Wtf is templeOS and why do Ineed to use it
The Wikipedia page is your best friend here. In short was an operating system written from the ground up by a brilliant, bipolar and occasionally psychotic man who was named named Terry Davis. It is important to mention when talking about Terry Davis to note he stalked several women and he probably took his own life.
It was Terry's belief that a way to speak to God was through computers. So he built an operating system from the ground up to act as God's temple. It's actually a pretty nifty achievement truth be told and an interesting view into the mind of someone suffering from psychosis. It is not suitable for every day use, but people have taken the foundations of his OS and ran with it making equally interesting operating systems.
The reasons are outlined in the decision tree in the image. ๐
Don't worry everyone, it's like the Sorting Hat, it takes your preference into account. Just say "not TempleOS" and you'll get into Linux.
Macintosh OS is the most fucked up UNIX I've ever used. Worse than Solaris 8
What kind of Bizzaro world reverse order is this nonsense? Mac is worse than Windows is worse than Linux.
A normie world.
Copium needs to justify spending $800 for 2tb of SSD or $400 for 8 GB of ram like if we still were in the early 2010s
By what criteria?
At work I honestly wish I had requested a Mac. My Lenovo laptop is always freezing while I'm off to lunch or overnight.
cope and seethe. Haven't had an issue with either my debian desktop nor my debian laptop in the 5 years I've been running it on them. Sounds like you're just mad your OS constantly advertises paid services to you, and mine doesn't.
Been running Arch for probably ten years now, or soon, too. It's no work to maintain. Just run the package manager update command and let her rip. Check what packages are updating. If it seems like something you don't know or understand, or something system critical, check the website if something manual needs to be done.
It's honestly no more work than any other distro. More like less work, because the system is improving at a faster rate than more "stable"/stale distros. And I don't remember how many times I had to reinstall Ubuntu when I was running it. The system upgrade just not finishing as it should for whatever reason.
Happily using a system that doesn't run out of space unless I make it so. That does my bidding rather than some company's.
Keep feeding the penguin, folks. ๐

Are you going to call someone a "cuck" next? ๐
Not unless they want me to be their bull
Listen, it's a funny hyperbolic way of saying "stay mad"; don't let sex-negative reactionaries have all the fun phrases

Working computer? Apple? Tell that to my dad. He destroys a Mac in about two years. Bought his house 7 years ago, and three dead macs in the basement.
Could you imagine if he used a PC?
Owing chrome OS. It is NEVER the answer.
I thought one merely leased ChromeOS?
Once, when I started a new job, I had to use an Apple laptop until my Linux laptop came. While the Apple laptop was better than I expected, it was still one of the most annoying weeks of my life. The most unbearable part was the keyboard. I could never tell which hotkeys used ctrl and what used alt, and it just wasn't worth the effort of remembering the differences or remapping them.
But besides that, after using Linux for 15 years, the very basic levels of configurability that the Apple window manager provides just made it look like a child's toy compared to Linux. In Linux, there are so many different window managers that it becomes very easy to customize an environment that works perfectly for you. With Apple, you just get what you're given and if it's bad or doesn't work well for your habits, then tough luck, you're stuck with it anyway. So in that respect, Apple computers don't work at all - you work for the computer, whereas it should be the other way around.
But at the end of the day, what it really comes down to is the fact that people just like what they're used to, and it sucks to change. What's best is a matter of preference; none is better objectively better than the other.
Except Windows. Fuck Windows.
Same for me. I can't stand the weird keyboard combinations and I totally hate that I need to watch a 1 second eyecandy animation when I put a window in full screen.
On paper Macs are very good computers. In practice whenever I try to use one I go strict Boomer Mode and can't get anything done.
Where does OpenIndiana fit?
Where is BSD? I feel like there are still steps before you reach TempleOS.
Not relevant anymore, TempleOS now has more users than BSD.
The reason MacOS is seen as a working computer is because if anything breaks about it, it isn't considered a computer anymore by Apple, it is considered e-waste.
