I agree with the comments a Mac is better than windows no doubt
I tried to be unbiased, but failed. Apple and Linux should be switched.
I don’t know about macOS, but from experience, neither Linux nor Windows are actually “just works”. Although it will depend on distro, I definitely have different experience on Arch and Manjaro than say Mint users. Mint worked for me well, although older dependencies have also killed “just works” a few times.
Macintosh OS is the most fucked up UNIX I’ve ever used. Worse than Solaris 8
Where is BSD? I feel like there are still steps before you reach TempleOS.
Not relevant anymore, TempleOS now has more users than BSD.
As it was written.
Owing chrome OS. It is NEVER the answer.
I thought one merely leased ChromeOS?
I want it; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS
Man, this guy’s wiki background ends on a banger.
" In mid-2013, his website announced: “God’s temple is finished. Now, God kills CIA until it spreads [sic].”[6]
Davis died after being hit by a train on August 11, 2018.[7]"
RIP king.
Do you like being spied on and having your data sold?
=> Windows or ChromeOSDo you have too much money?
=> MacDo you have a decent set of working brains?
=> LinuxMicrosoft’s telemetry isnt ideal, but they’re not selling your Windows usage data. That is explicitly just used for the OS developers to diagnose issues and evaluate what features are being used.
Your bing data and shit they are absolutely selling, but it has a different privacy agreement.
Almost no company is selling your data. They’re selling services that they can offer based on the data collected about you. The data itself is too valuable to be sold, as their monopoly on it is the basis for their business model. That’s why all these “we’re not selling your personal data” statements are pointless at best and dishonest at worst.

yee, guess they are acually the good guys.
Used and refurbished Macs aren’t that expensive.
“if you don’t use linux you are literally unintelligent and there’s no other reason why someone wouldn’t want to spend hours configuring a personal device” — one inevitable comment under every post like this for some reason
Hey! I have a life. It just wholly revolves around my computer.
Have you ever tried to sudo touch some grass?
Yeah, that’s why I have a silk touch shovel, so I can pick up grass blocks.
Working computer - >Mac
Should have been:
Do you have more money than brains?->Mac
Or
Fuck this, I’m doing this for shit and giggles. ->Mac
Is my employer paying for it? ➔ 🍎
The best thing about quitting was returning that damned Mac… Hated every second of using it, horrid UX.
MacOS fails at the main job of OS: managing multiple running applications / windows. I do not understand how they get praise.
And just like any Linux distro, you can completely customize it. Hammerspoon will completely solve almost every problem you have with macOS.
And then they released Stage Manager to assist with this 🤣 it is horrible, don’t get why anyone would use it
Guess I’m dumb dev then 😞
I absolutely cannot figure out what to do in order to fix an Apple computer when it’s bugging out. Is it a part? The OS? Something external? How am I supposed to diagnose this fucker with so little information? Windows is rapidly heading down the same road. Linux will remain the final bastion of those who fix their electronics themselves
Mac is Linux? You debug it the exact same way, except unlike Linux, you don’t have to worry about 50 different distros, so it’s a lot easier to find solutions. Debugging a hardware issue is just as hard as any other platform… what are you even trying?
The one thing I’d agree is that it tends to be harder to fix hardware issues. Well, on the new one’s you just don’t because it’s soldered, but a friend’s late 2015 27 inch imac has a borked SSD, and to replace it, we’d need to take off the glued on screen.
Softwarewise, I prefer the issue-finding experience to the windows one, though.
Harder to fix completely depends on which manufacturer you bought your laptop from, but yeah Macs aren’t easy to fix hardware issues. But finding them is just like other platforms, there’s nothing different there.
Well, yeah, anyone that solders memory and storage will be exponentially harder to fix. I’d be hard pressed to think of any more difficult to fix than the current Apple lineup. Equally difficult? Sure, there’s plenty.
I wouldn’t be surprised of there’s shome shitbox out there I just haven’t had in front of me yet.
If shit gets real real, developer.apple.com.
macOS is Unix. Everything can be logged and reported through the terminal if you want more debugging information. There are also power tools you can download that give you better GUI-based control over a myriad of things.
Though it’s worse now than it was ten years ago. Apple’s software has been suffering under Tim Cook and it’s probably not going to get better until he’s gone.

Buy a new one, duh
Debugging a Mac is just as simple as debugging a Linux OS… because it is Linux.
I can’t tell if you’re making a joke or just confidentially incorrect
It’s a lot simpler to say Linux to keep the conversation going than it is to say Mac is BSD based and therefore is a Unix system and has all the exact same benefits of a Unix based system. There is no joke here, maybe you just like correcting people when they’re trying to have a conversation.
Calling something Linux is very specific, and it’s just not true for macOS. E g. if someone brings you an encrypted drive that uses LUKS, you can’t mount it in macOS. But both are Unix-like, macOS even being UNIX certified. However, from what I understand, these mostly concern a specific part of the stack that doesn’t guarantee that you can work with the other system, this is rather something for applications to target. I mean cool I can enter a shell and list files on macOS, but that doesn’t fix the problem.
Well, macOS is unix based, and when debbuging a friends mac, I usually find that I find the terminal more comfortable than the Windows Command Prompt.
Now, that Mac does break in very weird ways sometimes, but I digress.
Linux Is Not UniX
Also Gnu is Not Unix
Or do the same basic troubleshooting you would for any other computer. It sounds like the person you’re replying to doesn’t know how to do that. They should learn. It’s not that hard.
Indeed I think the “Yes/No” are the wrong way around on the Apple part of the flow.
Also, why else do you think they call them geniuses. Only geniuses could possibly fix your smooth metal rectangle.
“After
smoking a bowl in the break roomthorough investigation, we have determined that you need to buy a new one.”
If only it had a whole slew of logs, like any other OS, that I could easily Google the locations of… Nah, vomiting ignorance on Lemmy is easier.

After being forced to use an iMac in collage, I’ll admit it’s fine and definitely better than windows. But it’s still annoying. I wouldn’t call not being able to use the F key row, just because I dare to use a non apple keyboard a “working computer”, just as a most in my face example, there’s much more. It works and it does so looking pretty, as long as you have literally zero personal preferences.
What kind of Bizzaro world reverse order is this nonsense? Mac is worse than Windows is worse than Linux.
A normie world.
Copium needs to justify spending $800 for 2tb of SSD or $400 for 8 GB of ram like if we still were in the early 2010s
This meme does seem to be from the early 2010s, to be fair.
By what criteria?
At work I honestly wish I had requested a Mac. My Lenovo laptop is always freezing while I’m off to lunch or overnight.
Any criteria. Every criteria.
Your lenovo is a skill issue but at least they can be fixed.
