You don't know a bad OS until you've tried something like TempleOS
That’s sacrilege. Temple os is the best os
The only real OS
🙏
I wouldn’t call TempleOS bad, it’s just designed for a different use case. Most OSes are designed to function for productivity. TempleOS is designed to display schizophrenic delusions
An OS is about compatibility and function.
TempleOS has neither.
...and he proceeded to rant about how his OS was better than Linux every chance he got
Yeah, people love to talk and speculate on where madness and genius intersect, but his is a stark reminder of what that can so often look like. When the mental illness is something like adhd or autism or depression you can get folks like Einstein Newton and DaVinci (or yet another person who drank or drugged themselves to death because they couldn’t cope with everything and their inability to act on their genius), but there are mental illnesses like his where it isn’t some quirks or something easy to brush aside because they’re doing something great. What he did was impressive and brilliant and never capable of being anything more than a novelty and he didn’t seem to understand that fact.
