There isn't anything better. Don't tell me desktop linux. It's not fit for purpose and doesn't run the software I need it to run. I do not want to run Linux.

There isn't anything better.
Don't tell me desktop linux. It's not fit for purpose and doesn't run the software I need it to run. I do not want to run Linux. I, frankly, do not like what Linux evolved into. The desktop linux of 15 years ago was sort of acceptable. Modern systems infected with pulseaudio, systemd, and whatever the fuck gnome and kde have turned into are not. I'd rather run Windows, and I hate Windows.
- self_awareness 2mo agoWell I run Linux since 25 years, so if you're telling me that it's not "fit for purpose" then I question your ability to see purpose. Also I think you're cargo culting. You have problems with existence of systemd while praising an OS that doesn't even allow you to disable transition animation delays when changing virtual screens. It's not logical. Btw, pulseaudio is old news, now it's pipewire.
- TylerE 2mo agoWhat part of " doesn't run the software I need it to run" are you struggling to understand?
- self_awareness 2mo agoI'm not struggling because I don't really need nor want to understand that. The fact that you want to run macos-specific software doesn't affect me at all, and has nothing to do with macos being better than anything else. I'm using linux-native software all the time, that has no equivalents in other systems.
- TylerE 2mo agoWhat an ironic username
- petepete 2mo agoLinux doesn't have a way, there are about 30. Ultimately though, package managers (whether it's apt, dnf, Steam, some app store, etc) are the best for most people, myself included.
