Hacking Why Does Everyone Hate On SX OS?

[tpax]

Yeah but my point is that you're wrong in saying windows is a better os because it has more users. It has more users because dos and then early windows were what people had so they got all the 3rd party support. That doesnt apply here where 3rd parties arent making tools to be run exclusively on sx os. Windows is not better than the free alternative as an os, it's better because it came first and got more users.

Don't get me wrong(TM) my friend, I have a Linus Torvalds shrine at home myself.
But Windows is just a better overall package from the perspective of an end-user. It is easier to install, it is easier to use, it is easier to get software for, it is the most supported OS worldwide.
I have been using Gentoo for over 15 years now, and I love it. But since time became more and more valuable over the past years, Windows is the only alternative if you want to be productive in a general manner.
And same goes for SX OS,hence the analogy.

I do believe that Reinx is a better overall package for people who are into homebrew and experimentation.
SX OS is definitely a better overall package in terms of the basic end user. The people who just want a nice UI where they can see their games and maybe some homebrew apps.

Although Linux > Windows for me.

UNIX came first. Most pre-press, desktop publishing and video was done on macs in the 90's and SUN systems before that.
MSDOS only became popular because it was distributed as PCDOS with IBM systems, where CP/M was also available but IBM was charging 3-4 times the price of PCDOS so that pretty much spelled the end for CP/M. Not to mention the founder dying from falling on a table in a pub.

And what was so special about all those IBM PCs and clones on everyone's desk at home and at the office? Games.
I originally owned a C64, TRS-80, Mac Classic, and a 386. I stuck with the 386 then 486 then, well you know the story. Why? Games.
I could go on and on but I'm not here for a history lesson.

Hi /g/ memer, you ever browse TPG?

Didn't know the Gentoo part became a meme on /g/, haven't been there for over 10 years. Landed on tpg few times through google.

The reason for that was IBM paid a one time license to Microsoft for PCDOS, while digital research wanted a per copy license.

Microsoft predicted where the market was going, Digital Research were too busy looking at where the market had been and milking profits.

I hate all *ix systems. Even though it has some advantages.

I pre ordered as I was impatient.
I had fun with it for a few weeks before the community had sig patches. Never really used it from that point any longer. I love the dongle though.
Their emunand "feature" is a bad joke.
And yes they stole code and we complain about it although we use it for piracy but even scene releases of games come bundled with a NFO file telling you to buy the game if you liked it while TX doesn't even give credit for what they've taken.

IMO the way to go right now is SX if price is not a concern. I doubt it will stay that way forever as I easily see the alternatives becoming better eventually - but it's the best one for now.

TX EmuNAND is a freaking joke, but I just use another switch for online content so that was not a problem to me.

Loooool buy the game if you like it but here it is for free. Yeah that makes it all better.

But you're not just watching. You're actively participating. That makes you not so special as you may have thought, I guess.

I would get SX OS if not for them ripping of literally every feature I can get for free.

NSP Installer --> Tinfoil
Stealth Mode --> Basic DNS settings

Although I gotta praise them for the XCI loading.

But 4NXCI exists and a prototype of a XCI Installer based on Tinfoil exists now so even that will be obsolete lol
