Wtf is templeOS and why do Ineed to use it

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

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.

Macintosh OS is the most fucked up UNIX I've ever used. Worse than Solaris 8

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

Copium needs to justify spending $800 for 2tb of SSD or $400 for 8 GB of ram like if we still were in the early 2010s

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.

Are you going to call someone a "cuck" next? 😂

[–] BaumGeist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

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?

Owing chrome OS. It is NEVER the answer.

Where does OpenIndiana fit?

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.

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

[–] az04@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago

Not relevant anymore, TempleOS now has more users than BSD.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 11 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (3 children)

It is shite to bully TempleOS's creator.

But it doesn't surprise me.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

[–] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

He's dead its impossible to bully him or in fact to effect him in any way

[–] FuzzyDog@lemmy.world 23 points 13 hours ago

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.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 14 hours ago

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.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 16 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Hey! I have a life. It just wholly revolves around my computer.

The reason MacOS is seen as a working computer is because if anything breaks about it, it isn't considered a computer anymore by Apple, it is considered e-waste.
