Ask HN: Are there any lean operating systems left?
If I open anything on current OSes like macos, windows, things literally take seconds to open. Start CMD/Terminal on a cold booted system and I see it literally taking 1 or 2 seconds for CMD/Terminal to open.
I remove desktop animations, motion effects and all fluff and it gets better but there is still visible lag between me clicking and the app opening.
Are there any OSes left that don't add this kind of fluff? The ones that are absolutely as lean as possible and focus on getting work done.
I mean I am a simple person. I don't need any of the fluff in the OSes. I don't need animation effects, motion effects, transparency. Nothing. When I want to open a desktop app, I just want to open and do what I tell it to do.
Any OS like that for me? Am I the only one who needs a simple OS that does things without frills?
