Putting Linux on a used Macbook Air I bought taught me one thing about my first experience with Mac OS in a long time which is: never, ever, ever use it. Ever.

Well I learned about both their hardware (the nightmare of their locked down UEFI/BIOS) - which has come a long way now, thanks to a lawsuit they lost and about MacOS with the joys of Apple ID (their keys to your soul).

Those two things alone are all I needed to know to never want to learn more or use it again.

>>58252767
Macs from the 2000s only had one fucking button...you had to hold control and click to simulate a right click.

Apple very literally thought more than 1 button would confuse its customers. This didn't change until the wired mouse with the mini trackball on it (which technically had 0 buttons) and the went to gestures with the magic mouse (also no buttons).

Mind you, you could always just buy almost any other mouse (like we all do anyway) but Macs came standard with really awful 1 or no button mice.

Mac users it should be noted definitely didn't help though as they always insisted the original Mac mouse was the best (even the terrible hockey puck shit) just on the basis of being an Apple made mouse.

Basically Apple decided Apple users were too fucking dense to understand the function of a decent mouse...and Apple users proved them right. It became legendary meme from there and didn't stop until Apple made a better mouse (still arguably made for retards, but vastly superior regardless) but by that time the meme was set in stone.

>>58252893
Sounds like a logical decision to me, having exactly 2 buttons the second of which is completely different from the function of the first is just weird

Use up to date dev software. Use gnu progs. Keep your privacy.

>>58252893
It should also be noted that until the iPad/iPhone thing went full tilt must have (around 2009-2010 it all super blew up...think first iPad/3rd gen iPhone era) the Mac users consisted of only 2 kinds of people.

1. Artists, musicians and graphic designers whom Apple catered heavily towards at the time in order to bring a professional clientel and keep a good reputation.

2. People who were utterly incapable of using Windows without getting a fuckload of viruses. Be it 7, vista, so or earlier the vast bulk of people using Macs were people that were honestly too fucking dumb to function with any other computer...and Linux flat out scared the shit out of them.

So artsy types and fucking drooling morons were apples only computer market for decades. Its not apples fault honestly (the dumbass Apple vs pc ads didn't help though) but that was just how it was...

Artists, fuckwits and iPods. That's all Apple had.

It wasn't until much later they became 'so innovative'. After that even normal people started buying the hype (and by extension macs) and thus the 'Macs are really great and innovative' meme happened.

Before that it was just an internet machine for regards or a work machine for proto sjw art fags.

And that is the story of Apple memes.

>>58252893
>Apple very literally thought more than 1 button would confuse its customers.
Learn your fucking computer history.

It was an intentional design choice with the Lisa because GUIs in an operating system were nonstandard.

Everything had a contextual menu, contextual menus would pop up in really assbackwards locations based on your mouse X and Y position on the screen. Some things had a right click, other things didn't, and some of them required a right click on a right click. It was a mess, so when Apple made their iteration of that, they removed the second button and placed it under a Control + Click, adjusted the contextual menus and moved all of the normal navigation up to the top of the screen.

>>58253026
>'Macs are really great and innovative' meme happened.
They were, they completely altered the tech landscape

They may not have invented concrete or the process of treating wood but they made houses where the all the plumbing just worked without you ever having to look at it, the rooms of the house being arranged in a way that made sense and wiring that didn't require a knowledge of advanced circuitry for you to maintain and make sure it didn't burn your house down

They had a profoundly logical approach to designing things and if it weren't for them we probably would have had a generation of people making abhorrent needlessly convoluted user interfaces a la Windows

They may not be for you but seriously be glad they happened. Most people have no context for just how much they were able to save us from the trainwreck Microsoft was leading us towards.

>>58253068
>Also if you think 1 button is great your the kind of virus prone,phishing scam bait dumbass Macs were always made for. The kinda person who needs a walled garden ecosystem because you can't be left to your own devices without fucking your shit up.
None of that is relevant to having one mouse button. Like at all.

And just because it's simpler doesn't mean it's simpler to a disadvantage, that's essentially my argument for Apple in a nutshell.

>>58253026
>It wasn't until much later they became 'so innovative'. After that even normal people started buying the hype (and by extension macs) and thus the 'Macs are really great and innovative' meme happened.

Logic, Final Cut, Avid, and Aperture were industry standard digital authoring tools well before Macs became consumer products.

Apple had deep pockets in California being right next to Hollywood. Literally all digital movies in 2004-2008 were using FCP or Avid.

You can't install Mac OS on Gaming Consoles. You can't install Mac OS on ARM laptops. You can't build Mac OS from Scratch.


The entire point of Linux is to be Unix-like, and Free. Mac OS is just a nice laptop OS, and that's it. It can't do what Linux does.

>>58253118
That's actually all falsehood. They were good at marketing and tweaking existing designs to be normie friendly at the expense of feature sets. For example iOS has no user accessible file system (unlike android) specifically for the purpose of not confusing the end user.

Used to work applecare...if only you could see internal company memos...

Either way the systems are always locked down not for stability but for idiots. The less users can access the less they can potentially Fuck up. There's nothing to learn if there's nothing to access.

Put it this way...when I was doing osx support the vast majority of my calls were people who thought we have tech support for Microsoft office...the rational was always the same 'but I bought it at the Apple store!' as if Wal-Mart gave repairs and services for vacuums.

My favorite slide during our mandatory refresher training literally addressed this by stating 'explain it to the customer politely and with simple language as if speaking to a child'

Apple didn't invent shit...they just locked down other inventions so normies would be comfortable in using them.

Apple is the opposite of Linux. In Linux you have total control at the cost that you may fuck up...in osx and iOS you have zero control so YOU CANT Fuck it up.

Its just tech for retards. Sure it's great for those who need it but let's face it, an Apple innovation just means removing a function. Like say a headphone jack.

And it's always been like that. Every new product is a matter of what did they remove this time...so grandma doesn't get confused.

>>58253165
Yes but as soon as they became more mainstream after the iPad they ditched almost all of those programs and features. They just made that shit to appeal to professional usage...when it wasn't relevant it got phased out.

hey think of it this way...Making complex electronic devices so dumbed down that senior citizens, the technilogically inept and sub 75 IQ niggers can easily use them IS A BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT.

>Either way the systems are always locked down not for stability but for idiots. The less users can access the less they can potentially Fuck up. There's nothing to learn if there's nothing to access.
Well that's one reason Apple software is simple, but it's still simple with a purpose. That doesn't mean it's inherently bad.

Other companies tried their hand at making MP3 players and nobody used them because they fucking sucked. Then Apple came along and realized that you just need a scroll wheel, like 2 other buttons and a jack you can connect to some headphones and you're good as gravy. It did everything other MP3 players did and it just did it with out all the weird, tacky and unnecessary baggage.

>with simple language as if speaking to a child
Yes, because there's a massive market for people that want to use computers to send e-mails and watch movies and don't want or need to know the infrastructure and all the ways it can fuck up.

If you drive a truck for a living you're not a moron because you have trouble diagnosing why the engine is making a clicking noise.

>Apple didn't invent shit...they just locked down other inventions so normies would be comfortable in using them.
Did you read my post? I didn't claim they invented all the nuances of computer science, I said they made cohesive systems that worked for what they were worth and had an enormous market of people.

Are you familiar with the term pseudo-intellect? Because that's what you are. You're talking like you're over people's heads but you're just operating on instinct and your arguments fall apart when you're asked to actually justify them.

Ps your car analogy sucks. Your not adding extra shit...or getting rid of waste.

Of Mac was a car they give you a gauge that left out rpms. Or not give you a stereo because it's a distraction.

A computer is already like a car...some people Fuck up and crash. A Mac is like a tricycle. It never crashes but they removed half the usefull features to make it easy for you.

Then again I'm sure you like having one usb port and no HDMI out...options are bad and complicated after all...having extra ports would be like shifting gears with your toes right?

Back in applecare we had a lot of fun with you guys. You get paid based on review emails. The joke we always made was we don't fix shit but if we make you feel special for buying a Mac we get good reviews anyway.

You're very hard pressed to actually come up with this glass ceilings that everyone claims Apple has created.

>Then again I'm sure you like having one usb port and no HDMI out...options are bad and complicated after all...having extra ports would be like shifting gears with your toes right?
Forward-thinking. If you can eliminate hardware you will

Apple's simplicify officially transcended too far when they removed the other ports though, absolutely no one found a hole on the side of your laptop to be an obstruction.

>But hey your the one who feels good about getting less...so enjoy your walled garden...we both know you can't handle more anyway :)

>Filesystems. Mac fs support is: HFS, Fat/exfat, udf, and read-only ntfs. That's all TRASH.

Ntfs isn't total trash... Of course, Mac only support a read-only version of it. But it's a read-only version of a perfectly ok file system (not as good as most linux file systems, but it is perfectly funtional)

As a macOS user:

-No ext4 support
-Games market more focused towards linux now
-Shitty GPU drivers for that matter
-No choice of multiple desktop environments

That's about it though, I'm sure it's lacking for more reasons but none that I can really find or experience with my usage.

On linux though:

-Can't have a fuckton of trackpad gestures
-Not a single DE has decent defaults
-Doesn't have Parallels, which is the closest thing to decent Windows virtualization without going full hardware passthrough mode
-Doesn't have native compatibility with some commercial software
-I have yet to find a single way to make notifications for new emails/events appear with any clients I've tried
-Doesn't have Finder, honestly the closest thing to a good file manager I could find on Linux is Dolphin

Mainly that it's sluggish, but basically:
-The weird drop down menu per application at the top. Unity at least has a global menu, and other DEs by default have a taskbar. It's a waste of space to have a dock and that, but still use menus on windows.
-Speaking of waste of space, the default theme. It's no wonder people need the tweak tool, that shit is gigantic.
-Do I want to change that? I better download addons with firefox or install an extension on Chromium for that.
-I'm not gonna mention the fonts since it'd be unfair as you can't switch them in OSX by default. But I don't enjoy editing .css files because the tweak tool lacks an option.

>Both Thunderbird and Evolution have this on Gnome.
I've tried with both and I haven't managed to get a single notification. This was a month ago with Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 specifically. I did try with both clients as well.

>How is Finder better than Nautilus?
It just has more features overall. Column view and simplified tasks such as creating folders with selected files or dragging to nested folders

>>58256275

Well you can ignore it, but I agree moving the menus to the top bar would be great. But then obviously Gnome would be accused of copying macOS.

>-Speaking of waste of space, the default theme. It's no wonder people need the tweak tool, that shit is gigantic.
I agree. Arc4lyf (and even then...) but macOS wastes some interface space as well, especially on pop-ups.

>-Do I want to change that? I better download addons with firefox or install an extension on Chromium for that.
That's good that it's modular. You can also install extensions through your package manager if you prefer a more nix way.

>-I'm not gonna mention the fonts since it'd be unfair as you can't switch them in OSX by default. But I don't enjoy editing .css files because the tweak tool lacks an option.
What can't you change? The tweak tool allows me to change fonts just fine (interface, documents and monospace).

>I've tried with both and I haven't managed to get a single notification. This was a month ago with Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 specifically. I did try with both clients as well.
I don't know what to tell you, it has always worked for me in Fedora with Gnome all tens of times I've installed it.

>It just has more features overall. Column view and simplified tasks such as creating folders with selected files or dragging to nested folders
The vertical view is cool, but in my anedoctal experience Finder is way way buggier than any other file manager I've tried.

I recently started realizing that Ubuntu Gnome is buggy, it throws out random errors for no reason and I'm pretty sure it doesn't include CUPS. If you ever want to give Gnome another try, Fedora has the best implementation.

No, macOS supports shitloads of filesystems, same like Linux, you need to install them seperately, LIKE IN LINUX faggoy

>>58252706
Boo hoo, really? I never had problems

>>58257877
The only decent NTFS driver for macOS is tuxera, and that's paid software.

>>58252408
It can be made to only pop up when mouse is put to where it's hidden.

This can't be serious. Macfags pay for drivers?

Totally serious, just google Tuxera.

Avoid Apple services, the store, the fucking icloud and everything that has to do with online shit that connects to Apple. Fuck that. Fuck anyone that depends on that.

>>58258845
not even windows users would drop as low as using HFS

>>58258933
Why do you pay $20 for it then?

That's the kernel.

Didn't have many problems with mavericks on my 960T

>>58253031
Wrong. Some guy installed a tiling WM on OS X and won a gentoo desktop contest years ago

>>58259664
WM != DE

Why is everyone here convinced you can't use another DE on OS X or write to non-HFS+ filesystems without paying for drivers?

>>58259680
Fine, how about Gnome?

>>58252163
pay less than $1,000 for a laptop

>>58259694
You're on /g/. People here will convince themselves of anything necessary to continue believing whatever they want

>>58259707
Instead of Aqua?

>>58259694
Because when people here say what they can do with Linux, they are really talking about what OTHER people can do and they can use. Do you really think anyone here is actually writing their own drivers and shit?

>>58258633
False. Gnome works great at finding stuff actually.

>>58259694
Uh post some evidence of the former, and show us that sweet ext4 support on macOS.

>>58258633
find and grep comes with most linux distros.

>>58252512
limited scope to subsets of hardware, does not cover all x86 hardware.

>>58259694
OSX user here, I -have- to use commercial software to manage my NTFS partitions without errors.

And regarding DEs, if there's any alternative I'd -love- to hear it.

>>58252207
kek

>Uh post some evidence of the former, and show us that sweet ext4 support on macOS.
Heard about the ext4 support under FUSE?
How's the HFS+ support going in LINUX?

>>58262474
>HFS+
Even writing on sand at the beach is a safer way to store data. That shit has to be dropped as fast as possible.

>>58262750
Yes, HFS+ is shit, but being able to use it isn't a bad thing. I've got a full HFS+ formatted 4TB HDD and can't even use it because I don't have a computer to read it.

Compile your own kernel.

>>58262910
You can do that with OS X.

>>58262933
You're thinking of iOS.

I've noticed fanboys of all kinds are masters of moving goalposts.

if only moving goalposts won arguments, though...

>>58263086
that happens when pass users try to wear their pass like a fucking badge.

just because I paid for passes, doesn't mean I actually wanted to use them, I just support the site.

>just because I paid for passes, doesn't mean I actually wanted to use them, I just support the site.
That's the most retarded shit I ever heard. Why not use it?

>>58252163
Use ext4 file system.

Close the lid without suspending.

>>58253082
>1. Cry because there are no drivers.
All my eMagic USB stuff stopped working in 10.6 because there were no new drivers and the old ones could no longer be installed.
It all still works up to today in Linux.

>>58262474
No I haven't, show me a fuse mount of an ext4 partition in macOS.
