Macos as King deeply offends me in a way I didn’t think possible.
That’s just some dude that bought a crown.
An overly expensive crown.
Should be SunOS
Although Windows doesn’t fit at all. Windows NT was based on VMS which came from RSX-11. Rsx-11 was the OS running on the Pdp-11 on which Unix was written.
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?
Okay but I use both
You must wash your hands often.
True. Mac users couldn’t handle that much glory on their hands.
What if I use both 🙃
You can’t, constantly washing 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.
Just a joke bro
Coming from windows xp was the bomb and used 7 for 6 years
I know, nothing wrong with the joke per se, it’s just the repetitiveness of the shitting on Windows thing. Lately I’ve been thinking of unsubbing to these communities because of it.
Windows gets in the news almost daily with new ways they made their product worse. Of course people are shitting on them, it’s still as relevant as years ago.
Absolutely this. If everyone just used their preferred OS and got along doing computer things, that’d be great. But when biggie-techs like M$ are constantly deciding to make stonks-money-fueled, idiotic waves that forcibly affect practically everyone who uses a computer at all, (like a dedicated “AI button” on keyboards. Or announcing they’ll suddenly just paperweight WMR (VR) devices whenever they feel like it, or the whole “Windows 11 makes a bunch of recent hardware incompatible” thing, or Bing shenanigans…), it draws plenty of justified ire.
I grew up with Windows and loved it until later versions began getting more and more “user-hostile”.
As its your choice but the collective decision by Microsoft is not helping
For sure, but it’s to be expected from a listed company. The only product is investor sentiment.
True that’s why criticize it
Every day, all the time everywhere, to the point where Linux users become insufferable? Yeah…
True but if you allow everyone a chance to criticize it Caz its out of love for windows from what it was and now what’s it becoming
This one also shits on Mac, so it’s a little different. That and the more bad speak about Windows, the better.
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.
Soap is an effective sanitizer
I prefer Rest or Corba.
you gonna need some bleach for REST though
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.
I think Darwin is still open source, and WebKit is still open source.
Mac is part the OS, part walled garden experience, and part overpriced, less-upgradable hardware. Plus an overall design approach that values simplicity over configurability while I prefer the opposite.
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
First time I’m seeing it.
Welcome to the Internet
Me too thanks
And my axe?
Have a look around
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
This video at this link does not play and frankly I find it baffling that so many people and bots keep pushing a platform that flat out doesn’t work. It doesn’t. Piped doesn’t work at fucking all. Can we give it a rest already?
Tldr: shitty bot
I use both, which is why I never touch myself🧐
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 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.
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 think they won’t implement the linux driver because that means they will need to put their driver code in the kernel, hence needing to open source their driver.
My current and all-time favorite laptop is an older MacBook Air (Intel) running Arch Linux. The quality of Apple hardware combined with Linux is unbeatable. I can’t wait until we get a reliable Linux distro that runs on Apple silicon.
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…
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.
Eh, the anti-Mac copy has been out of date for years now. Heck you can score an M1 for $300 — so I don’t even buy the “expensive” stuff anymore.
Yeah, for me it’s Linux -> Windows -> macOS
For me it’s just Linux is better than Windows. Mac isn’t even a consideration.
You can be certain those Mac users are doing the same since they don’t want to be associated with you nerds.
Lol wtf. I use Mac dude
Even implying mac is better is utter lunacy. I feel like Linux users are seriously out of touch sometimes.
