Can't everyone design a better OS than the current operating systems? More features, easier to use as a user, safer, easier to write programs for it, less bugs, more compatibility, etc. I am using operating systems for years, and I have ideas how they should work on the surface.

But it will be slower, and won't have any useful software written for it, also you won't be able to use internet or your GPU. (To be fair several years ago I tried the HURD distribution ArchHurd. I just installed on it on my laptop, and by luck internet just worked, and had a firefox running so it was good.)



edit: probably I did not even install it, but it was a live system.
