    I wouldn’t say that windows is about speed and performance now. Not to mention bloat.

    Most games running near same performance on Linux. And funny enough, some games run even better under proton + wine than windows versions

      Tbf it does say perceived speed. Perception is shaped by marketing and bells and whistles regardless of reality, and all that jazz.

        My perception is W11 is that it’s hella slow. Rainbow Dash should just get like Bazzite or CachyOS.

        Oddly the only people who would perceive windows as “fast” are the ones who haven’t used anything else.

          I’ve used a Mac. It won’t even let me set the screen resolution to an exact pixel value. It doesn’t even say the number, it’s insane how dumbed down it is

            ? Mine does… seems like there was a checkbox to show it maybe? My work stuff is all linux. My home stuff is a mix of mac and linux. Under the hood mac is *nix based and with homebrew it really ties the 2 os’s together. I don’t care for Mac politics, especially Timmy’s ass kissing to trump. However i do like the hardware and the os is very capable once you crack that candy shell.

        You know how many times I tried to install some driver on windows, just for it to say fuck you?

        • install windows Euro version

        • it dosent include direct sound

        • direct sound is probably a directx lib, install that

        • nope, I look it up (for euro version of course)

        • I should go to the „add or remove features”

        • type into searchbar, find it instantly

        • can’t find

        • apparently I’ve been using the legacy version thats accessible and correctly indexed in the search bar. What I need is the new thing with the same name that is only accessible in 3 sub menus

        • so basically if I want to install dhcp servers, hypervisor etc, I need the old menu, but if I want libs for those or slightly different versions I need the new menu

        • install

        • wat 10 mins at a loading bar that tells me nothing, just for it to fail with no error code

        • repeat until I go back to linux

    Nix user. The declaritive config IS the documentation and I enjoy no longer having to document how to setup my system as much. I don’t enjoy scripting or automating things, but I enjoy the benefits of only needing to do it once via Nix’s config system.

    I enjoy engineering: an engineer will spend 3 hours figuring out how to do a 2 hour job in 1 hour.

    macOS Tahoe is far from being consistent and refined, remains me of the first days of windows 11.

      Sequoia Gang stay the course.

      macOS 27 is going to have some super-refined shit if it stands a chance of making it anywhere near my M2 Air. I made the mistake of updating my M1 mini to Tahoe and my god, it’s shite, but my M2 is still resolutely Sequoia.

          To be honest, I don’t physically access the mini all that often. It’s my Home Assistant server, running HAOS via UTM. By and large, it chugs along without fuss. Drops the wifi connection every couple of weeks for no reason I can ascertain, but otherwise it’s pretty solid.

          My MacBook is my primary computer. Well, one of them. The others I use are all on various flavours of Linux. Debian for my general purpose home server, Cachy for my gaming PC, Kubuntu at work.

      I’ve seen that a lot of people hate macOS Tahoe. According to them, it’s the ‘liquid glass’ design they dislike.

        Personally, I’m not massively offended by the Liquid Ass. I’ve got iPadOS 26 on my iPad and it’s fine.

        But the huge amount of wasted, blank space in Tahoe is a travesty. Massive radii on window corners for no good reason, causing everything to push in to the window a little further than it, and almost no contrast between elements that just looks cheap and awful.

    I’d assign pinkie pie to a rolling release like arch or gentoo. You can customize and get constant updates. You can also switch around the desktop environment to keep things new and interesting.

    These frequentchanges goes with her energetic personality.

    I think that works better than “this is OS can tolerate her”

      That is also true for NixOS. Since it’s declarative, the only things that break when you switch DEs are the settings the DEs themselves change when you run them

      She would follow an online guide to change the emoji font, not noticing that it’s for Windows 10, not back up the registry before editing the seguiemj.ttf entry to Noto Color Emoji.ttf and thus freezing any program trying to render emoji, breaking the OS because there’s one in her username on the login screen. No, Windows 11 can’t handle her.

      Changing the default emoji font is easy and safe on Linux with fontconfig, just add the font name among aliases to sans-serif in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf (user) or /etc/fonts/local.conf (global) and you can use any emoji font you can get your hands on. Heck, even grub comes with emoji (monochrome, obviously) in its default unicode.pf2 font.

    except RD it looks good.

    For bluefast you could either take something with fast releases such as arch or fedora. Or something lightweight with faste boottimes, such as Peppermint or Bodhi.

    Dash would certanly use CachyOS. For Rarity, anything as long as the DE is GNOME. Pinkie would be a chronical distrohopper.

    I may be a certified expert in My Little Pony, but I’ve only used like 3 distros, so I don’t think I’m qualified enough to weigh in.

    I don’t know MLP, that was after my time. I was into YuYuHakusho/Ghost Files and I’m a dude.

    Windows sucks a lot. Most Linux users hate Windows. I even got my wife on Linux Mint after the forced update, she’s been on Windows exclusively her whole life.
