’s standards and should be switched with Ubuntu, but other than that, I dig it

      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.
