Why isn't there any laptop OS that isn't shit in one

>Did Microsofts Apple-like approach pay off with the Surface line?
No and Microsoft is dying with desktops

Laptops are shit.

I'm not talking about sales, I'm talking about if it made Windows suck less donkey dick to use since they have more control over the software and hardware integration

>>57599643
True, but some of us aren't NEETs and actually need them

I use OS X as my main OS on my laptops. I run OS X on 3 Thinkpads. You can install OS X on non-Apple hardware through hackintosh and clover/chameleon bootloaders. OS X is actually really nice if you're only interested in normie/office stuff or simple web/iOS dev. For everything else I keep Windows and Debian in VMs. Get a Thinkpad T420. It's the easiest to install OS X on. Or just buy a used Mac. The 2015 MBP isn't too bad if you have $700.

I recently replaced my 2011 Macbook Pro with an X230 and I've been thinking about putting OSX on it but I've hard that things like Wifi doesn't work and you have to use a USB dongle.

I'm going to see if I can install OSX on this when I upgrade to an SSD because right now I can barely run Windows on this.

Hopefully I can end up with dual booting OSX and Windows if I want to play vidya and run Linux in a VM if I ever need it.

Just replace the wireless card with one that will work with OS X if yours doesn't work. There are also kernel extensions that you can use as a fix for some issues like that.

>No software support
Kill yourself

Try hackintosh

Linux has plenty of great software you are just too lazy to take five minutes to google search and read the documentation.

>>57601417
Great =/= industry standard, sounds like you're the one who needs to take 5 minutes to Google and learn how to read

No one with any basic software related technology knowledge would ask such a question.
It's the perfect example of the stereotypical v poster asking a question on here. A thread about actual technology died for this.

>>57601739
Ok

>>57599575
What kind of software do you need on your laptop, goy?

>>57601417
did plenty of googling and installed what everyone said is the best music recording software on Linux (ardour) and it's actually pretty shit

>>57602533
Mainly Ableton Live, Premiere, Photoshop and Lightroom

The only good laptops for sale are the Macbook Pro, XPS13, and Chromebook Pixel 2. That's it. XPS13 and Pixel are at a disadvantage for not having macOS and doing hackintosh on a laptop is pants on head retarded.

>>57602573
all

>>57602558
Bitwig is on Linux but I still prefer Ableton Live

What do you get out of shitposting that doesn't even involve dressing as a cute girl?

>>57602673
What part of that was shitposting? Because you don't agree with it?

>>57599575
You're absolutely right, and you know what? We have nobody to blame but ourselves.

What are we to do when we find ourselves in a situation where nothing is good enough?

I thought the answer was to either create something new, support the option with the best _potential_, or at the very least not get in the way while other people try to solve the problem for me.

But apparently, according to 12yr old winfags, the correct behavior is to relish the fact that your PC can play gaem while someone else's can't and conclude that you're using the best OS while posting smug reaction images. Or make fun of the people trying to solve the issues for being "autistic" while them and their friends throw money and developers saying they're happy with the OS they have.

If everyone switched to Linux 5 years ago it would have all the games and software you want today.

>Windows doesn't even have things like proper Bluetooth support
The fuck? I use Bluetooth everyday without an issue

I have to repair my headphones every time I reboot my PC, it even works better on Linux for me
