I don't think Temple OS is linux though
Herecy!
It’s not Linux, it’s something entirely unique.
TempleOS is a 64-bit, non-preemptive multi-tasking,[8] multi-cored, public domain, open source, ring-0-only, single address space, non-networked, PC operating system for recreational programming.[9] The OS runs 8-bit ASCII with graphics in source code and has a 2D and 3D graphics library, which run at 640x480 VGA with 16 colors.[5] Like most modern operating systems, it has keyboard and mouse support. It supports ISO 9660, FAT32 and RedSea file systems (the latter created by Davis) with support for file compression.[10] According to Davis, many of these specifications—such as the 640x480 resolution, 16-color display and single audio voice—were instructed to him by God. He explained that the limited resolution was to make it easier for children to draw illustrations for God.[1]
When he was alive, he would be frequently banned from forums for getting into crazy arguments about esoteric code things. Also the racial slurs. A complicated but beautiful human being.
TempleOS is a fever-dream.
The entire OS is released into the Public Domain, so it's technically more free than Linux, which is quite a feat.
Kind of like the Watts Towers, it's a one-man curiosity or folly.
I mean he was a theocratic racist piece of shit but ok
Having interacted with him a few times online (if he was alive he would be on this comment thread right now, and would probably have been banned at this point) - he was severely mentally ill. I’m not sure if he had any form of political ideology that was coherent enough to be “theocratic.”
Like, when you run TempleOS, the majority of programs on there are about using random number generators to “talk to” God. There are keyboard shortcuts for this purpose. I don’t think he was fun to be around - I imagine that his parents were at the end of their rope by the time they kicked him out - but Davis spent the last ten years or so of his life completely untethered from reality.
Linux swinger parties: On the way in you drop a thumb drive loaded with a distro installer in a fishbowl, then spend 30 minutes drinking energy drinks and dunking on MS, then grab a random thumb drive on your way out. That's your new daily driver.
You know somebody's putting barebones LFS on one of those drives.
Sounds like malware
Always take protection to a swingers party.
Gotta bring condoms for your boot drives
Honestly though this could work if it was just a configuration file. Maybe something like Nix, Ansible or a bash script.
But templeos isn't Linux...

I use Arch btw
I choose exclusively based on mascot and I don't know any distributions with mascots other than opensuse so I use opensuse
I chose Endeavor because I like its wallpapers.
(And I am too scared of installing Arch)
Learning more about Linux, I smile when people review distros on YouTube based on the desktop environment
Like, I know you are reviewing « SuperFunOS » but really that’s just a fork of Ubuntu with Plasma…
« I give it negative points because there is no office suite included » Dude… really? …
(Dammit… I’m slowly becoming an elitist 😨 )
I rate Linux distros by the proportion of doing work on my computer:working on my computer
Most people want stuff to just work.
I dislike Arch btw
I choose my distro based on if KDE will crash or not.
So far on my hardware only NixOS has not got that issue out of the box.
Why has nobody mentioned package managers? I can't be the only one who cares about that...
i chose my first linux distro based on difficulty (gentoo). needless to say it took me two weeks to get my computer to boot up and load i3 without problems.
Whats a wallpaper? I thought we were supposed to use linux CLI only.
- Fedora
- Arch
- Tumbleweed
- Debian
- NixOs
Me in the past 2 years: choosing a Linux distro based on whether it's nixos
Only one of those OP. The oldest one in the list. When any of those other distros bring something new and beneficial to the mix I might consider them.
I have OpenSuse Tumbleweed, Arch, and some version of Ubuntu. I'll probably replace Ubuntu with Tumbleweed eventually.
