Alexander the Pretty Good was obviously a completely different and later character.

But when you’ll be looking for XP compatibility in 2050, they’re going to be the only game in town.

Well, today it’s arguably more advanced, interface wise, than the other systems since they keep copying stuff from the X11 front ends.

All the current GUIs are basically the same Once you’ve seen a couple WIMP interfaces, you’ve seen them all.

Unix was meant to be much friendlier than the mainframe systems that wer prevalent at the time and which wer horrible to use without a lot of training (or even with it). By contrast, Unix commands were simple, self documenting. Anyone could use it.

I bought a Mac laptop once and lasted about 3 months before running back to Linux. Mac OS may be great for some people, but it’s definitely not for everyone. It was also hell to pull my photos out of their damn software.

The machine was ok though.

I think that the point is to get a much bigger radiator by moving it to a less cramped location. The point is to make the process more efficient, not to change its nature.

The purpose of Unix was to be user friendly. And it is. You haven’t seen what it replaced.

Also friendliness doesn’t require a Fisher Price interface.

Absolutely. Gnu was made to be specifically different from Unix which was becoming locked down by AT&T copyrights. Gnu wasn’t Unix, and therefore still isn’t.

Being able to be called Unix just means paying for certification. No more, no less.

I can count the times that I’ve needed windows for something other than a game (no longer an issue) in the past 25+ years on one hand.

Never heard of anything like that. The chameleon it is.

It’s 7 hours when you factor in the updates and the time spent having to go fish for software all over the Internet.
