How do you enjoy the OS without all the nifty gestures and such?

It's a Macbook Pro. Where did you get the idea that it was a hackintosh?

Is this the default terminal + tmux or something else?

You keep assuming I'm a mexican, but that's not surprising coming from someone that suffered the american education system (also you vote for Trump which shows you probably didn't went to college either). The worst thing is that you assume your Dear Leader will win, which shows that besides being a loser you're also pretty retarded.

But the 2015 model is old, too, it costs more and it's basically not worth it because the new laptops should be coming out in a month or two. I need it by October 1st so I can't wait much.

Literally the only thing I dislike about OS X. Thankfully, terminal doesn't have this problem.

>>56645322
I'd pay the price of a new product for something that's going to be replaced in less than 2 months.

I don't really have anything against Macs in general, but I simply don't see any purpose in buying one. The hardware isn't very good for the price, and I don't want to have to mess around with everything to get a tiling WM when I can just get one more simply in Linux.

In general I just don't find the hardware or the software appealing in any way.

>>56642190
osx might be the best OS ever made. been using it since 2008 but now apple's laptops fucking suck for proffesional use. +2000 for a generic high performance computer ffs. last good apple laptop was mid2012-nonretina-mbp.

still, osx is a fucking beauty

>>56645432
Objectively a stacking WM is better than tiling. Plus OS X has some specific proprietary applications which often even have no alternatives on Linux.

>>56645476
i3 offers stacking, too. Of course, there's more software for Macs but I don't really need it for my coding.

I'm just interested to see if anyone can convince me to buy a Mac.

>>56645494
buy a good condition second hand one if u want a daily thing to use. the ergonomics on the hw and the design on that os are next level. (im using linux btw)

>>56645494
1. mac pro is very small yet powerful
2. macbooks are thin and light, and Retina screen is nice.
3. you can just install linux there
4. Launchd > systemd
5. Quartz > X11+WM+Compositor

>>56642849

>>56645520
I can't comment on the last two and I agree I can install Linux.

As for the Mac Pro, it's a powerful computer but it really has aged and you can definitely get something better for much less now. I have no use for a laptop as I have both a desktop to woke with at home and one at work. The hardware price/performance is here too, as you can likely find a lower cost Ultrabook with similar performance. I don't like using track pads much but I have used one on a Mac and it is quite nice to use.

You should be able to downgrade on a 2012, have you actually tried?

>>56645614
Seems interesting, I'll look into it, thanks.

>>56645629
>>56645626
Would you reccomend it? El Capitan worked fine, HDD slow as shit but i can change it later. Siri lags a little on Sierra but the rest of the stuff it's alright

>>56645322
Kaby Lake is out now. Broadwell is 2 Intel Generations old and Apple is selling it as current.

>>56645661
change the hdd to a ssd and that will be it. i still run mavericks tho, i dont use siri nor any of those new things but u dont lose anything by using the latest os, maybe software compability but its been long enough.

>>56645661
also if u change the hdd to sdd youll have to install osx again anyways so pick what u want

>>56645661
In my opinion every os past Lion benefits from an SSD so i suggest you to install SSD and install Mavericks or Sierra OR install Snow Leopard (that could be possible)

it's one of the most liberating experiences in my life. If only I had more time I'd switch to Linux at home as well, but my hackintosh runs too good to ruin it.

>>56645808
i have the same mbp u have i upgraded it to 8gb ram and 500gb ssd and it runs like its on speed. ram is not a priority but if u get round changing the hdd, just do everything at the same time innit?

>>56645886

I tried to use all Windows versions from 8 til 10 with all the latest updates and I agree with you wholeheartedly.

>>56645917

Not the anon you replied to, but I use my 15" rMBP hooked up to a KB and trackball most of the time. Gestures are cool but honestly the OS is just as usable without them if you set up extra mouse buttons, hotkeys, hotcorners, etc.

I've been using OS X since version 10.0 and up to 10.8 or 10.9 on desktops exclusively, though, so gestures still seem somewhat newfangled and optional to me.

>>56651901
not really, it's not a clean install tho. I just enrolled my MBP on the apple beta program so the Sierra shows up on the mac app store.

Altho there were times I tried to do a clean installation of beta OS X versions and gave me errors, turns out the upgraded RAM was the problem, so I put the original RAM it came with while installing, and then put the new RAM back in once the install finished.

>>56651831
You don't have to pay for that option, just drop this in the terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
killall Finder

If this is something you toggle frequently, it's trivial to make this a context menu item or button in the Finder using Automator or Xcode. You don't need to pay a dime.

The reason this option isn't shown by default is to prevent those cases you hear about grandma and Joe the Mechanic deleting this funny folder called "System" because it was taking up so much space. Users who know what the fuck they're doing figure out how to get the functionality they want in .001 microseconds. Essentially, the UI acts as a technical ignorance filter that keeps power in the hands of those who can handle it.

>>56652015
>I just enrolled my MBP on the apple beta program so the Sierra shows up on the mac app store
That's what I did too.
It starts installing fine but after a while it stops and boots into recovery and shows me a crash log.

>turns out the upgraded RAM was the problem
Hm, I have upgraded memory in mine too. Maybe I'll try putting in the original sticks. Thanks.

How about doing it like Windows (TrustedInstaller) or Linux (have to do it via terminal with sudo)?

>>56642190
What is the fucking point of that huge green banner at the top?

>>56652127
>to do it frequently you have to download Xcode (8+ GB)
You don't have to, that's simply an option. You can also use Automator or Applescript (bundled with the OS) or even a shell script.

>How about doing it like Windows (TrustedInstaller) or Linux (have to do it via terminal with sudo)?
Having it in the UI anywhere lowers the bar to entry and makes it less "scary". If you're forced to do it through the terminal it very clearly signals a need of a reasonable level of technical knowledge.

OS X already require sudo and the terminal to delete important things. Keeping hidden files out of reach from muggles is a second layer of defense.

It's an example of things carrying back from history -- the original macintosh didn't have folder merge, and that's understandable - in 1984, people weren't experienced with GUIs, but when OS X came the developers decided to keep it there

I'm not sure that's any kind of valid indicator. Microsoft has repeatedly proven its incapability in the field of consumer-facing UI, and there's not lack of horror stories about people fucking up their Windows install doing stupid shit.

FTFY. Between the latest generation that grew up on rubberroom web apps and old farts who only picked up computing past their 40s and 90s kids that just didn't give a fuck about computers until they became "normal", very few people have any appreciable level of technical capability.
