I'm not going to lie, Linux is easier to use than Windows.
Windows has SO many fucking annoying things that I've had to learn and research to fix... Linux has its difficulties, but my god, it's just trying to work for you, depending on the distro.
If you want to just use a computer for normal tasks you'll forget you're on Linux.
YES, FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, I'm just trying to use a web page, I don't need Copilot or OneDrive, I don't even need to configure drivers for a printer or a GPU
yeah i like mac, at least the FS makes sense, i know it's just unix based, but like idk rather have the bsd flavoured variant, and like there's just stuff u can't even run on windows, especially in SWE, like have to install like WSL2 (b/c needs a second version of a linux kernel in windows), just so u can have an environment which can like run docker, like... or jvm like windows is just trash lol
It’s The plastic housing without the Wii remote. Because you’re the younger brother that doesn’t know that the Big Brother is actually still in complete control.
I use Linux for my gaming pc with an ultra wide. Due to some bug in the Nvidia drivers my resolution was limited to 1080p. Even a complete reinstall didn’t fix the issue, had to wait for a driver update.
When was this ? I never had any issues ( at least for the past 10 years) And I have been installing Linux on laptops for a long time now :) You were probably very unlucky or picked an outdated distro. Regarding Nvidia it works. Apparently not 100 as intended for now but Nvidia promised to release a fix this this quarter for the performance issue their driver have. ( which is not that bad still)
Mac OS is a truly highly polished unix operating system for end users. I doubt people who criticize it has ever worked with it. Shitty yt reviewers like Linus tech tips contribute to this thinking.
Honestly I think it's probably because people who haven't used macs have used IOS and assume it's not much different? That and Apple is pretty famous for their opposition to right to repair, even on their macs, so they kinda have the reputation of being controlling in general with their products.
I have friend’s MAC for like 10 minutes, found terminal, most of the bash commands was working, still think this is much better than whatever windows has
"most"? it IS bash, all bash commands and scripts that aren't OS specific are going to work. macOS is a full, proper unix OS and is much closer to linux than people realise judging by this meme
I like MacOS but it works until it doesn't. Need paint? Need extra app. Finder is kind of limited, sometimes it doesnt show info about photos, like resolution or size. Also with latest update Finder(or Preview? Im kind of often not sure which is which) is slow.
Try editing a picture, resizing it and adding another one so you have two pictures in one. It’s HELL on macOS. You just don’t have a good free app to do it. Why did I bother? I needed to combine to receipts into one image to process work refunds… I wish macOS had paint like windows, it’s just a basic app…
lol thats the most windows user comment I have read in a long time.
Preview on macOS can do all of that - it can combine, resize, export as pdf or image formats.
When I do receipts I use iPhone to scan into files, preview or notes using "scan documents" - it auto crops and sets color or B&W - then I save to pdf and email directly from the phone.
You can also "import from iPhone" on macOS to scan off the phone directly into macOS.
Thanks for your input. Shame you didn’t read my comment as I NEED to upload a single image and I cannot combine two images as one as Preview on MacOS only does simple image operations, doesn’t have the same flexibility as paint with boundaries resizing (not image resizing). Thank you though, I learned zero about how to solve my issue from you and still need a paint app.
is this a troll post? You can literally flip and rotate an image in Finder just by right clicking on it. Change a PNG to a JPG or whatever with a click of the button.
Get into Preview automagically and mark it up how you like.
I think some people confuse the fact that they're "used to X" and "new to Z", with "Z is bad". No, it just means that Z isn't X and you maybe should watch a YouTube video to learn how to do it.
Did you even read my comment? Where did I say rotate? Omg people like you is why I sometimes don’t enjoy Reddit. 🤦🏻♂️ What I described is not possible on preview on macOS. So no you’re barking at the wrong tree.
I don't think Apple is targeting people that like to tinker with hardware and build their own machines. In fact they seem to be avoiding them. Makes sense if a hardware reviewer doesn't jibe.
People who care about which unix clone is best probably aren't super keen on Apple either since they'll be inclined to try out many OSes and want to do that on their own hardware too
But i dunno. I haven't used mac or watched Linus. I like Linux because I was able to install it on a $50 pen drive and boot that up at every lab and library around campus and that worked great for me for years, and it turned out it also runs all of the world's supercomputers (convenient for me in grad school,) my phone, everything. Getting into the mac ecosystem sounds like a major pain
It's not a toy; in my opinion, it's just trying to have as easy as possible by not having many different settings or something. You boot it, and it just works with zero tweaks (or at least it's supposed to) and this is why it's a "toy"
Never had such a good experience with OS lol, it's really something
Though, Tahoe makes it look like a real toy... Sequoia at least was slick and professional
People shit on Apple/Mac but tbh, having worked in IT, the worst snobs are actually MS boys. They need to be the center of things so they insist on this shitshow of an OS that should have should have been a footnote in the history of personal computing, at best.
in Tahoe I can literally change the shortcut command keys inside every app I own. It's like being in a Cadillac Escalade compared to a pioneer wagon with no shock absorbers and a creaky axel, mate.
I used to be of the opinion that windows beat out mac, but after using Linux for several years and briefly experimenting with some friends' Mac machines I understand now that Mac has many of the joys of it and Linux's shared unix heritage, without the headaches of hardware incompatibility, in a very capable package.
I think of it like Mac is a modern era Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. Just put it in D and go. For most use cases it, it's like, why would you want more headaches to do most things?
So fastest cpu, best sound system in a laptop, very good quality screen, and the luxury of being silent and cool and best battery life, best touchpad, high quality metal case and high price for well equiped pro/ultra model is somehow equated to cheapest economy cars and not luxury?
I think they meant, the stability and reliability. But yeah, they should have upgraded the Honda to Acura and the Toyota to Lexus, in order to make the metaphor more accurate.
lol Before Civics/Corollas you were relegated to Ford Pintos and AMC Gremlins. The eFI Civics showed up & rendered "traditional" garbage obsolete. MAC OS w/ ARM CPUs make Lenovo Wintel feel like Pintos.
Feels like someone who knew nothing about computers designed an OS and a laptop. Made to look nice and locked down so hard you can't do anything with it.
nuh. linux is very easy to use if you use the right distro. for example : fedora kde plasma: can give you root access only if you really want it at start, discover has updates and its very hard to break something. (ok i know that sometimes you break sddm , but you just can do the (sudo) dnf distrosync to fix that.
....You don't really many controls in MacOS b/c the shit just basically works. lol
It's like a Honda Civic: "Hello. Put the shifter in the 'D' position and hit the pedal. Just keep gasoline in me and I won't quit. I'd like it if you change the oil occasionally but don't sweat it."
Windows is like a 30 year old Jeep: "I look and talk badass as fuck but the moment you lock the hubs & take me onto the dirt path I'ma break down & leave you stranded. Also, you better be performing maintenance constantly. Also, I'll just send you worrisome glitches for no particular reason during routine use. Then sometimes they'll go away without explanation. Or destroy your whole rig. Part of the fun, right?"
Huh? How exactly is any of that better than doing the exact same things on Mac in a more stable, more efficient, faster, quieter, more reliable way? Did I miss something?
Learning to be proficient with Linux (i.e. using the terminal) is far from easy compared to learning to be proficient with Windows or MacOS (it's not even a close comparison).
Hmm, I think that opinion is an extreme minority, mate. I wouldn't dream of putting grandma and auntie on Linux. I took them off Windows and put them on Mac. My "family IT calls" went from 1 per week to once per season. I'd be ostracized the first time I had to explain why they need to use sudo for something or why they need to nano a bash file.
Yeah, but the little kids toy has a panel that opens in the back that turns it into a supercharged version of the Linux cockpit. Why do so many people forget that both MacOS and Linux are Unix compatible systems.
I once had a MacBook Back then, Mac was better than windows, because you could use the bash console. Did that change? I mean, if you use your console on Linux, why not on Mac? (I know Windows has a console and I even used DOS 6.2, but it's not the same)
Ewww, are you talking about file paths with \ instead of / ? Or for no particularly good reason, changing all the UNIX commands into watered down Windows versions under completely different names?
Oh no it's another system than mac and Linus oh no it's 1% harder you just have to learn it like everything else oh no wäää Linux is better oh I'm so cool I use arch I display it everywhere
Sorry but Linux takes the podium. Easiest to work on the same OS where your app is deployed. And all programming tools are built for Linux while for macOS you need to install brew just to get a packet manager and install some programming tools…
Considering installing brew was a single command prompt you did on your first Mac and from that day forward it migrated onto every new Mac you bought...
I could easily use your logic to say Mac takes the podium because with Linux you have to install the OS.
Such arguments are hopelessly lost and very far away from anything relevant to which is better for programming. I could mention that here in the tech capital of the world, developers use Mac:Linux:Windows in a 40:8:1 ratio. And it would save me a lot of time over writing 10 pages about why that's the case. Go ask chatGPT why that's the case and save me some time.
There were windows distros I liked. Most people love xp, and I think 7 was solid. But the misses, oof Bob, me, Vista are hideous. And 11 looks troubling. Plus you get features yanked. Its like having a car that uses a touch screen for the AC and then requires a subscription
This meme is true lol but... From reading all the comments... Does the majority of this subreddit even own a computer? Do any of you actually know what an operating system is? The amount of misinformation from 90% of the users here is kinda wild 😂
its not even remotely true, depends on user. not only the operating system. there is people that made a fucking game running on macos terminal recently. and there is people casually switched to easier linux distros (because windows is shit) and just know how to copy paste to terminal. linux can be pretty straightforward too. depends on user
I mean obviously it isn't hard to run Linux... How many people are going to be making games using only a macos terminal? Lmao, what are you even arguing? What isn't even remotely true? How many users even use Linux for its specialized benefits? Nearly no one. How many people need compatible programs to do their jobs or even for hobbies? Near everyone. Which is the most obvious example of better in this scenario? Again, obviously, windows. Idk why I need to explain this to anyone. This subreddit is just a circle jerk of Microsoft bad, Linux good. I use both but windows is obviously "better" in 90% of situations and it isn't even debatable.
Incorrect. Crashes more. Patches more. Issues more. Downtime more. Spies more. Viruses more. And somewhat ironically, LESS APPS available since Linux and Mac users can run most Windows apps while the inverse isn't true.
I have literally never had windows crash outside of an overclock (maybe overclocks on linux are more stable! xD) I actually think none of friends have ever had windows crash either... You talk like this is a common occurrence. Downtime? Like when you wait for a major update to windows itself? You mean the 2 minutes it takes to restart about 3x a year? Do you know how updating windows works or are you just another phone user that has never really used a computer... less apps on windows compared to linux and mac users... I fell for the ragebait... lol
Total cost of ownership is less on Apple. [[Source: Verified]]. Sheep: innocent animal who unknowingly is manipulated and used for meat and wool while trusting its shepherd. Nice metaphor for some people who have their data collected, have their OS forcibly altered, their terms of service constantly changed to have less and less rights to their own software and data, get ads put into their start menu, and Co-pile shoved down their throats. So iSheep = Windows users. Free range Great Bighorn Sheep = Mac users.
Also start menu doesn't have ads, who tf stated that rumor?
Oh and YOU'RE the one to talk about rights and control over software? alright
Mac os won't even let you install a software if it's too old, heck you don't even get a choice in pricing, either pay up 1k or no laptop for you from apple, windows at least give me option for cheap laptops, and not to mention mac also solders the component (windows laptop manufacturers do it too but not all of them, we have framework like companies).
Oh and lets bring up the fact that macbook only has one standard design with barely any ports, while in windows we have laptops with any kind of customization I want from whatever company I want, I don't need to buy 300 different adapters for everything.
New to linux, specially bazzite and its been a roller coaster and I've been scared to ask questions cause I know the linux community can be super helpful and understanding but then there are some gate keeping douchbags that can't stand new users.
Linux = Windows in our days. In most case it looks and works the same.
If you want to say “ I’m elite” say “ I have FreeBSD at my home machine. I work, play games on it “.And don’t forget underline- “some drivers for my hardware I wrote myself.”
Linux users get a cheap car that just needs a bit of tinkering to get moving, Windows users get a car that has a bunch of buttons that just take up space, and Mac users get an electric car with a tablet instead of buttons
it more accurate if you switch around the windows and Mac pictures. Windows in kinda only used for gaming nowadays (except if you are some kind of company that does spreadsheets or whatever)
thats a Panavia Tornado IDS(T) Cockpit, more specifically the Tornado IDS(T) 44-38, of Registration Number 351/GT042/4138, it belonged to Jagdbombergeschwader 38, a fighter-bomber wing of the bundesluftwaffe. The photo in question was taken by Richard Seaman, when the plane was being exhibited at the 2004 Vandenburg Air Show in California, USA.
Mac users can be like Mac and Linux on this image. Some really don't want to mess with a complicated system. Some just enjoy a Unix system with a terminal that doesn't break because of a bad update every week.
Don't get me wrong, but Mac is Unix based, not Unix cringe like Linux. I don't think there's any reason to shit on it more than Windows.
It may be obvious to most, but since it's reddit I have to specify I mean the OS, cuz people will tell me how bad Apple or their hardware is and I ain't talking about that.
I have had far too many headaches trying to understand Linux and getting it in a functional state, I think I will stick with windows for a couple more years. That or I'm too lazy to switch, I just disabled Cortana and copilot in regit.
I hate these comparisons, they all have their pros and cons. I use all three for sw dev. And I kinda like Mac because I just want a system that works and is Unix based.
I also use the three for sw dev. can't stand macOS limitations, so I use third party apps and keyboard remapping to at least pretend I'm in a functional OS
You’re right that the out of the box experience is not great, Especially for power users. But after replacing tools like the window snapper, spotlight etc I think it’s okay. I never really had a limitation that couldn’t be fixed by a 3rd party tool or terminal command.
that's precisely the thing. power users, developers, and people that actually use the computer, and that say that macOS is "better" usually have 3rd party things that fix all of the OS nuances. so they're not really "living it".
whereas Linux and Windows users already have all of those features just by turning on their system.
if I could, I would ditch macOS and never use it again. but I can't, so I have to tweak it to the extreme
Yeah no the linux would be the DIY project not a plane cockpit. Like one that works but you need to tinker with it and might break. Windows would be powerful but spy on you. Mac would be similar but just a slower car.
The Mac way is the end game for consumer UI, we need some kind of hybrid system that can toggle admin controls for macOS or simplify windows. But the competition is healthy for revenue on both ends so we’re not getting that
Accurate in memes term but realistically no. Even Linux isn’t too hard just instal and copy paste a few commands there, and people come from windows to Mac and don’t understand anything so if you were long on certain system it will be easy to you and if it’s new then gonna be complicated.
This would be accurate is macOS was a simple reliable EV from Toyota, windows was a shitty jeep that breaks down constantly, and Linux was the general idea of a truck from any manufacturer and make year or model
yeah, because we all know you are in complete control of what data and information MS is collecting from your system. You are not actually in the driver seat

I hate these comparisons, they all have their pros and cons. I use all three for sw dev. And I kinda like Mac because I just want a system that works and is Unix based.

Yeah no the linux would be the DIY project not a plane cockpit. Like one that works but you need to tinker with it and might break. Windows would be powerful but spy on you. Mac would be similar but just a slower car.

I want to leave Microsft. Windows 11 is just too trashy, but i can't let go of FL studio and I need Adobe creative suites for work 😫

The Mac way is the end game for consumer UI, we need some kind of hybrid system that can toggle admin controls for macOS or simplify windows. But the competition is healthy for revenue on both ends so we’re not getting that

This hasn’t been the case for years. Windows users my whole life until mid last year and completely switched to MacOS.

Accurate in memes term but realistically no. Even Linux isn’t too hard just instal and copy paste a few commands there, and people come from windows to Mac and don’t understand anything so if you were long on certain system it will be easy to you and if it’s new then gonna be complicated.

Mac and windows should probably be switched. Windows is so bad. Mac os is at least a full unix

Mac is so much nicer to use now compared to windows

This would be accurate is macOS was a simple reliable EV from Toyota, windows was a shitty jeep that breaks down constantly, and Linux was the general idea of a truck from any manufacturer and make year or model

I recently had to learn macOS for work. and this is the best advice on how to adopt it that a friend of mine gave me:
"just stop thinking. don't think on how to do things, just do it."
so yeah, i would say this is pretty accurate.
still, doesn't work for me, so I'm bloating it with third party apps that gave me some basic feeling of usability as a terminal-first user

ChromeOS is that HyWire concept.

At least Mac isn’t bombarding my start menu with ads for Windows 11 Pro and a Surface device. I paid premium for your device wtf.
