I'll sound like a miserable old bastard here, which I am, but I'm all for bringing back Gopher and banning any non native applications on a platform. Electron I'm looking at you.

All the native apps on my Mac desktop, an ass end M1 mac mini, are really really damn fast.

The moment I put windows, any managed apps or anything web based or wrapped web applications near any computer, a world of pain opens. It's mostly energy sucking buggy crap which serves the developers more than the customers. That's a cancer in the industry which is only going to get worse when we ship towers of excrement on top of WASM.



I have pipe dreams of using Serenity OS as my daily driver.

Also, I advise you to try Haiku OS Live CD. It’s refreshing.


I was a BeOS user for a few months back in the day. That would be perfect but no I need to use things which are on macOS.
