You're about 20 years too late for Claris anything.

For a beta 1 it is surprisingly usable. It felt very sluggish for the first hour or so with indexing but having been left overnight it is much smoother now. I’ve crashed the springboard a couple times and there are some virtual keyboard bugs, but it feels decent otherwise. This is on an iPad Pro M4.

Not really understanding what you mean.

Apple’s decision to restrict browser rendering engines, for better or worse, probably had quite a lot to do with this, in the same way that refusing to implement Flash really kicked HTML5 into life. I can’t say I’m mad at the result though, the result has been thousands of high-quality native apps.

These days quite a lot of bloatware appears on even a vanilla Windows 11 install from a Microsoft ISO, although I did discover weirdly that you can avoid much of it out of the box if you install Windows as “English (International)” instead of a country-specific locale.

It’s difficult to understate how good iPads are for those with modest requirements. Not perfect by any means — iPadOS could certainly be a lot more discoverable instead of hiding things under gestures or mysteriously-iconed buttons — but it’s overall pretty good. Easy to pick up and run with.

Asking as a serious question and not to take sides in fanboyism: was this a configuration that he achieved by himself without help?

I have long held a gripe that today’s computers are mostly built without much understanding of the people using them. Many can’t figure out filesystems for example.

This from the same BBC that still hasn't figured out how to stream 4K to an Apple TV when every other streaming service on the planet has.
