    I’d assign pinkie pie to a rolling release like arch or gentoo. You can customize and get constant updates. You can also switch around the desktop environment to keep things new and interesting.

    These frequentchanges goes with her energetic personality.

    I think that works better than “this is OS can tolerate her”

      That is also true for NixOS. Since it’s declarative, the only things that break when you switch DEs are the settings the DEs themselves change when you run them

        I only tried nixos once and briefly, so I’m not that familiar with it. Is it a rolling release distro?

          There’s an unstable channel. Because of how nix works you can mix different channel packages since deps are independent (nothing is installed system wide)

    I wouldn’t say that windows is about speed and performance now. Not to mention bloat.

    Most games running near same performance on Linux. And funny enough, some games run even better under proton + wine than windows versions

      Tbf it does say perceived speed. Perception is shaped by marketing and bells and whistles regardless of reality, and all that jazz.

          I’ve used a Mac. It won’t even let me set the screen resolution to an exact pixel value. It doesn’t even say the number, it’s insane how dumbed down it is

            ? Mine does… seems like there was a checkbox to show it maybe? My work stuff is all linux. My home stuff is a mix of mac and linux. Under the hood mac is *nix based and with homebrew it really ties the 2 os’s together. I don’t care for Mac politics, especially Timmy’s ass kissing to trump. However i do like the hardware and the os is very capable once you crack that candy shell.
