I promise you that quite a few people do, and they all use Linux. Source: My actual life.

Let me rephrase: After months of constant nagging by Linux users, Windowsers briefly tried it and found that their personal needs aren’t well met by either OS.

Linux just isn’t that good.

Depending on the particular BSD, yes and yes or yes and no. (FreeBSD has a Linux emulator in its kernel, which allows you to run Steam.)

Windows is still unbeaten for gaming though.

OpenBSD, (unlike Linux) not being copyrighted by a foundation under U.S. law, begs to differ. Fuck the upcoming California law, I say.

Or we could finally have a good OpenBSD desktop distribution.

The problem is that most of the GNU/Linux ecosystem - the kernel, GNU, systemd, GNOME - are largely developed (thus, dominated) by U.S. companies. Repackaging U.S. software in the EU does not make the software “made in EU”.

European operating system projects, like 9front (mostly German), aren’t really for the light-hearted.

We’re doomed.

Maybe sam could be worth a look? It’s basically GUI multiplayer ed on steroids.

Efficiently editing files in Vim in 9 steps

9. s

The OG open-source license was when software was just shared as a convenience, as companies only sold the matching hardware. When AT&T started asking for license fees for UNIX, it all went downhill.

When it comes to drivers, the question should be “does my hardware work?”, not “how many drivers for devices I will never even see in my life are there?”. YMMV.

Third-party services are always dangerous.

I wish that the default answer to Microsoft making GitHub even worse would not be to just move to a different third-party provider which can do whatever it wants.

Both compile much slower than the entirety of Plan 9.

Someone should write an AI that specifically reads posts like this so we don’t have to.

Well, I still have pfexec anyway.

Everyone knows it’s win32/Linux.

if you are coming from windows things will be where you expect them to be

This is something that Linux neither can do nor (in my opinion) should try to do.

A file system with similar structure.

There is no Windows-like file system fully supported for / as far as I know. You can’t have C:\ on Linux.

A GUI setting menu where the most used settings can be changed without opening a command window. …

That’s not really distribution-specific though. All GUI configuration tools I know are distribution-agnostic.
