BSD might be an option. But this post is basically meant to ask the following question:
Windows or Mac, which OS do you dislike less?
For me, it’s Windows. Microsoft is shit, but at least there’s some flexibility in terms of how I can use my system and what hardware I can use it on.
I’m not going back to Windows even if I have to sacrifice gaming. Also not going to Mac. I’ll probably explore options such as the aforementioned OpenBSD, Haiku and others.
