  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

    Would Tails go in cool and good or schizo?

    Guys, MacOS isn’t everybody’s taste, especially now. But it does do what it’s trying to do. Windows isn’t succeeding at anything it’s trying to do.

    [–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    Vibecode will do that to you.

    I haven’t coded in years and wanted to pick up python finally. I’m using ChatGPT to demonstrate all the wrong answers to problems and I have to admit it’s a great learning tool for an unexpected reason.

    It is productively wrong. All the time. But by screwing with it I can learn why things do or do not work. It does not give me an answer direct but instead guides me through all the possible ways to screw things up and I can learn from that.

    I haven’t coded since C++ and Java in high school outside some arduino shit I did for a bit in between and chatGPT has been great and bringing those skills back from cold storage in my brain.

    But as far as put in question, get response it’s obviously terrible.

    This kind of demonstrates the bigger problem though. Business majors are making decisions and not engineers. And business majors are fucking stupid outside their element.

    MacOS is worlds better than Windows, it's not even close.

    [–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

    Kali Linux as Chad OS suggests this list is as much meme as truth so I wouldn’t worry about the rankings.

    [–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 48 points 6 days ago (2 children)

    Hell, Mac OS is even a certified UNIX operating system, something that even Linux (or GNU+Linux) can't say.

    It's still a non-FOSS OS which is the real reason it sucks, but it's a lot better than a lot of people seem to think. Whereas Windows just plain sucks on a usability level too, not just the licensing.

    [–] mech@feddit.org 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

    The UNIX certification is arbitrary and useless. Windows 11 could get it if they paid for it.
    UNIX is irrelevant now anyway. Linux has taken its place, and every commercial UNIX (except for MacOS I guess) is at end of life or in maintenance mode now. They only still exist for a handful of applications that require decades of backwards compatibility.

    PLEASE! PLEASE UNIVERSE! BRING BACK IRIX!

    (and more than just nekoware... I mean a full, fully-FOSS, IRIX.)

    *\dreamer*

    [–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    Yeah ever since that incident at Jurassic Park, UNIX has been in decline.

    [–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 3 points 4 days ago

    I know this.

    Is that X OSX? They renamed it back to MacOS.

    [–] otacon239@lemmy.world 62 points 6 days ago (14 children)

    On top of that, putting it below Windows? This is clearly someone who’s never used one or thinks gaming is the only thing you do on a computer. I’m all for Linux and use it in several places, but it has nothing on MacOS polish. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it’s a far cry from ChromeOS or Windows 11.

    The distributions within the openSUSE project are, in my opinion, the most advanced and complete Linux distributions. They offer tools such as btrfs+snapper, openQA, Secure-boot, Firewall, Yast (Myrlyn+Agama), etc. as soon as the system is installed. No other Linux distribution offers all of this configured immediately after installing the system. In my opinion, the openSUSE project is at the highest level of Linux, offering solutions for most users, fixed distributions such as Leap, rolling distributions such as Tumbleweed, immutable distributions such as Kalpa, etc.

    I don’t understand the hate for MacOS or Ubuntu frankly. Windows was fine until they stopped making “features” opt in. Fedora has been toying with adding AI, and my experiences with Arch have been subpar for my needs. I’m kinda at the point in my life where I don’t care as long as the OS works. They’re all so similar at the end of the day, they help me do the websites, work tools and vidya gaems.

    Hi. Bazzite user here and I insist on proper representation. Please add it to the dogshit tier. Thanks.

    don't say manjaro could be better.

    • it works.... most of the time until it doesn't
    • it looks nice .... until you update something and it breaks
    • it has many features... which you don't need by default
    • it can be customized easily.... if you just want basics
    • it is stable.... until you update something

    but i love it and use it daily

    As a void enjoyer, i'm very happy it was included at all because it never seems to be. The fact it ranks so highly is the cherry on top!

    I'm ok with almost everything there except Debian. And I'm not even running Debian these days.

    There's nothing super or complicated about it that would make it Chad. It just works out of the box with non-free software.

    If this was an S-Tier, I'd agree, but Chat tier connotates there's some reason normal users would not run it.

    Their biggest failure is the failure to market.

    [–] Bullerfar@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (4 children)

    I hope Windows 11 becomes microsofts death (and ofc the fact that their previous ceo liked to fuck children)

    [–] bier@feddit.nl 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    I think what will hurt them much more is the EU realizing the danger in dependence on American tech like Microsoft, and slowly replacing it with (open source) alternatives.
