TempleOS. All other operating systems are sinful.
Do you pray before logging in?
It wouldn’t let you log in at all if you didn’t. It’s devine 2FA.
Please enter your password and wait for divine intervention.
Why wait? Press the talk to God button until it says “login successful”!
You don’t need to log in with TempleOS because God said so.
Windows 7.
It was the peak of windows.
It was slick. It was fast. It was stable, and it was super easy to use. Never had a single problem with it, and unlike past windows OS’s it didnt require regular reformats to clean house for stability.
Unfortunately its dead now, and Microsoft abandoned that approach and switched to a slow burn approach at walled gardening.
I use Linux now, have been for years, because I saw where microsoft was going when Win10 was in previews, and there was no way I was going to be part of it… So I jumped ship as soon as EoL was announced for Win 7
Launch by hitting windows key and start typing (this is now a bullshit web search)
The taskbar was usable (fuck this app grouping)
Virtual desktops
Fast
Stable
Looked fine
Hit F8 for recovery options on boot

Debian 12 just overtook Fedora for me after the Red Hat debauchery. With podman/distrobox/qemu/flatpak installed I really don’t need my base OS to constantly be the latest and greatest. And I sure love that debian is community run and has taken the step to include non free software.
Yea, went the other way to OpenSuse Leap and have a tumbleweed, Fedora and arch distrobox. Distrobox is such a helpful tool.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
My 2nd favorite pasta, only topped by
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.I don’t stop there. I like to give the FULL name of my operating system when I use it. Example:
“What distro are you running?”
“Oh on this laptop here? This laptop is running Mint, daughter of Ubuntu, son of Debian, daughter of Linux, son of GNU! Her ancestors hail from the mountains of Copyleft, where the mighty Stallman wields his hammer Emacs to forge her people’s legendary tools!”
Anything shorter is just disrespectful.
🤣 🤣 🤣
This is so annoying
Found the Stallman!
Mac OS. People say it costs more, but I am not paying for a hardware and then some software that tries to make use of it. Instead I’m paying for a well thought out product that just works.
that (mostly) just works.
FTFY
As a Mac user since 2007 it feels like that statement gets a little less true every couple of years. But for me it’s still light years ahead of Windows when it comes to my workflow.
Linux of course. I don’t invite Apple or Microsoft into my computer. Apple has good hardware though so I can understand using a mac.
Debian 12 runs all my servers. It’s like the pinnacle of stability.
I use EndeavourOS. I like pacman and AUR, as well as the fact that Arch-based distros are well-supported by most software. I’m too much of a noob/too lazy to setup an OS without a GUI installer though, which is why I prefer Endeavour over Arch.
I’ve installed Arch myself plenty of times, and I use Endeavour now just because I don’t feel like spending the time. Automation is a wonderful thang.
Linux Mint. Just works. Zero hassle. Zero shitfuckery.

On my Google Nexus 5. Noice.
Nexus 4. Such a good looking phone. But the battery died long ago.

My take is that newer hardware runs best with Fedora. I’m honestly not sure what combination of kernel choice, Gnome version etc makes the difference but the fact I don’t have to worry about those things is the beauty of Fedora.
Love how most of the responses are different distros of Linux.

Me: I’d rather be running Linux
Systems Manager: Linux is a day late and a dollar short. Novell is the future. Microsoft might be interesting too.
She went off to teach community college after she got laid off.
Will I get jumped if I say MacOS?
I’m just kidding, but I do like MacOS. I just find it more aesthetically pleasing than Windows and I find it easier to use and longer lasting than Windows. Like, I had to use my 2014 MacBook Air with 4GB of RAM for a week because I needed to repair my main Mac. Yes, it was slow, I couldn’t have too many apps running at the same time, and I couldn’t have my customary 20 tabs open, but it was certainly usable and not too frustrating.
Windows 95 and Debian were my “holy crap this is cool” operating systems as a kid.
Windows slowly went to hell over the years, and Debian didn’t, so now I mostly use Debian.
Mac OS
It’s pretty, functional, and has unix underneath so I can use it the way I really like to.
