How you can make this argument then present the most unreadable memory hog mess of a language that’s really just functional sugar on top of Java as the example is hilarious. You must be trolling.

It’s not callous to tell people to stop being lazy. It takes almost 0 effort to type “how does xyz work” into an AI assistant.

Let’s be honest, Microsoft never made anything that wasn’t broken, messy, and bloated before AI was a twinkle in Sam Altman’s eye.

Skeumorphism is the opposite of user hostile. Flat design. Now THAT is user hostile.

I just learned that X Window System came out a year before the first Windows release. Interesting. Thanks for pointing out the compiz ripoff. It spurred me to look up the original release dates.

I'd feel about 100x safer with my child using MacOS than any Linux distro. Linux comes with much more footgun built in than any commercial OS.

This is the case with being a zealot for and trying to 100% adhere to any ideology. There’s a very good reason Linux runs on a huge percentage of world server infrastructure and virtually none runs on GNU HURD.
The real world doesn’t care if your model is theoretically better. At the end of the day, actually shipping things is what truly matters and strictly adhering to an ideology tends to stand in the way of that.

My windows button properly handles windows. Window + left arrow snaps left. Windows + down snaps it down. Etc… It’s literally the best default window manager any OS has.

Keyboard shortcuts on Mac are a lot more consistent than windows and Linux actually. On a Mac command + C / V is copy / paste. In Linux sometimes it’s control + c, sometimes it’s control + shift + c.
