What if an operating system were designed not to maximize speed, but to minimize things getting in your way?

Not for branding, but for consistency?

Not for seeing everything all at once, but for seeing only those things you care about at any given time?

Not for commerce and work, but for the things that you *want* to do?

Not for stressing you out with technical things to deal with, but for being a beacon of relaxation?

That makes you go "ahh, finally, back to a calm place" every time you start using it, rather than inspiring anger?

If you're tempted to reply to this post to "correct" me on what an OS is, like one dude just did, then you very clearly do not understand the purpose of this post, and you should think long and hard about whether you might be a replyguy

I grow so tired of FOSSbros

@joepie91 this is what I have with my laptop running evilwm. Nothing in the way. Nothing to annoy me. It Just Works.

*sigh*

This would be _so_ _nice_.

Computers are frustrating

@joepie91 I feel like that this is a thing that doesnt have a single possible solution since brains are wired differently. It's in the "build your own os" department for me. Can't think of a single perfect os. Obviously I am for me using something I believe is pretty good for me. But that doesn't make it good for anyone else 🤔

@joepie91 What would minimizing things getting in your way mean in practical terms here? I think some of the people replying here have some different ideas about that.
