Heh. This author here, while making a rational-enough case in a way,
exposes why proprietary OSes are the refuge of the lazy, here I am using Windows 11 24H2 on a four-thread CPU, it's a bit sluggish, so I'll
probably Linux this thing, but that's because I'm not so challenged by
the terminal command line, I used PowerShell already today to install nativefier (a free way to make Web apps, cross-platform, I was using it
under Debian, too, saving me $5 a month compared to WebCatalog), so even
in Winblows there are instances where brain use comes in handy. But no, buying a fucking Mac is not the answer. It's too expensive. It's a
cult of Steve Jobs' ghost, of corporate greed, walled garden as it were.
Fuck them. It's ironic, but Windows actually beats macOS because of
how expensive Macs are, and how its Unix functions aren't nearly as good
as just using Linux - the macOS-specific stuff is hit-or-miss, where
WinAPI apps are pretty consistently functional.
Suffice to say, I'm still the most impressed, overall, with GNU/Linux
such as Debian, but Winblows isn't so terrible in a way.
"Author" writes fluff article pushing his opinion loaded with
suppositions as some sort of objective analysis.
This one make me chuckle. "Most People Don’t Want to Install Another
OS". So the article is about Windows replacements, and the #1 reason
that Linux isn't the ideal replacement, is you have to replace
Windows...
