OpenBSD 6.5 - Hackdot

Re:OpenBSD 6.5 by pimeys on Wednesday April 24, 2019 @11:36AM (#19739437)

I like simplicity. I use i3, Firefox with enough privacy extensions, Emacs and terminal. And I love to be able to have a great keyboard, where sadly the ThinkPads are the only choice nowadays.

Using Mac OS X or Windows will give me a headache. I just don't like their user interface. And I've used both of them a lot; I had my G4 iMac with 10.0.0 back in the days, and kind of liked 10.3.0 until Linux won me over again.

(P.S. why every OS thread in HN always turns into discussion about Apple?)

People are very change-resistant when it comes to OS and text editor choice and don’t understand how the other side lives without $feature_of_choice.

I'm just amazed that you are calling an interface you need to set up yourself / configure / tweak a bunch of things to get working is "simple" in your eyes compared to Mac OS X, which is simple to lots of people (which would explain why they sell so many MacBooks, in my eyes?)

I'm just a different crowd! I live in UNIX and for me editing a few text files is much simpler than having a bloated OS.

And why I said the thing about Apple originally is that it seems to be almost a meme that every single thread about Linux or *BSD gets a discussion about Apple products. It's so weird :)
