So just bought my first mac, tell me more about the power of Unix /g/!

Faster boot times, no dll hell, force quitting apps does not take forever. Stable architecture and better privacy with less viruses...There is probably so much more stuff i am not aware about.

>>58371668
Yeah noticed that force quitting something is near instant, also boot times doesn't really matter since i rarely turn it off.

>>58371546
What mac did you buy?

>>58371735
2016 macbook pro non touchbar.

It can stop bullets

>>58371822
Good choice. Don't believe the ignorant plebs on here when they try to tell you otherwise. They don't know about technology.

>>58371919
OP here
It's overpriced if you compare spec to spec with a windows pc, but i really the design and the screen, and that's a bit harder to out a price on. Also the touchbar is for plebs imo.

>>58371907
Don't live in 'murica, do not need it to stop bullets.

>>58371546
It's what I learned in school so development is a lot easier.

>>58371907
Yeah. You can use all the dongles to swat the away...

>>58371546
Can it run linux?

>>58372356
dunno, don't care

>>58372044
Don't forget touchpad that's miles ahead of any other laptop

>>58372044
The touch bar isn't much of a functional benifit, but it's pretty satisfying/pleasant to use. I'd put it in the same category as the macbook's generally better design feel as being hard to put a price on - just depends how much expendable income you have and how much a better feeling is worth to you

>>58372379
But I need to install gentoo on it
>>58372393
>force touch meme

>>58372420
True, but i value the bigger battery and actual buttons more than the touchbar, but touch id would sure be great!

>>58372421
I think most linux distros run on mac

>>58371546
unparalleled dongle support

>>58372295
this model was a pre-dongle model though

>>58372356
but why? OSX should run almost all Linux software

>>58373953
I know. I'm talking about the "courageous features" of the latest ones :^)

>>58372393
This, it's a epic portable potato, wouldn't use a desktop Mac but never going to use anything else for a laptop

>>58374224
>portable potato

What did he mean by this?

>>58372421
>>force touch meme
Honestly for 99% of use (clicking and moving the cursor) it feels just like a physical button, it's only when you turn the machine off and click that you can really notice it doesn't move.

>>58376769
I didn't want to over sell it too much, but it really is so comfy.

>>58376900
Force Touch trackpads vibrate under the surface to simulate a real click. The benefit is that you can click anywhere on the pad. It's indistinguishable from a real click.

Hi OP, just install homebrew and never install a program manually again. Some examples
>brew update
>brew install homebrew/php/php56
>brew install postgresql
>brew cask search chrome
>brew cask install google-chrome
>brew install --HEAD --with-bundle --with-bluray-support --with-libdvdread --with-little-cms2 --with-lua --with-bundle mpv
>brew linkapps mpv

>>58371546
UNIX is really only super powerful if you're programming IMHO. Honestly just having a cheat sheet of command line arguments and seeing what they can do is a good place to start. Plus installing software packages from the command line is a hell of a lot easier than doing it the manual way (90% of the time it's literally just copy paste a command). The command line along with workspaces make OSX amazing for actual productivity.

>>58371546
install and learn homebrew

Mac user with a real job here.

>>58377617
Which macs do you use? I'm looking to buy either an early 2009 iMac or a 2010 Mac Mini, since they're dirt cheap here (I pay €430 for with an 8GB configuration, and ~€460 for the iMac). It's for school work.
Do you think it's worth it?

Reviewers in 2016 said they were still very nice even though the HDD should be replaced by an SSD if you don't want to wait the ~40 seconds for it to boot.

>>58377704
If you're gunning for something cheap (i.e. older) you should definitely replace the Hard Disk with an SSD. And max out the RAM, other wise you'll find life unpleasant.

>>58377704
Oh at work I have a 27 inch 2012 iMac with 32 GB of memory, and I own a 13 inch 2015 MacBook Pro. The rest of the office have iMacs that are slightly older or newer than mine (2011 - 2015).

>>58371668
All at the cost of a horrendous UI.
You could just, you know, get any other version of Unix/Linux ever.

>>58377819
>horrendous UI

What's bad about it?

>>58377819
>>58377912
Yeah, Aqua is comfy, consistent and features great interactive UI animations. What's to hate?

Yea i'm also mainly gonna use it for school, so productivity and portability is key for me.

I'm starting college soon, currently a temp teacher at a local school.

>>58377704
Remember that apple typically ends support for their products when they are 6-7 seven years old.

The UI's what's keeping me from leaving OS X.

Not like he won't be able to use Sierra for years. Hell, people are still using Tiger.

How do you like it OP? Might buy one in a few years when my think pad starts getting long in the tooth

>>58371546
I have a MacBook Pro. It's just regular PC hardware in an aluminum case. The OS is just BSD with a custom desktop environment/file explorer called finder. In the top bar, go to the finder button, click it for a drop down menu, select preferences, and from there you can make it a little less shit. Otherwise I recommend installing Homebrew to get a CLI package manager which can give you come useful stuff like zsh, a newer version of bash, emacs, etc. You can also get toys like screenfetch, cowsay, and figlet. If you've used GNU/Linux or BSD before, it should feel pretty familiar.

>>58371907
Maybe small calibers.
