Having had a decent go at all three major OSes (windows, osx and Linux) in the past few years, I've found all of them to have a whole bunch of annoyances that stop me being able to do what I want, how I want it.
- crispinb 8y agoAbsolutely. I've been f/t on each for varying amounts of time over the years, and have found each wanting. There really is no good desktop OS in 2018. I have found OS X the best for my purposes, but it exclusively runs on hardware that doesn't interest me, and only gets worse over time.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoDefinitely. It's more a matter of choosing the one that sucks the least for your needs than anything else. And since they all seem to be drifting farther and farther away from what I actually want in a personal computer I've started entertaining the idea of making my own (not a new kernel, just most of the stuff on top of it, a new "operating environment"). But it's a ton of work and I'm not really qualified to do most of it, plus I have other projects. It would be great if there was a community with a similar conception I could work with, but I haven't found one yet.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoNot quite. Those are the kind of people who would write their own kernel for fun. The kind of community I'm looking for would be focused on building a practical personal computing platform.
