 Discuss alternative OSes that are not Linux, Windows or Mac OSX.

If you want to discuss GNU/Linux distros, there is already a thread for it: >>>/tech/530

Some hastily written notes...
* everyone thinks UNIX (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc4ROCJYbm0) is still the state-of-art. Ignorants praise Windows, not knowing it's originally a dumbed down clone of VMS that has some patches ported from OS/2 (https://www.itprotoday.com/compute-engines/windows-nt-and-vms-rest-story). Some say that Windows is also still mainly a single-user system that emulates a multi-user system. I think we are living Higurashi tier time loop when it comes to operating systems...
 (and CPUs: X86 is relic from the times of Vaxen. ARM, PowerPC/Power ISA, MIPS, RISC-V are more modern and better. Even modern X86 CPUs converts CISC to RISC in the microcode!)
* Plan9 (9front? Also, see plan9port and 9base), BeOS (Haiku) and TempleOS were the last innovative operating systems that I know of. Even the OSDev people imitate UNIX.
* It's awful that a misbehaving device driver can take down the whole system. Microkernels (e.g. MINIX, GNU Hurd, seL4) or muh """hybrid kernels""" (e.g. DragonFly BSD, Haiku, ReactOS I don't know if modern Windows has a hybrid kernel.) should be the norm. MINIX is incidentally perhaps the most used OS because ((( Intel ME ))) uses it as a basis for the CIAware that runs on our fucken CPUs!
* Nearly all criticism of UNIX is historic stuff: The UNIX-HATERS Handbook (https://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf a joke), Multicians (https://www.multicians.org/) and LispM (http://fare.tunes.org/LispM.html) users...
* Worse is better or do the right thing? https://www.dreamsongs.com/RiseOfWorseIsBetter.html & https://www.dreamsongs.com/WorseIsBetter.html
* Some modern UNIX-related innovations: 9p, DTrace, Solaris Zones & FreeBSD Jails, Nix & Guix...

Any propaganda is done first and foremost for the propagandists' bosses, and only secondarily for the target audience. That's what makes it vulnerable. Can you imagine that some "manager for working with online communities" would approve the use of something provocative or even forbidden in a discussion?
Russian pictures, or even the most sacred of cows - CP... They will guarantee that on the other end of the line there is a living person who has taken good care of his anonymity and is ready to risk his life for his opinion.
If we are talking about strictly censored garbage dumps, then I noticed that:
1) AI cannot be ironic. At all.
2) Living bots are tied hand and foot by the agenda. They are afraid to deviate from the party line even by a millimeter. A person condemns Russia for the war, but recognizes Crimea as Russian, or supports tolerance, but hates green energy - it means he is not paid for his posts.

There's nothing much for the Jews to exploit in space, which is one of the reasons why those nice 1970s Spees Colony proposals were shoah'd in favor of gibsmedats implying Jews could survive on an O'Neill colony without a dedicated slave caste of shabbos goyim and per-child genetic treatment in the first place.
Space mining would also directly threaten the sacred economig status quo by making sought-after materials like Aluminium, Iridium, Tin, G*ld etc. much cheaper if successfully mined but that threatens muh profits and stocks which is equivalent to the holocaust oy vey.

- chat, voice calls, video calls, file transfer
- has servers, so you send stuff to people who are not online
- you can host your own servers if you want to
- has an a

- has desktop application
I already moved my relatives to it.

SimpleX and Session are the only messengers that don't tie all your data to a phone number and my prepaid card is video verified with me and my government issued ID card and charged up using my bank account.

Repost of the Julay /tech/ sticky with some minor edits: https://archive.vn/znAXT
Beginner Info
If you would like to try out GNU/Linux because of https://itvision.altervista.org/why-windows-10-sucks.html, you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine (preferably using KVM or Oracle VirtualBox for newfriends).
1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything (keep in mind that the performance of live distros might be very different than from distro that was booted from your HDD, as most distros are loaded in RAM and don't include the proprietary drivers for NVIDIA GPUs or up-to-date Mesa libraries in their isos).
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows (make sure to install Windows first, as it can "replace" GRUB or other UNIX bootloaders, and troubleshooting of Windows replacing your bootloader of choice might be painful for people that just started learning about the Linux kernel)
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux (you really shouldn't do this, if you don't know what you're putting yourself into, see: https://itvision.altervista.org/why.linux.is.not.ready.for.the.desktop.current.html).

Resources:
Use your web browser and search engine of choice. Good comparison between them is hosted here:
https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/browsers.html
https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/search.html
If not sure which browser to choose, just use the Tor Browser Bundle:
https://www.torproject.org/
or paste these commands to your terminal emulator of choice (please make sure to first learn what they're exactly doing):

I already tried it. The Void livecds are broken, trying to install packages complains about some library versioning bullshit and errors. Or it actually succeeds and then errors when you try to run the program. If you try to update the packages it pulls in 2GB+ of updates.

It's because the repos don't keep outdated packages so you either update everything or it can't install packages. With Devuan, installing more packages works and it only makes the minimal updates necessary for that.

Also the Void LiveCDs suffer from screen tearing.

Then I tried Chimaera and was only able to install it with xfce; its a shame, I wanted it with KDE but it seems its broken too.
I really liked runit, but for now its back to Debian 12 and systemd.
