Look, this is still friendly OSX general whether you like it or not.
This Mac is over 13 years old. It runs the previous processor architecture but it also runs a dual processor configuration with a huge watercooling system. It's the nicest looking computer I've ever seen. I know I can go back and run all the classic OS 9 and OS X software but I don't know if that's enough to justify the purchase.

>>56576110
I wouldn't use a Mac that old for anything other than maybe a seedbox or light server. They do look nice though, I agree.

>>56576201
Look, mactoddlers will never belong on /g/ whether you like it or not. That mac is over 13 years old. It ran a toddlerOS and got crushed by fucking Prescott housefires and Athlon XPs. Macs are a joke, always have been, always will be.

Anyone else read that Ars Technica piece about OS 9? Makes me really want to get a cheap PowerMac G3 and mod the shit out of it.

>>56576213
From what I've seen they aren't horridly expensive anymore, like $100 shipped but they are certainly big and heavy. I'm not sure how well it will fare with GNU + Linux either, but I have a friend who got Debian to run on a G4 cube but the weird processor configuration in the G5 might be too much for it.

Ok serious question here.

Do you guys using mac keep using the command key?

If I switch Ctrl and Command keys, then switching app windows (alt-tab) is painful.

What do? I use mac at work.

>Toddler toy

If you would give a toddler a toy with as many retardations, inconsistencies, idiosyncacies, fuck-yous, random nigh-unreproducible bugs and crashes, half-finished features (folder merging), and hidden "tricks" as OS X you would be a major league asshole. The most intuitive and thoroughly documented part of the OS is the UNIX shell.

If a normei asked me for an easy to use computer I'd hand them debian with fucking XFCE

>>56576496

How did they make Spotlight so good in OSX? When I was switching over from Windows, I couldn't believe how many relevant results came up, and how fast they showed up. In Windows 10 I would search for a program by name I knew I had installed, and no results would pop up. In OSX it doesn't matter if it's on my local machine or on an offsite server, it can find files faster than anything I've used on a different platform.

Apart from PiP, which is nice but would be nicer without the huge forced border around video, I don't notice any difference at all with Sierra.

Unfortunately, my boot SSD failed but Samsung replaced it. My problem is that I can't seem to find the files needed to get up and running again.

It is a feature for the common man, someone who is hardworking and has a nice family. They have honest work and just can't spend time mastering computers. Now, compare that to you — a basement dwelling neckbeard that hates Apple for no reason. Face it, not everybody wants to be a neckbeard linux user.

Full disclosure here: I'm an avid Linux user who uses a tiling WM, so I have no need for a mouse. But when I'm gaming or doing normal person adtivities, I have to use a mouse. I boot up my hackintosh for schoolwork, and use Linux for autismwork.

Look, I'll take your bait because that's all you've wanted this whole time. Do you want to talk about an on-rails experience? Let's talk about how in Windows the command line is a joke. Let's talk about how you can't dual boot Windows and Linux. Let's talk about how Windows uses telemetry and keyloggers to spy on you. Let's talk about how installing libraries for programming is a mess. Let's talk about how Windows is a hackjob of a skin for MS-DOS. Let's talk about how hardware manufacturers will install shitty software to make an extra buck. Let's talk about how Windows laptops never hold value because there are literally millions of them made of plastic and low end CPUs. I never saw a computer lab with Macs when I was in elementary school. We had Windows 95 PCs because they were cheap and disposable. I wasn't even aware of Mac computers existing until I was in college. A MacBook Pro got me through Grad school. (You) can shitpost all you want but at the end a lot of people like to use Macs. You don't have to pretend you know everything about computing for the sake of a shitpost. I don't think you've ever even used Arch or written a line of Java, and that's okay! That's the point of OS X. It's just like a hard to use Unix operating system with a fuckton of ease of use features built in. If you've ever had to fight with X11 on Linux you know exactly what I'm talking about. OS X uses X11, but it's all configured so it's not a huge pain in the ass to work with. If you want to go into xorg.conf, you can, but you don't have to if all you need is to get things working.

Anyway I'll be excited when this thread gets archived or pruned and we can start over with actual conversation on Sierra features, speculation on future hardware, and the unbeatable aesthetic Apple has built over the past two decades. Maybe one day we can even cure your brain and you can finally learn to post on /g/ without your autism leaking all over your keyboard.

So how does the battery life, form factor, and weight compare? If you're not factoring this in then why the fuck do you use or care about laptops at all?

So i cant upgrade mac pro from 2008 to El Sierra even i upgrade hardware?

Could someone run me through the basic gist of the new "MacOS". It comes out on September 20th (I think), but I'm not sure if there is any point in upgrading to it or not. I'm using a 2013 Macbook Pro, which has shit specs, but still works fairly well.

>>56577496

>>56577503
Most of the changes are internal, like using SSE4.1.

>>56577492
>battery life, form factor, and weight
Unlike mactoddlers, most professional use of laptops involve actually using them, and not how long you can hole up in a Starbucks sipping mochahino frappes and then carry that massive heavy 3-5lb laptop home without breaking your limp dick pencil arms.

>>56577496

>>56577535

>>56577529
Your argument is that "professionals" use laptops by not actually using them as laptops? My speaking suspicion that you're only a desktop user keeps escalating

>>56575896
I bought a Mac so I could test wireshark source code bug builds on it, along with all my other PCs (Windows, Linux, Solaris, etc.). Don't be an asshole. I am happy to see a sticky for OS X !

If I were you I wouldn't upgrade.

I always wonder what brings people to act like this. Like, are they like this in real life? Surely, they're just using the same regurgitated behavior they've seen others post endlessly in the past and they're just parroting that.

Anyone I know who is actually in tech and isn't a sys admin, tech support, or other low-rung position, uses a mac. I don't, and don't see the point for my use case, but it's pretty ubiquitous across these professionals. I think these guys have too much shit to worry about for their job and thus don't want to fuck around with their OS. Thus, OSX gives them enough Linux-like features while knowing that they'll get good battery life, a good mousepad, and it will perform well. Really, the only other thing I've seen one of them get interested in is the Surface Pro 4, but he just uses it almost like a non-gaming desktop with a touch interface as a secondary monitor. The macbook is what he actually carries.

Great argument m8. Seriously though, the whole mouse acceleration "issue" is just some random autistic thing that neckbeards pick to whine about OS X. I don't know anybody real that ever complained about it, it's just an exclusive /g/ thing. Just like glossy screens. Anybody who has ever used a monitor against a window knows that matte screens suck just as much if not even more in difficult light situations.

It's kind of true though. In my department (physics) almost everybody privately owns and uses a macbook, the computers provided are also mac minis. Some people use some Linux on their macs, but literally not a single person except one or two undergrads use Windows.

>>56577993
So you think someone who is technology literate actually wants to waste their time putting more work into something than they need to? If this is your argument then Linux users are literate but they're certainly not intelligent. You probably think being book-smart is a positive trait.

Use what you want at home kiddo, clearly you're not spending anytime socializing, but at work you need to get shit done or get the fuck out.

2015 rMBP. After ~15 years of using Windows machines it was like a breath of fresh air. In the year I've owned it it's been completely flawless, I've dealt with no major and hardly and minor annoyances. The biggest change is how I would gradually watch all of my old laptops and computers slowly become more and more bug ridden and slow. This thing still performs exactly like it did on day one. Fuck you, Windows.

Hey, /g/, what's the best way to get a decent deal on a MacBook? I wouldn't have gotten a Mac before I gotten a decent Windows rig built but now that my desktop is purring like a kitten, I want to get a Macbook in the next year.

Smartest way to shop for Mac?

>>56580744
if you've gone for jewtel and nvidia goyforce chances are you can upgrade your rig into a hackintosh.
Smartest way would to get it refurbished or pray your uni has discounts. My desktop I built for music production is so powerful that buying a mbp would be a waste.

Funny thing was, when I started my rig, it was going to be a Hackintosh, but at the last minute I stopped and got Windows for games and because if I was going to mess around with weird glitches, I would go back to being a Linux faggot.

I was considering refurbs, but I really don't like refurbs, it's a bit irrational really.

>>56576302
Any fucking day (not the guy you >>ed).
I have to work with a mac currently and it's so bad. The second display is recognized about 30% of the time, needing to reboot until it works, it frequently freezes xcode, browser or the whole OS, some complete crashes here and there, Visual bugs (flickering of a single window) multiple times a day and overall crawling performance. Not to talk about inconsistencies in ui design (seriously guys, the way Apple handles window dividers is abominable, and I'm studying ui engineering)
Its the buggiest, most unstable OS on the market.

You could always do that. If you are referring to cut/paste which many windows users are confused about, it has also always existed, only you do it with ⌘+C (Copy) & ⌘+alt+V (Move)

I don't understand. Why wouldn't you be able to use two buttons?

side buttons are useful

It really is a display piece unless you install Linux, even then PPC support is quickly going away. If you go with a 1st Gen Intel Mac Pro, you get more functionality. Also G5s have a low survival rate due to the G5 being a space heater of it's own...and they packed up to 4 in one case.
