Probably they tried a real operating system.
- userbinator 9mo agoLinux and the other unices are great for their CLI, but GUIs seem more like an afterthought on that side.
- adhamsalama 9mo agoI find KDE Plasma to be much better than Windows and MacOS.
- cosmic_cheese 9mo agoWhile Plasma is among the better desktop options, it’s still something of an acquired taste, being a significantly different flavor from either mainstream commercial OS (and particularly un-Mac-like). I know some like it, but having used it on various single-purpose machines of my own I don’t think I could make it the desktop of my daily driver or work machines.
- adhamsalama 9mo agoWindows is very similar to Plasma and copies it sometimes, but is much worse.
- cwnyth 9mo agoHard disagree. I find that Linux (particularly but not exclusively Gnome) is actually even better than Windows or Mac OS. I hate having to use Windows or Mac again for how clumsy and poorly thought out they are. It took how long before they finally got Window snapping? And file search is still atrocious on both, and getting worse on Windows. It always seemed to me the people who deride Linux's desktop GUI are those who actually never bothered to use it, especially not seriously in the past decade.
- xigoi 9mo agoI’ve been using COSMIC for the past month and it definitely doesn’t feel like an afterthought. Unlike Windows, it has window tiling, for one.
