The thing about Apple is the userbase will always go up. That's because once you try an iPhone or Mac you're hooked for life. So its only natural that the /g/ userbase became more Apple-friendly as time went by as more and more /g/ users gave in and tried out that MacBook or iPhone at the Apple Store.

>>56525366
MacOS has always been strung together with emulation code, same with Windows. It's a legacy problem. Those OSes are designed for people and companies that write one program and never update it. I work at an appliance store -- our inventory, point-of-sales, and customer database are run on emulated code originally for Windows 95 that's accessed through a custom shell in a Win7 environment. It's a clusterfuck and crashes at least once a day. Business machines like this are often bogged down with so much legacy code that they're borderline unusable. A brand new i5 machine shouldn't chug while reading a locally stored inventory database, but here we are. What's worse was our previous printer's driver, which was some horrible emulated driver that frequently would crash the network.

If you want emulation to go away, you need to convince >1/3 of the business world to actually (a) update legacy code, or (b) migrate to a system like Linux where this is a controlled problem. But 9/10 of businesses are run by lazy shits or by penny pinchers, and we know they'll never do it.

The real reason is because the group of people that regularly browsed here when you were here have probably gotten jobs or better paying ones over the few years and can afford more expensive products so now after being able to try all platforms instead of just watching biased apple hate videos, they have a better opinion and realize that apple products really aren't all that bad. They're just expensive.

No one is trying to run 20-year-old unmodified BSD software on macOS. No one depends on OS 8 apps from 1998. Apple dropped Classic support a decade ago, and Carbon was deprecated back in 2012.

One of the most notable qualities that separates Apple from Microsoft is that Apple is not afraid to drop old technology when it becomes a detriment to the user experience.

Nice job trying to lump it with legacy Windows cruft, though.

>>56521192
Apple.

I just got an air because I got a good deal on it. It's my first mac ever, I've used self built windows desktops forever and I still do when I'm at home. I don't think I'd ever want mac os at a desktop but iOS and OSX are pretty nice for mobile devices if you don't want any fuss while you're on the go.

That's all I want in a mobile device, I want it to be light and small and not give me any trouble whatsoever, even if it means being in a so called walled garden. You gotta remember that almost everyone isnt a poweruser, most people just want to use their phone for snapping photos and use their laptop for browsing the web with no fuss. This is what (mobile) Apple devices exceed at for sure.

>>56525682
>even if it means being in a so called walled garden

except OSX isn't. it's more open than windows if you know how Nix works -- i.e. if you are an ACTUAL power user and not a poser like Windows users pretend to be despite the only "power user" activities they engage in is installing rootkit riddle cracks for games they downloaded off TPB

In the same boat with the airbook. I hate apple, but they can at least make a laptop that won't fall apart a year in.

Setting it up was a pain in the ass, however. Apple really wanted to get me using their cloud service, their email, their music player, etc.

Once I got all of their bullshit out of the way it makes for a pretty handy laptop.

>>56525759
>but they can at least make a laptop that won't fall apart a year in.

For sure, I know people who have 5 year old mac pros and they say they don't have any problems. Meanwhile every single friend I know and friend with a windows laptop is always coming to me for advise on how to fix and every windows laptop I've bought is a piece of shit within a few months and the build quality is garbage.

I know what you mean about the setup though, mine wasn't too bad since I already have an iphone so I use some of that shit.

I've always used latitudes for work and every one I've had has lasted 4-5+ years easy; only replaced them to get up to date hardware.

Got it, Linus

A lot of /g/ user base grew up. When you grow up not everything becomes about specs or games anymore and instead you gravitate towards higher quality products that aren't going to cause you any hassle, even if they come at a premium price. As more and more people on /g/ have grown up this attitude has naturally led them (myself included) to stray towards Apple products.

>>56526640
Or ThinkPads and Nvidia products.

Apple products are notorious for horrible build quality, laptops thermal throttling, overheating, screens imprinting, cables melting, cases bending. Its only gone downhill since Jobs left, the Pro line comes with fucking AMD now lmao.

Why can't we all accept computers are shitty and unreliable? Linux is easy to fuck up if you don't know what you're doing. Mac OS is walled garden shit for retards, and windows is somewhere in the middle missing a lot of customization, but also missing a lot of Walled garden it was great a few years ago but then it started pandering to touch screen cucks and the NSA. Still it's the OS with most software, and while Wine and react OS exist, their unreliable, slow, prices of shit. TL;DR all OS's are shit.

The difference is that X11 is being rapidly phased out while OS X's graphics stack is so fucking mangled and outdated that it is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to get 3D performance on par with Windows or even Linux with a properly supported GPU, even on the same hardware. And I mean all related software, not just vidya. Apple still refuses to address it.

Still good enough to play Candy Crush, though.

People are abandoning Windows, some are flocking to linux, some are to MacOS, mostly due to preferences and such.

MS have finally stepped over that thin line where people went "well.. i stick with windows for gaming"
