>>55994435
The point is that it's not one program that looks good. It's that every program feels the same and looks unified. The settings menu on ubuntu-likes is one of rare things that linux community done right, but install a music player or a video/picture editor for example and it'll look barely like the rest of os.

If you want tot play windows is the ONLY correct answer.

>>55994516
Well for starters the fact that it is BSD really limits the amount of devices that can connect to it no problem.

I have heard many tech channels saying el capitan can really fuck up the filesystem.And that sometimes people expect that with a new release and that is just unacceptable.

Even if you want it for video editing for the same money you could get a PC that renders videos much faster.

System tools like the partitioning tool on mac is horrible and has small support for filesystems.(linux user here btw)

Gaming is better on other platforms and even linux.

The default filesystem it uses is horrible(why can't OSes other than linux adopt ext4 , zfs and btrfs again?)

It's not a preference app, it's System settings. It has multiple categories and they all have a title.

Also scrollbars, icons and practically everything can be changed. Here's what mine looks like. It's so easy to change them that even an Apple user would be able to do that, even though they aren't used to the freedom of choise.

One of the reasons for making the window taller is that users could remember the exact position of a setting.

>>55994648
It's better to have 1 good theme than a million bad ones. The title bar still looks wrong, but now that's because of text size and color.

Goes both ways. Mactards never give arguments as to why their os is good and not shit. Apart from the "it looks good", which it doesn't, and the "it just werks", which it does no more than competitors.

You should try GNOME, a lot of people hate it because they removed features but they have a consistent design (At least for apps built for it like Corebird, Vaccine 4chan client and FeedReader)

OSX is an acquired taste. Like a flat chested girls, with short hair, a tight core, pretty good muscles all around really, a strong jawline, and a colossal penis.

It's fine if you like that. That's ok. It's really no business of mine. Just don't expect me to like it too.

>>55994723
Not him but for one it doesn't use the corners of the screen, which is retarded on a mouse driven interface. And all because they want to make it look superficially like the first iteration of Mac OS.
Speaking of mouse driven there's a ton of mouse acceleration making it awful to use with a mouse on a desktop.
Zero useful options in context menu because it tries to appear simple, in the end you have to do command + click and other bs just to change the audio output device from the volume icon.
Finder can at least be customized and functionality can be added to it, but by default it's less useful than an android file browser.
No real maximize option just a make bigger button, at least they added window tiling finally (they did, right?). Macfags always argue it's a windows thing and OS X doesn't need it but the same was said of all other features OS X borrowed.
Can't even change the colorspace from full to limited RGB to my TV connected via HDMI (which I can on Windows and Linux), so I can't really use the TV, (I've mentioned this before, Macfags think I'm talking about ICC profiles)
Last time I tried it the dock didn't have intelligent hiding like it does in linux, which is again one of those things that make you wonder why are they being such cunts and not giving users any options.

>>55994723
The dock is a hugh waste of space and why the fuck would anyone wants to separate the setting from the program?
a burger menu directly on the program's gui is by far a better idea.
I have always thought that docks are a bad idea, I prefer the gnome 2 style with a modern theme and good keyboard shortcuts.

>>55994723
I drank some kombucha earlier and feel like I'm teetering on the peripheries of some kind of migraine.

If you want explanation, indicate the mental investment will be worthwhile in your next post. I very likely have nothing to gain either way, but I will waste time on you.

>>55994860
I know about the gnome 3's design, I kinda like it, but GNOME doesn't have every app or a replacement app in their style. In OS X, every single app looks and behaves the same.
>>55994865
>Not him but for one it doesn't use the corners of the screen, which is retarded on a mouse driven interface. And all because they want to make it look superficially like the first iteration of Mac OS.
OS X does use corners? Apple menu and notification center are in corners.
>Speaking of mouse driven there's a ton of mouse acceleration making it awful to use with a mouse on a desktop.
Disable it.
>Zero useful options in context menu because it tries to appear simple, in the end you have to do command + click and other bs just to change the audio output device from the volume icon.
Keyboard shortcuts are faster anyways. I guess I agree
>No real maximize option just a make bigger button, at least they added window tiling finally (they did, right?). Macfags always argue it's a windows thing and OS X doesn't need it but the same was said of all other features OS X borrowed.

You can, there are scripts for this

>>55994425
Fuck off Daniel

>>55994936
Windows uses all 4 corners, this is a basic concept in UI design. OS X only uses the top corners. As well as don't move buttons around, which happens on a dock that grows and shrinks.
Keyboard shortcuts are nice, but it doesn't have to be one or the other and OS X doesn't give you any options if you use it mainly with a mouse.
OS X is supposed to be easy, why should I have to use a script to change something for which there obviously should have been an option in the UI.

Worst case it takes 4 left clicks to change the audio output on a Mac. Best case 3 left clicks.
It always takes 4 clicks (1 right, 3 left) on Windows.

That's something entirely different from settings.
The Menus aren't attached to windows because it saves space, and they'll always be found in the same location. Downsides are that you'd have to move the mouse more if you don't know shortcuts and that you don't see the Menus for Apps/Programs that aren't focussed.

I'm tired of shit like this on /g/. You're correct - OS doesn't HAVE to look nice for any reason.

What you faggots don't understand is the importance of UX/UI. Yes, you can have your leet terminal no borders shit and it works for you just fine, but most people don't want to fuck with any of that and just want a consistent and nice looking experience.

Having a modern OS look like >>55996201 ANYWHERE is ridiculous. It shows lack of effort and care on the part of the company. Equal emphasis should be put on design and functionality.

True, Apple may employ faggots, but at least they aren't fucking blind when it comes to UX/UI.

>>55997155

>alt tabbing is bad
how? cmd+tab to switch between programs, cmd+` to switch between windows of same program, even a trackpad gesture to hide all windows besides ones belonging to currently selected program

true, double clicking status bar doesn't maximize to screen width+height. easily fixed by spectacle

keep going? sounds more like you either don't use a mac or never learned how to use one properly

>>55997155
>you probably never used 8.1 or 10 snapping, you'd know why they do indeed have issues
You do know it's not window snapping on Mac right? It's Split-Screen apps, they get a seperate desktop dedicated.
>alt tabbing is bad, windows maximization is random and you can't actually maximize them without meme full screen mode
You have more options than just alt tabbing, you can command tab between apps and also tab between windows within the active app. The random maximize issue is only related to Safari since Safari adjusts itself first for the best way of displaying the content on the page. To maximize use option+clicking on the green window button.

It just comes down to ignorant hate.

>>55997210
>how?
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/112350/cmdtab-does-not-work-on-hidden-or-minimized-windows
>easily fixed by spectacle
maximization with it was buggy too, are you just pretending that this program works good?

these are more subjective:
uses slow animations and makes os feel slow, if animations can bee disable then it's fine
dock takes too much place, if hidden it takes too much time to reaper

I mean, Windows 10 and most of the "full-fat" DEs available for Linux are quite nice. However, I think that Apple focuses very heavily on a UI that has a high level of consistency throughout the entire OS.

I wouldn't say that every OS is ugly, but OS X definitely stands out as a very nice looking environment to work in.

>>55997286
>It's Split-Screen apps, they get a seperate desktop dedicated.
like i've said before >>55997065

>>55997300
Animations are pretty fast to be honest, unless you hold down shift. They can also be reduced with enabling an option in Accessibility. The reason why cmd-tab doesn't work on inactive windows is because cmd-tab is for between tabs, not windows. I made my dock really tiny, takes nearly no space. It might feel slow to reappear because you have to be near the border of the screen and then drag against the border again, if you get this down you can get it up fairly quickly.

>>55997320
How is that not comfortable? By the way Sierra has subtle window snapping against the screen sides/edges and windows sides/edges if you drag/scale the window slowly without holding command.

>>55997370
Not the guy, but split-screen is fucking horrible in OS X. It rarely works without glitches and I just don't fucking get why they didn't turn this into a full window organiser. No, now we can only put two apps in split-screen, not three or four, no TWO. Fuck those idiots. They could have turned this into something really nice, but they chose not to.

Fortunately there is BetterTouchTool, which is pretty nice.

You really have a point there, OS X's window management is pretty stupid. But there are tools to fix it, so not a huge deal.

>>55993706
oh so that's why all linux DEs have that shitty control panel. They looked at the OS X one and thought it was a good idea.

It of course is not. Fucking Win7 control panel with small icons is better.

Let me point out what is mac UI in your settings.

>Desktop
stolen from Wallpaper and Screensaver in System Preferences on OS X Snow Leopard
>Preferred Applications
Stolen from the Applications icon from OS X Leopard
>Window Manager Tweaks
Stolen from Quartz Composer
>Language Support
Stolen from Language & Region in System Preferences on Mac OS X
>Orage preferences
Stolen from iCal/Calendar icon from Mac OS X

You may say you don't like the fisher price style but you're literally using it yourself, only the outdated versions.

He said the new Mac UI, you fool. The image he posted obviously implies he prefers the old look -- and emphasizing that he had the choice to use it.

>>56001180
The 'new' UI is very reminiscent of the old, it's a little more flat, but it's more or less the same. Saying that it's completely different will make everyone think you're blind.

>>55993706

>>55995861
>because it saves space
It obfuscates what's going on for an extra 20px on the actual application's windows, but if you actually cared about space, why do you have an assortment of 42x42 icons on a massive bar attached to the bottom of your screen?

>>55998907
Yep. The lettering and the horizontal rules are grey because they're supposed to give a feeling of being embedded into the window itself. Grey on white is objectively more readable than white on grey.

They never said Mac OS X cares absolutely about saving space no matter what. They explained the reason for why the menu is disconnected from the window. Ubuntu and menu other Linux distros do that by default too.

It's a sound idea and there's nothing wrong with it.

You know what a funny addition to this is. In order to find the program's settings/options, you have to look around in these menus on Windows, since there's no [insert app name here] menu. For every other program its somewhere different, always annoyed me.

Everything is way too big and there are too many different colors. 5/10

>>56001404
You're clearly too stupid to reply properly, so be glad I noticed your shitpost.

>They never said Mac OS X cares absolutely about saving space no matter what.
Hence why I gave a reason why it's bad aside from saving space, then illustrated why that stupid useless bar isn't a good design idea and conflicts with his first point. If you wanted to save space, put the application launcher's icons within the stupid taskbar.

>Ubuntu and menu other Linux distros do that by default too.
Speak English. I don't like Ubuntu either. I use a tiling WM because it has the most potential to look good after work has been done. By default, I prefer the look of KDE Plasma 5 to anything else, but everything, no matter what it is, on all Operating Systems, looks mediocre at best by default.

>>56001538
Another addition, in Windows 10, when you have an inactive window, the top bar of it is white, the same as the menu bar in it, so you never know where you can click to immediately drag it around.

>>55993706
Form over Function

>>56001600
uh no the window menus (which are almost nonexistent at this point anyway) are a grey color different from the white...

>>56001506
Still too much space taken up. I used to use MacOS X a while back. I was around for the switch from Maverick's autistic skeuomorphism to Yosemite's autistic eye-gouging colors. I was only able to stand it by auto-hiding it, and then I just never used the bar anyways since it's garbage. Hell, I never used any of the window manager's GUI in Mac OS 10 other than clicking and dragging shit around the screen. Keyboard shortcuts are somehow easier.

>>56001538
MacOS 10 is filled to the brim with usability issues.
>>56001600
How horrifying. Don't the Window Decorations in Windows 10 blend into the windows themselves now?

>>56001620

When is the last time you used a modern Linux OS?

KDE 5 is gorgeous and so is GNOME 3.
Unity is disgusting but useful (Ubuntu HUD is GOAT) and Cinnamon is a Windows reboot so it's not that attractive.

I'd take a Linux distro over OSX, soz babes

>>55993706
The beauty of GNU/Linux is that it's never ugly. What looks good is different for all of us. With GNU/Linux you can make it look any way you want. Takes minimal effort to install themes and icon packs in something like Unity, KDE, or Gnome so that you're not wasting all your time ricing. Macs are much harder to tweak and theme. Windows is only slightly easier but rain meter and windows blinds are fucking shit.

How good an operating system looks is really not that important. What's important is that it runs the programs you need to run and gets out of the way while you get your work done. There is really no good reason for this thread to be reposted every day or go to 200+ replies.
