    Side note, isn’t TempleOS not Linux based?

    Seems like the creator (forget his name) had some beef with Linus Torvalds and was originally trying to build something to get away from his software, no?

    Edit: yeah, based on the Wikipedia Page, it looks like its not based on the Linux Kernel. Also dev’s name was Terry Davis.

      No, it’s not. I’m making fun of NordVPN for calling it one.

      He made it because his schizophrenia made him believe that god told him to make an OS. It’s quite a sad story. ):

        Yeah, I remember reading about it a few years ago. Guy seems really talented, if kinda crazy and pretty racist. Curious to see where he’d be today if he hadn’t lost his marbles.

          Down the Rabbit Hole: TempleOS.

          His racism was something that happened after he became schizophrenic, so I wouldn’t dwell to much on that.

          If I’m remember the documentary correctly, his death happened shortly after what appear to be lucidly on his social media.

            Yeah, I don’t think it was confirmed to be suicide, but it sure looks a lot like suicide.

            I guess what I mean to say is that I wonder what he’d be up to if he hadn’t done that.

              His family couldn’t care for him, and in the United States, there is no mental health care for the indigent. A horrific, pointless and tragic death, the same as suffered by many schizophrenics. He was a talented and capable man, and he probably would still be alive if we didn’t live in a failing society.
