Linux 💗

@itsfoss But TBH (I'm using Mac and Linux) it's very convenient to have an auto installer on a Macbook so you can easy download and install the latest OS just by 2-3 clicks instead of downloading the image, creating bootable USB stick etc.
If you need a clean-install it's very convenient.

I agree that you have some kind of lock-in anyway :)

@mbeddedDev @itsfoss Fedora installation is insanely easy. The programme downloads the img and flashes the usb stick forya, and the installation is basicaly automatic. Fedora is the best

@wirlie Oh interesting to know! I just saw some tool for raspberry which prepares everything out of the box with some nice dialogs so you can configure your image and start right away after flashing

@mbeddedDev @itsfoss yo check out ZorinOS, it is able to self-updte without creating bootable USB :)

@TruckStopSantaClaus @itsfoss as free as ice cream in a suspicious van.

@itsfoss in Apple’s defense, whenever I have asked them this they have just said “no, buy a Mac”

@itsfoss You forgot Plan 9. "I want to install your OS on my computer." "No! Go away!"

@itsfoss I don't mind paying money for software, of course under the condition that the thing is actually good.

@itsfoss I would've replaced "done" with "ok here's the manual", *thump* and the table breaks

@pupxel @itsfoss
I'm guessing your experience with Linux dates back to the 1990s.
