I can’t even feel superior to everyone when theirs so many arch installers!! I use real arch btw. I thought “I guess I should go to Gentoo” but then wait, CHROMEOS IS A GENTOO INSTALLER!
I feel like we only have two options now
- Ascend to BSD-land
- Ironically supporting Windows Unironically
edit: I have decided to replace my debian laptop with BSD
If you’re not on TempleOS, you were never really serious about feeling superior
How is no-one here saying QubesOS???
The only correct answer.
RedoxOS
Back to LFS.
im building my own linux, with hookers and no C code
Ah, a Rust heretic
I did that once. It istantly made my beard double the length.
It shrunk the hairs on top and pushed it through the skull into the neck region.
So now I am bald and neck bearded. Thank whatever deity you believe for I was already married.
Especially in the neck area, I assume

This just came out. https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Hurd-In-2026
When normal BSD becomes too mainstream, you can also run Darwin. Run KDE Plasma and a custom theme to make it look like Windows.
Always gotta stay two steps ahead of the normies
Haiku and ReactOS have been mentioned, but SerenityOS hasn’t yet, maybe that is an option too. :D
Plan9, then you can smugly say Unix systems are sooo legacy.
You get an ARM or RISCV machine to run Linux on obviously. Then you shit on the plebs with their legacy systems.
You also need PostmarketOS on your phone of course.I feel seen.
It is time to create your own distro with Linux from Scratch or Yocto. It will stay special as long as you don’t share the installer or even the repo ;-)
Open source Windows obviously. https://reactos.org/
All these recent Windows to Linux converts, whining about how Linux should be more like Windows, should be going to ReactOS. They want open source Windows, not open source Unix.
Run everything off OSX server.
Haiku OS
I remember the BeOS guys doing a demo at my LUG before they release the BeBox (or whatever their computer was called). That OS was so ahead of it’s time. There were about 200 of us just gasping at how good it was and what it could do. Actually using BeOS on a PowerPC ended up being an on ramp for me to Linux. By the time Haiku came out, life was too busy and I was too entrenched in Linux. Maybe now that I’m retired I’ll take a look at it.
My college roommate got an install CD of the first version that ran on x86, maybe 3.0? I tried it on my computer and became an instant convert. It was so astoundingly much faster and stable than Windows was on the same hardware, had a decent free IDE, and could play MP3s without skipping while compiling, browsing the internet, and spinning a GL Teapot all at once on a Pentium 75 with 16MB of RAM. Nothing else even came close for a desktop experience. I bought a copy for myself and every version that came out.
I’ve been daily driving Linux for a long time now, but I still look back and wonder what could have been. There are still things to this day that BeOS did better and faster in the ‘90s on single core sub GHz machines with spinning rust than Linux, MacOS or Windows can on top end modern hardware.


systemd anyone?
ducks for cover
Bout to do a complete 360 on the GPL
