The longer you use linux excluslively, you don’t think about windows or mac. You think about fedora or suse, kde or gnome, yay or apt, distrobox or toolbox.
IKR the longer I use Linux the more I think about TempleOS
They don’t give us free games with the OS anymore but TempleOS has HOLY games
That is…true, actually. The longer I use Linux, the more I’m like “…but what if, man, what if I ditch Arch for Fedora or NixOS or give Pop_OS! another chance (and i very well might when Cosmic launches)?” And sometimes I do…and then always come crawling back.
Going back to Windows full time ain’t even crossed my mind for a hot minute. Partly because i have a spare driver running it for emergencies (that i barely use anyways, only because Windows literally runs one important app that I need, that I can’t run on Linux), and partly because going back means being stuck with Windows 11 again, and I really dislike Windows 11’s design choices, personally (and Microsoft in general, but i digress).
going back means being stuck with Windows 11 again
Windows 10 can 100% still be installed. I say that from a Win10 install.
I can’t anymore. Leads to system crashing randomly. 11 works unfortunately.
Oh I know it can be installed, but after the headache I got re-installing 10 once before and then trying to get 11 running on…anything, really, i just decided “you know what? What will be will be at this point. I’m not gonna need it for much anyways.” when i finally got 11 to accept and install into a random external drive that i never really used (it didn’t like the one i had inside my PC reserved specifically for it. Somehow…).
(Note: this was a while back, so installation could be a helluva lot better now and i have upgraded a bit since then but, shrug. Already got Windows ready to go on a drive, and only have it because I might need it moreso than me actually wanting to have it, so meh)

Nothing TBH. I find Windows too stressful, Macs are too boring, and I can’t use TempleOS because I don’t have schizophrenia.
Damnit. You managed to give me a laughing coughing fit
At a certain point I just feel like Linux isn’t designed to let me talk to God. All that bloat like networking and hardware drivers get in the way. I need to get away from the CIA mind control and return to something pure and simple. And when I feel that way, Based Terry is always there for me.
RIP Terry Davis, Temple OS forever
a gun to the head
That’s the reason I use TempleOS.
I’ve no plans to go back to my abusive ex.
It is surprisingly hard to run Android apps on Linux, despite Android itself being Linux based. Being able to run Android apps quickly and natively would be a game changer for Linux, resolving long standing issues of app availability. Hell you could even then use Android version of Microsoft Office etc. This should be a higher priority for all distros.
Until then, there are apps that are simply unavailable on Linux, even with Wine support, that necessitate using Windows or macOS.
Is Anbox no longer a thing? It runs Android apps in a container.
Or is it more the issue with the apps not running “natively”?
Waydroid nowadays. Works waaay better
Anbox is dead
Have tried to use Anbox, seriously painful to install and get working properly (Debian), and then equally annoying to install apps, and they’re still not really first class citizens like other Linux apps. The experience should be as easy as what Wine have achieved.
It is. Anbox is outdated and x11 based. Waydroid is great
Looking into Waydroid thanks 👍
That rings a bell… could one use BlissOS or Android-x86 in a vm? I can’t remember. It’s another thing I’ve been meaning to look into.
Waydroid worked fine when I tried it.
I feel like this post is guerilla marketing for “TempleOS”, which I’ve never heard of before and will absolutely not be looking up after this.
It’s not. TempleOS is a famous from scratch OS created by a guy with serious mental illness. It’s a sad story, but the capability of that guy was incredible. He’s gone now :(
TempleOS (wikipedia) is a meme os. It’s supposed to be god’s os and was singlehandedly coded by the late Terry Davis. So this post isn’t really marketing, and the reference is just supposed to be humorous.
For real though definitely do not access this site right bellow here and install this OS

I love this reaction and how dramatically out of sync it is with what TempleOS actually is. I know it is innocent and accidental so this is in no way a shot at the poster. It is just a hilariously wrong take.
It 100% is guerilla marketing for Temple OS.
Shut up and take my money

God wants you to use it.
Libreoffice calc does not have the functionality Excel does.
Time for a bug report 😹
Also, have you tried gnumeric?
Gnumeric is nice and lightweight, but unlikely to satisfy people who are looking for a lot of features.
The ease of buying a quality laptop without having to worry about if it will run well with my OS.
I’ve been using MacOS for about 8 years at work and I never really taken to it. It’s fine and I can do my work but I won’t use it if I hadn’t to (unless the only alternative was Windows). But one thing I really like about Macs is that you can buy one and you won’t have any headaches with battery life, software compatibility etc. You get decent hardware (let’s ignore the whole 8GB on an M3 = 16GB on other machine debacle) and know that it will work decently well with 3rd party software/hardware and if something breaks you can just bring into an Apple store.
While there are dedicated Linux sellers (System76, Tuxedo Computeres, Starlabs), I’m hesitant to spend 2k on a computer just to find out that the build quality is subpar, the battery life sucks or that customer support will just ignore my requests (read some bad experiences on the Starlabs subreddit).
Low performance of very specific games made by small studios on middle-aged low-budget hardware makes me consider dual-booting, but then I remember that I hate closed-source, software-as-a-service, tracking-financed operating systems.
fuck windows i’m never going back to that shit
Lack of good VR support.
That’s been the primary reason why I’ve kept a Windows dual boot, though when I tried Steam VR on Linux a month ago it mostly worked well. Still some features that are unavailable, and a couple of bugs, but usable.
Nothing.
Used to be the occasional game. Then the great Gabe was like “fuck Windows” and polished up Wine to make Proton. So…
Nothing.
Windows
It never was free.
MacOS
It’s not free any more.
TempleOS
I’m not religious.
So, I guess I get to stay on Linux for longer. Well, damn!
Nothing. GNU/Linux is fantastic. But only that but the principles of Free Software are literally the most important thing to happen in computing. Respecting user freedom is THE most important thing an OS can do.
Only Linux offers that. In using this forever.
Only Linux offers that.
There’s FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc. Which are not Linux-based.
