    Some of my freinds switched to Linix and like it, I haven't tried it yet. 

    And I'm also suprised that MacOS hasn't been discussed yet :)

    MacOS 🙂    I have been using an iMac 2015 5K display everyday for hours at a time.  I just leave it on and put it to sleep.  No fan noise,  just bliss.  One piece computer unit, built in display and speakers.  No more ":( blue screens" and wasting time and money in repairs and issues configuring software or devices for me.  I also have setup seven desktop spaces with different apps running on each one that I can scroll, switch, to.  Apps can be assigned to different Desktops.  Each Desktop has its own background.  Another nice feature is that I can shut down the computer, restart it and continue where I left off without having to reopen the apps and files.  It does it for me.

    I've read that the Plexi Khorn didn't sound that good.  It was a Plexiglas clone of a wooden Khorn, which is probably why.  In most cases, when you make a clone of something, with the exact same dimensions, but use a very different material, it doesn't generally work that well.  Different materials may be stiffer or less stiff, for example.  Cloning a cast-iron engine out of aluminum, for another example, would not work well, because of the different stiffness of the aluminum, different heat propagation properties, and so on, so an aluminum engine may have the same bore and stroke, but nearly everything else would be different, like the wall thicknesses in many locations. 

     

    However, the Plexi Khorn was not built to sound good, it was built to show the complexity of the Klipschorn cabinet and horn construction and sound path, and it was quite effective for that purpose.

    I find it appealing that it is one of a kind.  Visual over sound.
