I wouldn’t call TempleOS bad, it’s just designed for a different use case. Most OSes are designed to function for productivity. TempleOS is designed to display schizophrenic delusions
From wiki: "As a child, Davis [the author of TempleOS] used an Apple II at his elementary school, and as a teenager, learned assembly language on a Commodore 64. He earned a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Arizona State University in 1994. […] In 2005, Davis stated that his ambition for [his] Operating System was “to recreate the dynamic environment that used to exist when the Commodore 64 was around and everyone was creating odd-ball software”. He envisioned the system as a Commodore 64 with a “thousand times” more powerful processing speed. Three years later, he wrote that the primary purpose of LoseThos was “for making video games. It has no networking or Internet support. As far as I’m concerned, that would be reinventing the wheel”.
As you’d expect from someone who suffered from schizophrenia and variety of other mental issues. This doesn’t change the fact that Temple OS is impressive considering that it was made by one man.
Yeah, people love to talk and speculate on where madness and genius intersect, but his is a stark reminder of what that can so often look like. When the mental illness is something like adhd or autism or depression you can get folks like Einstein Newton and DaVinci (or yet another person who drank or drugged themselves to death because they couldn’t cope with everything and their inability to act on their genius), but there are mental illnesses like his where it isn’t some quirks or something easy to brush aside because they’re doing something great. What he did was impressive and brilliant and never capable of being anything more than a novelty and he didn’t seem to understand that fact.
You don’t know a bad OS until you’ve tried something like TempleOS
That’s sacrilege. Temple os is the best os
The only real OS
🙏

An OS is about compatibility and function.
TempleOS has neither.

…and he proceeded to rant about how his OS was better than Linux every chance he got
