TempleOS received mostly “sympathetic” reviews.
😅
Granted.
For a beginner, however, this is a difference that would take some explaining. As you said, some distros heavily theme the desktop environments (DE) before shipping, so in that sense the question is fair.
By extension, of course, I am with you, as with the right amount of work, any distro can run any DE and make it look any way.
I’m sadly certain that this is just the beginning of terrors ahead.
Another example of a company making clear that we don’t truly own the games we play on their platform.
True.
And while we wait we keep our factories running, our cars on the street, our planes in the air, our meat on the tables, our plastic wrapped around everything and keep believing that we will be just fine.
I would say it is openSUSE Aeon.
An immutable distro that you install and it “just works”. Applications come in via the onboard Software Manager (using Flatpack). It is almost impossible to break, as the system itself is read-only. If an update should break something, the OS rolls back itself. It can do this, because it’s basically updating what you’ll get after the next reboot, not the running system. If something goes wrong, it reboots to the working version.
Still in development, but super stable.
Edit: spelling
Not mentioned in the article, but I wish there were a (simple) way to get Microsoft Store apps to run on Linux. Some do by jumping through technical hoops, but many don’t.
there are limits
I am glad you have a moral centre.
But that is the capitalist way. A Redditor once wrote: “*Corporations have no morals, no ethics, no code of conduct, no feelings, no empathy, and zero accountability. They have one goal and one goal only: to increase profits at all costs.”
Case in point: the climate crisis. Corporations are literally destroying their own home for a symbol of success that, like their products, is man-made: money. It is the ultimate pursuit of vanity.
Crazy, if you think about it for a moment.
Nothing will wake us up - move us to make large scale changes - while greed and selfishness are a thing.
I am sure we won’t get out of this.
Edit: just read this and felt it fits here. Cost of going green sparks backlash from Europe’s voters
Recent iterations of Windows have been easy to install, esp. when using an entire drive. I (almost) never had issues.
It’s still one of the best options for video calling. Available on all the major platforms, no time limits, the quality is great. International call rates are some of the cheapest out there.
Big downside though: it’s not so great on the privacy side.
…tyrannis
Though you might have thought of Darth Tyranus. Which is fine.
That is much easier said than done.

Why judge people over their choice of beverage?
Why can’t we all drink (or eat or be…) whatever we please without derogatory comments being made? What kind of a low is that?
Seriously.
So the ad wants me to follow the example of a man leaving his wife and children crying in despair?
You are right on all counts.
Just not sure if “easy” is the operative word here.
I don’t think that headline will surprise anyone.
I have a prediction for another headline: “2025 could be world’s hottest year as June breaks records”.
