&gt; Everything seems unnecessarily complex.<p>This impulse to find a simpler land of software is what I relate to in the Suckless stuff, and Terry Davis&#x27; TempleOS.<p>What these have in common is a large degree of separation from &quot;the industry.&quot; There is no commercial reward in following this impulse. But I think it marks a certain level of maturity as a person who is passionately into computers and software and thinks about them a lot.<p>Computers aren&#x27;t the problem. Software isn&#x27;t the problem. The culture of people who write software is only part of the problem. The problem is &quot;the industry.&quot;<p>If you really can&#x27;t stand the unnecessary bullshit anymore and aren&#x27;t going to become a hermit on a mountain you probably should at least find other hobbies, if not change careers.
