Ars Technica: Google seemingly confirms plans to kill ChromeOS in 2034. “We are mere days away from the launch of Googlebooks, the long-awaited Android laptops that Google hopes will compete with macOS and Windows. But what of Chromebooks? There have been hints that Google plans to sunset its web-first ChromeOS platform, and a new support page lays out some of the specifics.”

First installed a linux box, 1996 (Debian) at a startup I was working at with help from Juzzie our star Sys-Admin who was stolen from Hutchison.

At work it was the BSD’s that did the secure hosting and payments. Linux was a play toy, Windows was where the money was made.

Funny thing is, #linux is useful because it’s open and permissive. Meaning you can get a lot of hardware, peripherals and software to work quickly. So I’ve used linux for work and play. Dabbled in a bit of OBSD which is great but requires more work to setup and run *new things*.

I stopped using Windows in 2000 and dabbled in MacOS from 2014 onwards. Windows is now a joke, MacOS closed and expensive, Linux is insecure leaving the BSDs.

I have no real allegiance to any OS as I’ve used so many different systems. It’s going to be a rough ride for #OpenSource #OperatingSystems connected Internet while the #AI hoards seek to break and plunder.

of all the cursed ways I've installed an operating system, installing windows to a second ssd with a vm running the installer and pci passthrough is up there.

all because I didn't have a usb stick to spare (it worked perfectly btw)

نفس الهدف... تثبيت برنامج بسيط.

في لينكس: مستودعات موحدة ومدير حزم يقوم بالمهمة بأمر واحد.
في ويندوز: البحث بين عشرات أزرار التحميل، والمواقع الإعلانية، والإصدارات المختلفة.
في macOS: التجربة أبسط، لكن أحيانًا بثمن أعلى وخيارات أقل خارج المتجر.

لكل نظام فلسفته ونقاط قوته وضعفه، لكن تبقى تجربة إدارة البرامج من أكثر الأمور التي تميز أنظمة التشغيل عن بعضها.

ما الذي تفضله أنت عند تثبيت البرامج؟ مدير الحزم، ملفات التثبيت التقليدية، أم متجر التطبيقات؟
