While haiku has a long way to go, right now Linux is still a terrible desktop OS.
It might be a terrible desktop OS, we just don't have anything better. So it kind of great desktop OS.
Agreed
How so? Ive used it since I was 12 and I love it.
- It's built on concepts from the 60s.
- It's not user friendly in the slightest
- It focuses on speed over security.
As an example
Sounds like a philosophical answer to a technical question. What distro, what desktop environment are we talking about? What were you unable to do, what was impractical? Surely a terrible OS has more to show than three vague bullet points...
From the sixties... LOL how so? I excpected a little more of an explanation
It's a literal UNIX clone. That should be obvious.
Mac OS is literally Unix, not a clone, is it better or worse than Linux in that regard?
Thanks bro
