Bottom left. Tails OS best OS

It really is just good! I haven’t started using it full-time but I keep thinking I should try it at least for a bit.

The correct spelling is DBMS. The picture is accurate though.

Base Data System Management

Still technically means the same thing

KolibriOS and MenuetOS are there, but are so tiny we can't see them at all.

AROS was there, but the kitty mascot refuses every pill

Red. Currently in the process of trying to set up VMs on my Fedora workstation ( with virtmanager). It's a bit of a struggle getting them to save state right now, but once that's done I'm one step closer to never needing to go back.

i mean in the truest and most original sense, the red pill represented waking up from the status quo. in a world owned by Microsoft and Apple, a red pill is what linux is

ReactOS can vaguely work, but since it can't really run anything, it's of limited usefulness.

in its truest form, the red pill in the matrix represented estrogen. it's really funny that nazis chose that as their dog whistle

So just say freebsd lol it's the last pill shown

But freebsd is not NetBSD, they are very similar, but technically not the same.

Edit: first comment was NetBSD

built off the windows nt kernel 🤡

Yeah, not a fan of anything microsoft but it's a commendable effort to make an open source operating system based off of nt

You missed my point. There's no Microsoft in there. It's related to Microsoft pretty much the same way Linux is to minix.

I was green for awhile but after booting windows for the first time in 4 months to use a scanner it started syncing my files with one drive without my permission (I never set this up). I did a hard shutdown and that was it.

I would rather rip out a molar then boot windows on bare hardware again.

??? It's the nt kernel, I was trying to get the point across that it was the same kernel that windows uses. It's also built to have full compatibility with windows software. I mean the project calls itself a free and opensource reimplementation of windows. It's built using an "open source version of the NT operating system." It's very much not just what linux is to minix. Minix uses an entirely different kernel to linux, I mean it's even a micro kernel in comparison to linux's monolithic one. The goal is 1 to 1 compatibility with windows software and drivers, it's very much supposed to be basically an open source windows-like os.
