Mac fag here. I bought a mac in my early high-school years and i've pretty much been stuck with it ever since due to me being a poorfag.
I used mac software all these years and often i had to forgo software designed for windows that i could never attain due to obvious reasons.
I noticed my computer had been getting slower and slower with the passing of each day and then the thought of installing windows on it crossed my mind.
I got boot camp to set up some HDD space to install windows 7 and i am running it right now.
My god-damn computer that i was thinking of throwing out is back to being factory new. This shit has never been so fast and on top of that it's now compatible with a whole lot of stuff.
I feel i just bought an actual computer. I would resent myself for buying into the mac hype from back in my school days and now i can atone for it with a bran new computer. I'm thinking of erasing the macOS partition now and i'm most likely going to do that in a few days.
Fucking macfags will never get to experience the smooth, hassle-free world that windows grant too. They are going to live their fucking lives out not being able to install a fucking network printer and having to reach for the cable every time they need to print. Fuck their shit, today is the day i am reborn as a new man, hear my logon sound, /g/!

It lets you delete the OS X partition?

i don't know i hope it does. If it won't i'll just make the macos partition so small it will be entirely forgettable and focus on the windows partition

I don't think you can mate. But yea that seems like the right thing make it so that there is only a few GBs in the OS X partition.

>comparing a years old install to a brand new install
OS X suffers from creep, like Windows. I've experienced it on my last Mac back on Snow Leopard. Years down the road you'd get the same experience moving from that aging Windows 7 install to OS X.

Not if you use only Boot Camp Assistant. But it will boot up fine if you delete everything but your Windows partitions, or throw in a brand new hard disk and install Windows on it directly without ever touching OS X.
On a ~2012 or newer Mac you can even boot the Windows installer in EFI mode and have a native EFI install of Windows, without using the Boot Camp BIOS compatibility layer.
Alas if you have a Mac with both Intel and Nvidia or ATI GPUs, it will only do the GPU switching thing in OS X (or Linux in EFI mode since somebody figured out how it tells the EFI that it's OS X). The dickheads lock out the Intel GPU unless the OS tells it that it's OS X, either to be lazy and not write a Windows driver for the switching hardware, or to make OS X look better on battery life.

I suppose you never considered reinstalling OS X because maybe, just maybe, you have a bunch of useless data lying around hogging up the computer's resources.
OS X is ew anyway.

Found your problem.

Quantity of data isn't it. Not OP but I have an oldish Mac with Snow Leopard and it takes forever to do certain tasks. My OS X drive has plenty of free space. Creating a new process takes time for some reason. CPU isn't high, disk isn't high, fan doesn't blow. I think it's a timeout of some sort it's waiting for.

Good lord anon, why are you browsing a technology board?

What are you even on about? File glut generally doesn't take up resources unless they're someplace like the desktop, where having hundreds of files will slow things down because of icon rendering and such.
