Disregarding custom OS that will probably be made first.

I think quantum computers may be impossible. But if they are possible, they will be a USB/PCIe accessory that works alongside an ordinary processor running an ordinary operating system.
I expect Linux will have a driver for quantum computers before Windows.
how can a thing that has existed for years be impossible?
What exists is a weird engineering experiment that runs some synthetic tests that are designed to return a number that you plot on a graph which you show your investors. And it costs all the money in the world and then some.
Not only there is no practical use for all that, there are debates about what the practical uses might even be in theory for something that nobody really sure is happening.regular computers were useless except for basic addition and multiplication for a long time, and now we have the internet. quantum computers, when they are ready, will be capable of doing calculations much faster than it’s even physically possible for normal computers to. just because it isn’t ready yet doesn’t mean it will never be useful. your take is shortsighted and ignorant of how developing new stuff works.
Sometimes ignorance makes its origins obvious, but literally every single part of your viewpoint can be disproven by just reading any science communication website, much less the actual papers behind the quantum processors currently in commercial operation so how you came to believe what you believe is just a complete mystery.
There are no useful quantum computers. If you disagree, provide a citation.
Boy do I have a bridge to sell you
Quantum circuits aren’t general-purpose computers—they’re added to conventional computers to allow them to perform a small handful of algorithms more efficiently. I don’t believe any of those algorithms would benefit the basic features of an operating system enough that it would make sense to modify an OS to require the use of one.
(Although I could totally see Microsoft doing something like only licensing their circuit’s drivers to run on Windows.)
This is not how this works. One day in the future, when quantum computers have matured enough to do something actually useful instead of just quantum benchmarks, they still will not be general purpose systems.
The situation will be more like video cards at the moment: it would be a subsystem doing something very specialized and limited, being controlled by a driver handing over certain jobs from the OS of the real processor.
neither, you need to have a totally new architecture
Finally we can tell the console people we will have PC 2!
Quantum computing is a pipe dream, it’s never going to happen.
it’s happening but it’s probably not the thing that you think it is
It’s already happening so… L take?
No, what is happening is a lot of hot wind is being expelled and the word quantum computing is being thrown around.
There is nothing actually concrete that has been realized, or will be realized.
It’s a huge fucking investment sham.
A wonderful idea that should have been pursued, immediately revealed to be garbage, it’s never going anywhere.
Just like building flying machines, its impossible.
Just like humans landing on the moon, its impossible.
Hey I mean it’s fun to make snappy comments, but it’s a joke. There is no merit to the underlying principles in quantum mechanics, it’s a giant shell game, and it’s all about investments and the PhD machine. It’s all phony, take it from somebody who did 30 years of game development and comp sci. It’s fucking nonsense.
