Does your OS even matter? Mac, Windows, Linux, Web Browser??
Today we discuss a potential future of virtual desktops, web apps, and if we are closer to that future or is there another future ahead for computing and operating systems?

w t f ! what if a nuclear war happens and internet goes away ? what if we go somewhere wo internet access
Of course it matters, privacy, monopolies, control, cost, and the open source philosophy can only benefit us all.
Just boot into Emacs.
It will matter after 2025. When support stops for Windows 10.
NetBSD deserves more love
Yes, it matters, because they all have their own slew of huge fucking issues (yes that includes linux). I use what works for me, which is windows with a dash of linux. Cloud 'workstations' are horrendously expensive when you can just host your own and use something like parsec to log into it. Macs are not allowed to get licensed for virtualization on other OSes or servers so with that in mind, together with having the most closed walled garden, Apple can rot in hell as far as I'm concerned.
I use my programs that run on my OS btw so i could not care less what is behind as long it works without problems.
So windows-bad, mac os-bad, android -bad, linux – 1970 command line shitfckery bad…so what now? Should i go back to DOS,
Yup, it matters a lot. As soon as corporations start getting greedy and looking for ways to enshittify your OS, there's only one OS that can resist that.
It should matter to you what you use, but it shouldn't matter to anyone else.
At a previous job: In 2000 about 10% used Linux the rest Windows. 2010, it was an even split between Linux, Windows, and MacOS. There were only two people who had to use a specific OS. Those using QuickBooks.
how else will i feels superior against other OS users?
i hope we reach that day when the OS dont matter, i will stick with linux anyway, but at least, if i decided to use windows one day, it will be because i want not because i'm forced to.
i hate when i have to use windows, in part because i dont like windows that much, but mostly because i feel it was forced upon me.
In capitalism everything that supports enterprises with money, data or both matters! The only relevant question is which evil enterprise you want to support or avoid. If there's no decent choice the preferably the currently least dangerous enterprise is the only choice we have. Luckily there's Linux, so we don't need to choose between the Redmond plague and the Cupertino cholera.
Yea the web browser is more important than the OS, however, you don't want your OS too be leaking your info, so that rules out modern windows systems, Mac os too a lesser extent leaving only linux as a reasonable option.
Same goes for mobile Google android is bad, apple is better but you need to make sure you change some options, De-googled android ( with the ability to control background apps) or linux is the way forward.
Cloud services that can access your data is also awful.
4:22 Don't you mean Windows?
I am being truly honest here, the only three applications I need – Firefox, File Explorer, and a text editor.
Linux Supremacy!
Mac OS in Big Cat days were great. Tiger, Jaguar actually rekindled my love for OS. Now Mac OS is a cartoon OS. Designed by probably iOS team.
After many years Linux has now rekindled that love again for OS.
Yup, my OS does matter is why I use Linux
Yes the OS matters. Obviously. For many reasons.
I think YOU matter! 👋👋
Great video, very informative and balanced. I agree with you – I still dual-boot between Fedora Linux and Windows, since I can't play Roblox with my daughter currently on Linux. But otherwise I am almost never in it.
The OS matters to anyone who cares about privacy and about owning the computer and its software, rather than essentially renting it.
