Always remember: Your OS should do nothing more than provide a GUI for you to access apps and run apps. Anything else is not necessary.

From a non-technical user's pov kinda true.

But not true at all when you enumerate the actual responsibilities of an OS.

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 weeks ago

Your OS provides a GUI? fancy

[-] khanh@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

Because people actually have a life.

The lines you draw are so arbitrary but at least you're prepared to die on those hills.

Prey tell, what is this OS of yours that is not coercive and doesn't contain bloat, yet has a full GUI as part of the operating system?

[-] 7toed@midwest.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

Okay be real, you want to do all your networking config and drive pools and high availability all through the CLI?? There's still a reason I use the CLI in the GUI but thats just nuts

Girls, calm down, you’re both pretty. I was being sarcastic. Let’s not argue over a joke.

[-] 7toed@midwest.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly though if you pulled out a picture with 14 monitors all with terminals, I would be impressed

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

3 screens with 3 virtual desktops is my limit man.

[-] khanh@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

"Prey tell" lock in, man.

But also, Linux.

[-] Cycadophyta@lemmy.cafe 10 points 3 weeks ago

The OS shouldn't even do that. That's the job of the display manager and desktop environment

[-] khanh@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

True.

I also want it to have a built-in clock and calendar in the taskbar. But Microsoft won't even let me have that! They got rid of the calendar!

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I still see a calendar if I click the clock on my work laptop. Though that might have been one of the settings I clicked while wondering why MS even thought this should change.

[-] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, you're right. Instead of bringing up the calendar, it brings up ~notifications~, and you have to click a little pop-up button to see the calendar. Thank God I only have to worry about this on my work computer.
