I fucking hate Solaris, but it's the last real UNIX designed for the enterprise.
>Something you actively dislike about your current OS?
Systemd. I'm forced to use systemd/Linux because I don't use x86 machines and spooshal snowflaek distros without it aren't available.
>How would you change them to be better?
Make Solaris open source.
Fucking anihilate everyone at Oracle and give Leonard Pottery a brain tumor that renders him unable to use a computer ever again.

No. Not community projects. Actual Solaris, as it's always been before or*cle bought Sun.
>>Your favorite thing about an OS that you dislike?
Although macOS is a children's sandbox that is controlled more by Apple than the user, at least it is Unix based and has an actual terminal
>>Something you actively dislike about your current OS?
The fragmentation among Linux is both a blessing and a curse, it gives the user freedom to choose from many different programs and DE/WMs, however if it could be a little more unified on some of the more important fronts it would be so much fucking better.
>>How would you change them to be better?
I wouldn't, I've never created an operating system so I'm not going to say I could do anything better than the people that are
OP here
>Your favorite thing about an OS that you dislike?
I really want to be able to enjoy some *nix OS, but the fragmented software and documentation is ridiculous. Every distro religiously uses a different set of basic utilities, package managers, etc.; but the documentation is 6 months old and doesn't cover this release' features, only the previous one.
It truly is inhospitable for people that aren't willing to sit down for a few hundred hours to dig around on the internet for answers to basic questions.
>Something you actively dislike about your current OS?
>Windows
So many legacy features.
Why the fuck are we still using NTFS?
Who the fuck thought the registry was a good idea?
The folder structure is retarded.
But the software selection is fantastic, and you get an acceptable level of control over the OS to make it usable.
>How would you change them to be better?
*nix OSes are really getting better with time. I'd like to see the basic systems being a little more consistent, being able to look up a simple guide and not being confused as fuck when the utilities referenced don't exist on your OS.
Also fuck Vim.
As for windows, lose the damn legacy systems, holy shit.
Fucked up my own first question, lol.
>The ability to customise EVERYTHING in the front-end is a godsend
Honestly, i don't know what you're talking about when you say *nix operating systems have bad documentation. It's pretty easy to find out how to use software, you just use the man page and search for what you want to do with the software. If you don't know what program you need you use apropos.
Sure, there is a little learning curve figuring out how to teach yourself, but after that it really is a breeze.
>also fuck vim
Then don't use it. There are always alternatives. That being said, I love vim, learning it has been one of the best things I've ever done computer wise.
>Your favorite thing about an OS that you dislike?
at least osx is not windows
>Something you actively dislike about your current OS?
not enough audio interfaces compatible with linux. Not really their fault though
>How would you change them to be better?
dunno i'm not knowledgeable enough to know if i fucked up or if shits broken by design
>the documentation is 6 months old
That would make it better than about 99% of all other documentation. Some commercial/industry documentation is years, or even decades out of date, and only half complete, and that's being charitable.
>The fragmentation among Linux is both a blessing and a curse
Linux fragmentation is a myth, it's all Red Hat now
underrated
>Your favorite thing about an OS that you dislike?
Audio stack on Mac OS X is God-tier; UNIX based means better development compared to Windows
>Something you actively dislike about your current OS?
Windows 10 LTSB: Updates aren't transparent; if they kept the Win 7 updating system it would be better. Oh and no more theming support and muh telemetry
Linux: Shit audio stack; we had to get Pootering to create PulseAudio to *solve* these problems. Oh and package management means outdated software for stable distros, while Windows and Mac users get more updated software
>How would you change them to be better?
Windows: Revert to a Win 7 philosophy, or at least unlock more of these features for the Pro+ Win 10
Linux: tear out the entire audio subsystem and start from scratch; introduce a compability layer for those using older stuff
Package management: flatpak/appimage/etc are solving this problem, but needs more adoption
>Your favorite thing about an OS that you dislike?
>linux
I like the command line
>Something you actively dislike about your current OS?
>windows 10
Layers upon layers of hacks
No classic mode or any theme customability otherwise
No unix command line
>How would you change them to be better?
>linux
no more driver problems
all win32 programs magically converted to linux ELFs
>win
improve WSL so that it's actually useful
desktop themes
unix shell
remove spyware and bloatware
shit, imagine being this butthurt over an operating system
not playing games in 2018 is like not watching movies. you're uncivilized
>be nice to your enemies and they will be nice to you
cool
Windows: driver support and gayming, CAD applications
OSX: just werks and at least it's still a *nix
Linux: so much choice and it's free.
>Your favorite thing about an OS that you dislike?
>Windows
The software comparability is second to none, pretty much everything has a windows binary
>Something you actively dislike about your current OS?
>Linux
Can't run my obscure weeb games and WINE is a piece of shit to get working right
>How would you change them to be better?
Linux having 100% comparability with windows software and making the windows shell more customizable
>favorite thing about OS I dislike
OSX has some great "it just werkz" OS applications (and an actual terminal emulator), and the virtual machine for Windows is pretty well-integrated.
>Things I dislike in my OS
>GNU/Linux
Debian is old as shit, and installing some software can be a royal pain filled with endless wiki trolling. Game support is fledgling at best.
>Windozer
Windows 10 is a half-baked abortion that tried to streamline Win 8 much like 7 to Vista. The LTSB release has fewer blatant issues, but ultimately there's hardly any reason to use 10 over 7.
>Fixan issues
>Debian
Standardizing installers and configuration interfaces would go a long way. I hate the idea of learning a new scripting language just to change some shit in a config file; that could be done with a GUI.
>Win10
Unfuck the flat-nothing UI and go back to what works. Prioritize enterprise usage; pandering too hard to chic normalfags is not M$'s strength. Either that, or just start over with a new code base and a cordoned-off emulator for legacy applications.
>Your favorite thing about an OS that you dislike?
That there's only one company developing it, therefore there's no divide among users and devs.
>Something you actively dislike about your current OS?
Systemd taking control.
>How would you change them to be better?
Make windows open source, but I very much doubt that I'd come back to windows.
And talking about linux (is just a kernel) I wish useres and devs would be more united and listen each other. (Fucking Pottering)
>Software selection is fantastic on MS© windows OS™
>Ikr! Why linux OS do not create software for their OS like windows does? Lol, what a stoopid neckbeards!
>Windows is so cool because MS© creates software for Windows xD
Jesus, OP, calm down your down syndrome...
>winshit (dislike)
I actually really like flat design. If MS dropped the retard tiles, the metro/modern interface, cortana, and the nagging notification, they would have a pretty good desktop OS.
>iToddler OS (dislike)
I have never used it, but apple is one of the few manufacturers pushing for laptops with high-res screens, which is something I appreciate. Too bad all of their screens are glossy trash.
>Android (dislike)
I hate that it's so locked down because some smartass google engineers think normies would be unable to handle the same privileges they have on a desktop on a phone, but I'm glad it exists so we don't have to deal with having 4-5 competing smartphone OSes, and it's partly open source, so at least there are custom ROMs.
>Lincucks (like)
There are way too many competing desktop environments and distros in my opinion. I'm not saying there should be only one, but I feel like currently there are more tools than jobs in the Linux world.
>Your favorite thing about an OS that you dislike?
Printers actually work on Windows without a problem.
>Something you actively dislike about your current OS?
(GNU/)Linux has shit printer support, CUPS is a piece of shit that doesn't work.
a lot of research and machine learning software is only compatible with linux (or extra difficult to get going on win or macOS)
why do you people not understand that it doesn't matter who creates it or "who's fault it is"? people are going to use and like what works, just as it doesn't matter if linus caught a cold and couldn't develop that driver or his grandma died and he had to attend her funeral
the only thing that matters is what's actually useful, excuses are irrelevant
you can literally replace systemd with just apt-get
>wangblows
its monopolistic market position means it has good compatibility
>linux
setting up basic programs is way too time consuming
>better
make wangblows open sores and make linux less painful to use
How do you configure apt-get as init?
On a serious note though: not every distro just lets you drop-in remove and replace systemd. On arch I end up having to keep the fucking thing around anyway because the other option is to have to recompile aur packages every time I update so I have a working eudev and other shit.
Im not a big fan of MacOS but i must say, for incompetent people with money its really the bees knees. Everything works without tweaking and and there is nothing you can do wrong. Things like making backups (Time Machine (tm)) works like a charm and even an idiot can make mac dualboot.
I hate everything, even the stuff I use.
>like about windows
c# gui programming
>dont like about linux
audio
>change it
well, a rewrite from scratch but thats easier said than done
I like how wintards are giving credit to MS for other companies just developing for larger userland.
This has nothing to do with OS itself you mongoloids! It does with it's popularity, but this is Sup Forums not /fa/, you cunts. So speak about actual OS and not irrelevant software to OS.
I hope that my previous mockery is clear to you now. Sometimes I forget how slow you guys are.
Can someone post the picture of Sup Forums before and during summer? The one where Sup Forums has a Linux windows Mac friendship club before summer. Thanks in advance.
I like the thread idea
>Your favorite thing about an OS that you dislike?

You can play games on it

I had to download magnet for nice window managment, also play/pause button(by default) works for last played not music only.
>How would you change them to be better?
>Windows
Change NTFS to something like ZFS, fix stability, remove botnet, change console commands for more unix like
>Linux
Just add more supported apps for it, try to unify it a little bit more
>MacOS
Window managment, revert play/pause button, wait until more devs add support to it
>All of them
Standarized global darkmode(And I don't mean flux just darktheme)
