Macos as King deeply offends me in a way I didn't think possible.
I feel like this isn't 100% accurate, so I fixed it.
Wow, you even corrected the fonts. Splendid work!
If I'm shaking my own hand on this, do I wash them twice?
Just keep scrubbing until your hands aren't touching a Mac user.
You can't wash off what is on MacOS hands
Some of these are funny and make me laugh but I really hate that this seems to be the Linux identity.
Shitting on Windows and it's users got old years ago. I see one of these every few days, or I see it in the comments attacking other users, it's just miserable and sad after a while.
Like we get it, windows bad, lets move on.
Eh, it's all heretics all the way down.
Pick a preference. Go on. Any preference at all. Coffee? Great! All the coffee snobs agree that Starbucks is shit coffee. Then the pour-over gals and the espresso makers go home and wash their hands. Then the 40/60 pour-over gals meet with the 30/70 pour-over guys and agree that the espresso makers suck; then THEY go home and wash their hands. Then the 30/70 Japanese filter guys meet with the 30/70 German filter guys and agree that the 40/60 gals stink, and so on ad nauseum.
No group hates outsiders more than they hate heretics within their own group.
I just gotta say, I'm glad I don't know what all that coffee terminology is, I'm better off not knowing.
macOS is UNIX. If your workflow is heavy on the command line, it feels pretty similar to Linux, which is no surprise. The userspace is definitely different (it's not GNU) but if you ssh into a macOS box, you should feel pretty much at home.
I feel like a lot of these flame wars are basically just "I like Y GUI better." Which is one of the great things about Linux of course, that I can run i3 and you can run Plasma. For me, having a more-or-less unified (command line) interface across my Linux laptop, my various home lab SBCs, my VPS, and my work laptop is pretty nice.
(And yes. I would much, much, much prefer i3 to yabai on macOS.)
In this case, I think the OS being closed source and kind of a "walled garden" where a company controls everything is what most Linux users dislike about Mac.
None, or at least very few of us hate on FreeBSD or OpenIndiana the way we do on macOSX, so it's not about it being UNIX. Furthermore, some Linux DEs can resemble the mac interface a bit, like GNOME, or even KDE if it's customized a certain way. Granted, GNOME does have a few haters among us, but not at the same level as Apple.
macOS: there are very few issues, but when you encounter one, it’s impossible to fix
Linux: there are lots of issues, and but they are all fixable, but each fix might be a rabbit hole of figuring out how to compile someone’s GitHub project they seemingly abandoned 4 years ago.
But boy oh boy, do you learn things from those rabbit holes. It can be a MASSIVE pain, but I enjoy that I'm at least picking up XP points whenever I make time to fix stuff and learn more.
It's technically Unix, but with randomised directories, with illegible logs, with a lot of the openness taken out and replaced by Apple's "our way or the highway". It's Unix for people who didn't want Unix anyway.
Word on the street is that GNU’s not Unix.
I'm a windows user and agree that windows is shit
Repost this again please
I just hate myself: I‘m using a Linux Workstation with Job specific Windows VMs. Sometimes I even WOL my Workstation, connect my MacBook via VNC and look up stuff in Windows…
macOS/Linux pretty much feels the same. Windows constantly bothered me with issues…
I mean, Windows is the weird one of the three.
We all know Linux users most likely have some greasy, Cheeto dust-covered fingers.
I prefer windows than Mac. At least windows and Linux UIs use some kind of similar pattern. Mac is too expensive and much more close than windows.
Games? Mac is a joke. Personalization? Mac is a joke Price? Lmao
Windows is dog water but is always my second option, at least I can use some Linux with wsl and dont have to relearn how to type.
Not a fan of Apple, but I have a work M1 MacBook that I use as my personal laptop, and it actually runs games really well. Even most games that aren't made for Mac will run with the GPT.
I personally feel like I can easier work with macos when I dont have windows at hand. In general I'm using Macos even fewer but its nice to have all Unix tools at hand. With brew its also seamless to install new stuff. Windows isn't even unix...
Mac is too expensive
Have you ever paid for a copy of Windows? You know you should, right?
If you’re talking about hardware instead, Mac computers are expensive but when it comes to quality the vast majority of PC laptops feel like fucking toys compared to them. When I see a hp or dell laptops Im repulsed (not talking about super duper premium lines which are hit and miss at best). I personally use an M1 macbook pro and I love the computer, the OS is starting to bother me though and I really wish Apple weren’t dicks and would make Linux run on the M cpus themselves.
I use both, which is why I never touch myself🧐
MacOS < Windows < Linux
I run linux and use it every day... from the windows command line.
