This is why Linux rules tbh, little to no rules what so ever in terms of customizing your desktop whilst also not having shit like this too like having so much bloat and constant ads, like telling you to install edge everytime whilst protecting your privacy too.
linux rules because it's the only os built for its users rather than some company stocks
BSD?
a rounding error on my part, sorry 😋
More seriously, I was thinking more of foss desktop environments and user programs (which are basically the same all over) than about the actual os - thanks for correcting me
🤫 we don't mention BSD out of reverence.
Haiku?
illumos!
Hmm does it support web browsers? And is it fully FOSS (except firmware and stuff like that)?
After looking a bit more it seems like illumos is mostly the kernel, and openIndiana is one of the maintained distros.
Absolutely!
