From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What on earth is a TempleOS?
I own an IT company. We are some sort of base metal partners with MS. I remember a huge box of "Select" CDs turning up back in the day. Nowadays we get demands for customers. ie we should be making more cash for MS. Its all one way - take, take. take.
I'm not a massive fan of owning a company and working for another one. So I don't. MS are receding into the rear view window.
I tried to daily Linux on my laptop but gave up after about 6 months. The two major issues for me were the speakers amp and the fingerprint reader not being supported. The speakers wasn't that big of a problem because audio still worked so I could use headphones or Bluetooth. The fingerprint reader not working grew to be a major annoyance though, it's so much more convenient to use than typing out a password.
Minor compatibilities aside, Nothing that Windows itself has to offer, maybe some wallpapers I can just get online anyways lol
Nothing. But I already use Windows, macOS, and Linux. Linux is my main OS, but to develop stuff for the other systems, I have to keep them around. I hate using them, but I have to.
I use all three. I have Windows on one of my machines that I use occasionally for gaming. I use Macs for work since that's what all my corporate machines comes with and I daily drive Linux and use it for all my home servers.
Some games don't run (runs badly) on Linux.
I have to work on a windows computer so I'm regularly reminded of the horrors that is W11.
I am dualbooting but booting to windows fucks up my Bluetooth but I wanna boot to windows to play cyberpunk (I get almost half the fps on linux for that game spesifically), to play modded skyrim and fallout and last but not least run my ai chatbot for text adventures through koboldcpp (too difficult to build from scratch on linux) and oh fortnite, oh also roblox because I somehow fucked up grapejuice on linux and it crashes, if someone would.like to help me troubleshoot that hit me up. Other than that linux is awesome tho. Recently got.my openmw mods working. It is a treat.
I'm having weird issues with my Wifi where it will just suddenly stop working (Plasma will show "no available connections") and I have to hard reset the machine because Linux won't shut down otherwise. It's not a hardware issue since it doesn't happen on Windows.
Sometimes not feeling like being part of the online friend group. But I won't switch to Windows, it's just too bad.
Video editing softwares definetely, kdenlive is nothing compared to stuff like sony vegas.
Game Maker is still only in beta for Linux. They warn against working on serious projects on it because it can just randomly break them.
Brain damage
Nothing!!!
Drivers for the Tobii eye tracker do not officially exist.
@ani honestly temple os just does what I need my computer to do nothing else can come close to it. I have tryed everything.
I only play two games and cant for the life of me get them to run properly on linux, and i only start the computer when i want to play so windows it is.
There occasional hiccups with Linux that are sometimes by design, like Flatpaks not having access to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. This makes some things need minor workarounds where they wouldn't otherwise, because there aren't enough people on Linux to make these workarounds the norm. I don't really mind, but it is nice not having to do anything like that on macOS (although there are other issues there, like not having access to /usr/bin in the first place :P)
At the end of the day, though, the development workarounds necessary on Windows are absolutely insane. Even as well documented as they are, I am very glad I don't need to touch Windows ever again because they still suck.
I'm thinking about whonix+qubes... Just because it's the best... https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Install
The main problem that I heard is that it is power hungry for some reason
Your attitude towards OS is like what you enjoy about car ownership: Linux: you enjoy building cars and maintaining them. Windows: you prefer to spend your time under the hood working on difficult problems. Mac: you just want to drive.
My optimus laptop freezes sometimes when using the nvidia card. Idk why, I should look at the logs sometime to figure out what causes it.
Not enough hymns from God, sadly
