- Open source software is great, but it's also riddled with problems. To make something better will require a lot more control.

Fart, fart, fart. Loved it. Ah, the smell of it. lol.
I miss the days of having a box with a disc and full ownership. THAT would be nice...ah, the smell of it. 🙂
I believe in opensource...
but I also believe in paying Developers full time.
I do NOT believe in donations and volunteering...
One of the biggest weaknesses of Linux : Lack of Standardization and Coordination.
lmfao you mentioned Temple OS.
Of course he did. It's God's OS of choice.
As linux truely became 'floppy and flabby', let us build a new open source operating system from scratch, but never allow others to write, except for device drivers, a POSIX compatibility layer, because then we are going to get something like linux, but WORSE. What a very thoughtful idea - at least in 30+ years! But also SO hard to do, Jody...
I was a user of numerous open source software programs in the past.
One I left late last year was constantly getting updates, which made the software get worse and worse. What was working good as recently as around 2021 - 2022 was suddenly limited, and bandwidth was running at a snail's pace of what it was prior.
I go on Reddit and sure enough, people complained that the program is awful. The subreddit moderators for this particular software program? A bunch of women, who not only controlled the subreddit but also controlled the program itself.
I wiped all traces of this software program clean off my computer, uninstalled it, and never looked back. These narcissistic types are ruining everything.
How would you get hardware providers to develop drivers or release the intellectual property so that others could develop them? How would you prevent Microsoft from using their market power to either steal and/or crush it? Without applications being ported to it, it would never gain popularity and without popularity there is no incentive to create applications. Catch-22.
@@id0069 As Apple has shown us, it's not necessary to support everything nor have every major piece of software.
I fully agree! We need a new operating system other than Windows, macOS, Linux, *BSD, Haiku, etc.
A good example for a proper ux/ui standardization is DaVinci Resolve compared to Adobe softwares; one cannot customize the interface, but everything is clean, logical, consequent and straightforward. And fast.
I've stuck with Total Commander / Double Commander / Forklift since the beginnings, tells a lot about my opinion on file managers in general. Wish you create an ultimate one, would happily contribute to a proper ux/ui design.
Man I hate find. An OS should provide a proper search function or better to say the file system and index everything. Just Posix things. That's one other thing MacOS does right.
There's a lot of things to complain about in the Mac sphere but the search functionality is not one of them. The indexer is a resource hog on slower machines though. Modern macOS is basically unusable on spinning rust too.

No, seriously, good insight. Having to replace perfectly working hardware because there are no drivers (or existing drivers shit the bed) is really frustrating. I have seen otherwise really good Linux commentators and whatnot make that suggestion: Just replace it! I mean you can't blame them, what else is one to do if the drivers simply don't exist? Linux is often touted as powerful, and it so often is. I love Linux and daily drive it. However, in this context, what is power? I submit that Windows is more powerful in its own way in that so often it just works with damn near every piece of hardware and software released in the past 10-15 years. I just put together a Frakenrig from old parts scattered among the depths of my basement. I installed windows 10 on it and while installing I was pretty confident it would all just work (and it did). On Linux, modern distros at least, I would be thinking the opposite like, "I know when I boot this damn thing I am gonna get 10 more gray hairs, lol" For me it's whatever, but for many users they'll just say screw it, and waste those parts.
32:28-32:36, Honestly, that's not a bad tenet to have fundamentally. The problem you run in to though, is that widespread use is what allows something to really reach it's zenith over time, and become polished. MS/DOS evolution to Windows is a prime example. For a very long time it was considered to be not very user friendly(until like, the mid 90's). It was thanks in large part to games being made for that platform that allowed for a growing adoption. So, become a platform for a particular niche, maybe?
Linux and wifi are a match made in hell. When I first tried Ubuntu back in 2005, I didn't have my own internet so I stole my neighbor's wifi. I remember running into the same problem of not having a driver for my wireless adapter. The solution I found was to use ndiswrapper to allow the Windows driver to be used on Ubuntu, so I used the instructions I found online and... it still didn't work.
While I went back to give Linux another shot a few years later, that initial experience has stuck with me, and I have encountered even worse issues since. I still like Linux for what it is, but a replacement for Windows it is not.
The problem with Linux is also that every program and technology has so much alternatives. Fact is that developers are needed to maintain all these programs and technologies. And there are also so many programming languages available. I don't know how much programmers are on the world, bu fact is that you never will have enough human resources available to keep all these projects running. If so, this can't be guaranteed for long-term.
This is also one of the reasons that many issues stay open for a long period. And if it's solved, then the solution is not well documented many times, so that the end users will spill many time on forums and so on.
"They had some interesting things to say..."
Yeah, they always have interesting things to say, and grand philosophies. Then reality hits, and they do the **fart fart far**
A great new system will always be flooded with ports of old crap. People will try to circumvent what makes the new system better and stack several layers of abstraction and emulation on top to make it as bad as every other system. The OS doesn't have to be open source for this to happen. POSIX crap is ported to Windows all the time.
Not sure if this is intended but my W11 file explorer used to let me drag and drop into the new tabs feature. However now I need to open a new instance to copy the files to, this is also after a reinstall. Is anyone else having this issue?
Of all the issues you mentioned, hardware support is the worst one. It seems impossible to beat Linux on hardware support.
If you want to improve utilities like find and the desktop experience, why not keep the Linux kernel and build up from there?
Parallelization in general is a bit of a dead end, last resort for optimization. You can only speed up the parallel portion of any task, by no more than the number of threads (Amdahl's law). It's nice for specific tasks that are already in the ballpark of feasibility, but untapped parallelization does not make or break a system.
Fart, fart, fart. Keep it closed and even for profit if that would help.
Fart, fart, fart. It's always a BMW.
I dont think your OS would take off, not even a tiny bit because your intentionally gatekeeping to much.
I smelled some farts, but that fart was the fartiest fart that ever farted in the history of farting. I mean geez, what a farty fart!
