Interesting. It’s like those data centers that ran on thousands of Xboxes

Apple had its current desktop environment for it’s proprietary ecosystem built on BSD with their own twist while supercomputers are typically multiuser parallel computing beats, so I’d say it is really fucking surprising. Pretty and responsive desktop environments and breathtaking number crunchers are the polar opposites of a product. Fuck me, you’ll find UNIX roots in Windows NT but my flabbers would be ghasted if Deep Blue had dropped a Blue Screen.

I tried PopOS on my laptop but found it fucky so I tried Fedora KDE and it works. Too many steps Debian -> Ubuntu -> PopOS.

Wait what Mac?

I found out about this yesterday when searching for the KDE sources to make some alterations to the lock screen. I guess this distro is not for me.

FYI, you can get a feel for most distros by running it from a LiveCD/USB stick, fiddle about and see what works and what doesn’t.

Get back with results. I switched from Pop!_OS to Fedora KDE today. So far my annoyances with Pop and Gnome are gone and what little I had time to try out with Steam worked well. The kernel is on par with pop. I’m used to Debian based distros and using apt from the command line so it will be a learning experience, but damn the Fedora GUI for packages is streets ahead I must say.

So do the enterprise version work with a regular Win 11 (or Win 10 Pro) licence?

I think it looks nice with a subtle retro feel to it. Not sure why but the rounded E are part.

I use CTRL-A locally on my computers and CTRL-B on servers. Keeps it easy and consistent to switch between windows and tasks.
