Gaming on OSX is a disaster due to no official Vulkan support and OpenGL capped at 4.1. Its like a big “go away” sign. Even before that, performance and frame rates were lower. A luxury car.

Ubuntu with its Unity design first, then Snap, put desktop Linux back a decade. What a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. A SUV.

Win11 is stable and fast(ish), but we’d be crazy to depend on a commercial OS for privacy, security and long term stability (unless subscription model). A sedan.

Haiku is amazing, but why are there so little users and devs? With Chromium based apps (eg. Falcon) the modern web is no longer a problem on Haiku. It’s actually got the most modern design of the batch I’m listing,the least bloat and performance is great. Batmobile.

The ‘BSDs. Great performance, reliable systems, great license, they do need a simple GUI installer. Trucks.
