I feel like you're looking a bit too much into it and that this rant is a bit unnecessary. You write as though you're being attacked by the creators or something. It's not going to "replace your MacOS" or anything, but rather is a showcase of clean UI and UX. Looking through the "What" and "Why" sections on their Github says how it follows certain UI and UX guidelines; many of which Apple has adopted. I don't think you're the target audience either. If you're interested in FreeBSD and like MacOS, you'd probably love this.
- egypturnash 3y agoI'm critiquing the presentation. "helloSystem is a desktop system for creators with a focus on simplicity, elegance, and usability. Its design follows the “Less, but better” philosophy. It is intended as a system for “mere mortals”, welcoming to switchers from the Mac." Sounds like I'm somewhere near the target audience if you ask me.
- Melatonic 3y agoWell for one you do not need to buy expensive Mac hardware......that seems like a pretty damn big selling point.
- nawfalak 3y agoI don't think so. You were critiquing the text about free software and privacy that they had in their Github which are valid reasons to use this if you subscribe to those philosophies. While I don't know how you feel about how MacOSs' UI looks at the moment, they had complaints with how modern MacOS looks a lot like iOS. If you wanted a similar experience to early OSX or OS9 and before and weren't too tech savvy, you'd probably enjoy this too.
