If you want to move people to another operating system, then create the operating system so easy that even the dumbest person on the planet is able to use it.
Like me for example.
I have no single idea why my Linux systems on my desktop and laptop constantly commit suicide.
I treat my windows such as the Linux systems equally and I'm surprised that I barely never had to kill my windows Systems but my Linux machines die constantly. I can't work like that. #linux#windows#work#operatingsystem
@chris im on workation with my friends, so several programs are open, mails, libre, Firefox 1:1 like my Windows machine. I have just been to the coffee machine, I came back and the entire laptop is frozen. I can't do a thing, and still nothing moves there.
I was in the middle of writing an mail and I just saved the table in libre office a few minutes before I got my coffee.
I never had that with the windows OS.
I really learned how to use the REISUB command in the past months because of that
Looks like the #XFCE#screenshot tool will soon have that awkward "Upload to #Imgur" option dropped. Good riddance! I never understood features like this one, especially when it goes to a #proprietary service.
"#Fedora40 beta is fastest operating system I've tested - and it's full of useful features.
If you think your operating system is fast, wait until you get a load of the latest release from Fedora."
@janvlug I don not think, it is the OS. It depends on the desktop environment that slows a computer down. All the so called LINUX OS have the LINUX kernel. If you want to have a really fast OS, get rid of desktop and install IceWM or another slim window manager, a terminal emulator, a file manager, plus some applications you need. You may do this with aptitude. But then you have to be a command line acrobat and care for a lot of things, which contemporary operation systems do in the background. E.g. mount devices, start Bluetooth or WLAN or what ever services.
I fell in love with #BeOS the moment I saw a screenshot of it on a magazine in 1998. It took me by a storm, for some fateful reason. A year later I was running BeNews, the main news site for it, and the year after I met and got married to one of its engineers, my beloved @jbqueru, and moved to the US. At its height in 2000, BeOS had ~100k users. I hope its spiritual descendant, the #openSource#Haiku, makes it larger, and proliferates.
@eugenialoli I can't love this enough. I never thought BeOS would lead me to the USA, would lead me to love, would lead me to Greece. Definitely quite some easter eggs in there.
