Hey /g/, what would your ideal operating system be?
Mine would be Mac OS but with the freedom and support of Linux.

No go fuck yourself flaming homosexual.
>>55360340
>Macos with the freedom of ljnux
BSD
Mine would be a linux based OS with the freedom and flexiblility of GNU.
>>55360357
It looks terrible compared to Mac OS
>>55360340
I guess you mean GNU.
Linux has nothing to do with freedom.
>>55360395
How about changing it to look the way you want?
>>55360340
>Freedom and flexibility of GNU
>Powershell as shell, and all the features that implies, object piping, working dir push/pop, providers etc.
>UI design of Plan9
>Vim-like keyboard accessibility
>A developer-friendly package manager
>Syscalls and CLI tools with sane, consistent names (Powershell already covers this, but I think it's important enough to warrant its own bullet point)
>DE with the looks of a dark-skinned Windows 7, the features of Gnome and tiling functionality of i3
That should cover the whole stack for me.
Mine would be an OS wherein the shell is based on some applied variant of CSS or some shit and allows you to customize each little aspect of your desktop environment for maximum rice.
Also compatibility with the things I use.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I'd like
>full windows programs compatibility
>mac os stability
>Arch customizability and rolling release
>easy installation
>at least Ubuntu's level of freedom, doesn't have to be 100% libre but pls no forced updates or telemetry
>no bloatware, only drivers and possibly lightware desktop with no preinstalled apps
Riced as fuck Linux with the professional software and vidya of windows
>>55360686
*lightweight
Compatible with all the Windows programs.
Has OS X's look and feel
Based on Arch Linux
>>55360395
MacOS already looks horrible though.
> based on rust/redox microkernel
> runs on arm64 (fuck intel. seriously)
> has full graphics and cpu driver support so battery lasts forever and can do battery hotswap without shutdown
> runs vim
> maybe runs android apps?
> supports the full gnu toolset
> comes with all the terminal goodness and font support in the world
> bios isn't locked down and can be modded (libreboot?)
> has a filesystem that allows me to use raid/checksums/resizing/permissions at will without tearing my face off and uses whatever is optimal for disks,flash or nvme (looking at you zfs/btrfs/afs)
> can play youtube videos without using 20% system resources or switching the cpu in any higher mode. may switch between dedicated cpu/gpu without having to restart the screen server (wayland we are waiting)
> allows me to remap keyboard key/modifiers at ease
wait am i describing a good laptop or an operating system? oh welll its defenetly not a mac, maybe a new thinkpad but even that has an intel cuntlake
Ideal operating system
>OSX looks, for consistency
>Good OGL performance though if I'm going to ask for something, let's go the full length and ask for Windows software to run fine on it
>Free and fully compatible with any hardware setup
>Not many backdoors
>>55360340
Use a virtual machine
>>55360340
My ideal is already out. Ubuntu.
>>55360340
Unix based
Freedom
Pretty much it.
