Many distros would require a one-time payment, and they would do business on the side to make money, in this blue trapped bubble we live in where money dominates all.

Linus Torvalds is a pragmatist actually. Or did you mean GNU? But GNU is fine and I don't see them as cultists either.

It could be better but there are many issues not related to lack of pragmatism. For one there's still much less money and many problems are problems with drivers or missing software options like Adobe. It's not like Linux users are blocking Nvidia or Adobe from contributing.

Linux is pretty good for pragmatic, boring tasks actually, like programming, servers or scientific computing.

Maybe in the sense that it being cheaper caused a chain reaction, but at this point it really works well. I have my compilers, I have my libraries etc. So the opposite of what happened with art software of entertainment software.

the best outcome would be something like windows 7 but with a lot of customization, it would be the go to for software preservation and archivists, updates would be 100% optional only to keep compatibility with new hardware, software distribution would be similar to how android apk files work, but without obsolescence and fragmentation. It would have something like win32 api embedded with the kernel itself

Stallman and his big-nosed friends literally live off the work of other people.
Fucking grifters. At the same time they rip off other people's hard work for profit, they claim to be protecting developers from "big companies."

jesus m8. Just look at how Stallman stole emacs and to this day claims he wrote it all by himself.
And don't let me start on HURD. It's been almost 30 years and a shitload in donations, and he still can't boot that piece of shit. Even religious schizos have working kernel. Hell, even /mlp/ has a working kernel.

systemd would have been rejected and potterjew would've gotten his legs broken. Gnome would do less bullshit, be much smaller, and part of a standard Linux, which wouldn't be just the kernel.
Other than that, no changes.

Nigga there's no way you're a human being endowed with intelligence. Holy fuck!
What's the point of participating in a project in your spare time just for pure pragmatism? You do that when you're at your 9-to-5 job. In your free time you want to dedicate yourself to something that you see as having a higher moral value. The reason people contributed to open-source projects like Linux (especially in the past) was purely ideological, for fun, or out of curiosity. Nobody was there with the altruistic intention of making the cloud of the Goldberg big tech 0.001% faster. They were there precisely because of all the aura that open-source had.
I only work pragmatically and mechanically if I'm being paid, otherwise I'll be doing some random project in Scheme simply because I like it, not to please big corpos.

>hur cpp good, crablang bad
I wonder if at least half of those who curse Rust in favor of C++ here have even bothered to do a medium-sized project in C++. Your little C++ program that changes your wallpaper every 60 seconds isn't even a basic project.
I worked with Rust for almost a year, on a relatively complex codebase, and I've worked with C++ almost my whole life, and I guarantee you that Rust, most of the time, will be much better to work with than C++.
Note that I'm not saying Rust is good, but rather that C++ is simply unbearable. Anyone who has spent a good amount of time in C realises this. Yes, Rust is crap, I hate it too, but if I had to choose between working with Rust or C++, I would choose Rust without even thinking.
Your problem is more of a childish dualistic mentality. There are much better languages than Rust, but you insist on selling C++ as panacea, it's not. If you want a good language for working with systems, Ada would be much better than Rust and C++, but it seems you're more concerned with throwing a tantrum against Rust than actually looking for a better alternative.

It wouldn't use GNOME. .deb files etc would work like a .exe installer. Changes could be rolled back pre-boot if the system gets broken by an update. Terminal would have autocomplete guesses when you go to write commands e.g. once you type lsb it will have autocomplete with tab for lsblk. Notebook support would be better for gestures etc. Extra hardcore focus on something like Wine, so it can run Windows only programs or video games like a VM would.

>Stallman stole emacs and to this day claims he wrote it all by himself
First, rms never said he "wrote everything himself." Second, there's almost no similarity between Emacs and TECO, especially in the code. You simply don't know what you're talking about. Let's do this: take the Emacs codebase (versions 13-18) and the TECO codebase, then show me where the similarities are. If you can't point them out, I'll know you're talking nonsense that you don't understand.
>At the same time they rip off other people's hard work for profit, they claim to be protecting developers from "big companies."
Show me one (1) FSF project that has been "stolen" from another developer. Just one (1).
>And don't let me start on HURD. It's been almost 30 years and a shitload in donations, and he still can't boot that piece of shit
Yet another load of bullshit that shows how ignorant you are on the subject. GNU Hurd is already in use and you can even get it from Guix, as well as linux-libre. The issue is that you expect the GNU project, which receives literally crumbs a year, to perform as well as the Linux Foundation, which has tons of millions of dollars every year. It's obvious that Linux will develop faster, damn it. Even a child would know that. Your criticism would be valid if the FSF received as much money as the Linux Foundation.
>Stallman and his big-nosed friends
It's ironic that you're sucking up to Linus, who filled the Linux Foundation with freaks and keeps funding left-wing projects. It's not the FSF that shoves proprietary blobs into the Kernel, quite the opposite, they do the cleanup work for those who don't want Jewish slop on their machines. RMS never benefited from Jewish favors, very different from Linus, who even promotes the ESG agenda and similar Jewish cancers.

Wash your mouth out before criticizing RMS and the FSF. Fuck you, you fucking nigger macaque faggot.

>developed by pragmatists instead of cultists
You can't really point a finger to something like Windows and say "this was developed by pragmatists", I'd say Microsoft is much more attached to an ideological agenda than any Linux development team or community. I'm pretty sure there are Linux distributions developed by said "pragmatists" which don't work as it should. The problem with Linux is that not many companies are interested in making software for its consumer base. Things would be much better if companies like NVIDIA decided to give a shit about the penguin.

I'm pretty sure the perfect operating system would be something like an open-source, rolling release version of Windows 7.
