    I don’t understand the hate for MacOS or Ubuntu frankly. Windows was fine until they stopped making β€œfeatures” 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.

    Meh. Granite is open source, and as long as they don't try to force integration with a third party service I'm down for local LLM integration. It's not all chatbots, and LLMs happen to be honestly pretty good at searching through eg man pages and pulling out relevant bits.

    Oof, I really can't wait for the AI bubble to burst

    What is the 3rd one in "Dogshit"?

    [–] HereIAm@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

    I assume it is GNU Hurd, their own kernel.

    Looks like wojakified GNU, which says it's an OS on their website.

    https://www.gnu.org/

    Doesn't have Hannah Montana Linux on the list so we know this guys opinion is trash smh

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

    [–] bier@feddit.nl 8 points 17 hours 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.

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

    [–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 29 points 1 day ago (1 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.

    [–] harsh3466@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 day ago (5 children)

    I read a deep dive into the macos "certified UNIX" thing and it's a scam. I dont remember the details but the certification is obtained only through a set of testing exceptions. The macos used by people is not the macos that is Unix certified.

    As a former macos user (2013-2024ish), macos has become IMO a very user hostile experience. Its not quite as bad as windows, but macos is not th le "user friendly it (mostly) just works and gets out of your way" os it used to be.

    I'm full time Linux now and when I have to use macos or windows I cannot believe how user hostile they both are.

    Linux is far from perfect, but at least I control my system/os.

    I haven't really used Mac OS since Mountain Lion, so that makes me sad to hear, but I'm not really surprised.

    Is that GNU/HURD in the last place?

    [–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 72 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    how is windows above macos lol

    [–] SirActionSack@aussie.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

    MacOS has no reason to exist.

    If you are ok running corporate software just use windows with its huge array of software and compatibility with pretty much everything.

    If you want to be cool and different and have problems with software and hardware compatibility run Linux.

    MacOS is the Porsche Panamera of operating systems. People just have it because it matches their 911/iThing

    Kali linux in Chad tier says it all

    [–] voidsignal@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Is that GNU at the bottom? If so, bro, this dude don't get it.

    [–] waigl@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (3 children)

    Have you tried to actually use GNU/Hurd?

    [–] voidsignal@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

    But then that is not the logo of Hurd, and Hurd is not the point of GNU

    [–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Yeah, that's why it belongs next to Arch

    [–] TheGingerNut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Arch is high skill floor high skill ceiling. Once you get good you can do really cool things with it. GNU/Herd is high skill floor low skill ceiling. If you're really good and practice really hard, eventually you'll be able to do things that could have been easier achieved with literally anything else.
