in reply to (OT) Your Dream OS

I actualle hate (every version of) AIX, but its journalled file system is fabulous.

For Linux, the question of what makes it a dream OS very much depends on its use. As a desktop it stands and falls with what you require in the Window Manager and I have founs none yet that fulfills all my wishes: speed, easy of use, dwimmery, minimal (but functional) decoration, looks (without bling-bling) etc etc. I stuck to KDE because of the easy key bindings and the possibility to minimize decoration, but it is still slow and starts too many background processes for functions I don't use but without those background processes KDE won't start.

In the end ALL software sucks and will cause reasons for hate.

In Paris (QA Hackathon) I learned that MacOS only supports a very limited set of file systems fr external drives (no FAT32, Ext2, Ext3, or Ext4), which would be yet another reason not to want it (price being the primary reason not to buy a Mac)


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

    I guess I wasn't being clear. For each OS, please name the one (or, if you must, some very few) aspects that you would "copy" into your new, ideal OS. You can think of them as genomes.

    You can provide supporting argumentation if you want, but narrative cluttered with what you don't like about this or that system isn't terribly helpful.

    That being said, I am grateful for everyone's input.
