    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.

            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.

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

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

      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!

        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.

          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.

      Your OS can run your home server. No need for GUI if you know what you’re doing.

        For some tasks (e.g. web browsing), you need a GUI. CLI browsers won’t cut it.

          But what if my computer is JUST running Jellyfin? No need for a web browser?
