Poverty. Most people bitching about macOS never used it for longer periods of time.
>>
>>58396186
Macs are actually decent provided that they're being used properly (not as facebook machines or status symbols)

The older models last forever and OSX is comfy as shit. The hardware is super over priced though.

I know a kid who bought a MacBookPro and installed W10 on it as an exclusive OS. Lil' fucker's a CS major too.

I hope his father raped him as a child.

No, it isn't. I don't know why /g/, of all places, still has people that believe this.

When you go deeper than the simplest, high-level specs, you quickly find out that it's either cost-competitive or outright has no rival.

For example, you can't just say "hurr muh HP has the same SSD storage for less!" when you shitty HP uses SATA SSD and the Mac uses quad-channel PCIe SSD. Or "muh DPI" when the Mac has 16:10 with greater bit-depth, better quality back lighting, and far greater brightness.

Seriously such bullshit. Yes I know hackintoshes are a thing but it takes away from the entire simplicity of macOS in the first place. Besides, everyone hates windows and all other distros are serious garbage and will never take off - so it would be a great market opportunity but oh well.

A huge part of the reason people buy macs is the experience and high base expectations from the products. You know what you're getting and the options are relatively limited and clear.

It just wouldn't work with others selling the hardware, look how bad the quality of windows laptops varies. It could be a decent product but it can be some barely usable shit and there is no way to tell unless you have the time to inform yourself and read all the reviews, which people with jobs rarely do unless they job are in the tech industry.

>can save even more money

Selling hardware means that Apple controls the entire experience and they don't have to test a bunch of shit for compatibility and push out a bunch of hardware specific patches for various people's setups. At this point in time it still makes sense for them to sell hardware.

HFS+ file rot is real, and fucking scary when it happens to you. Your backups will likely be corrupted and you will have no way of knowing until you interact with a damaged file. By then it is likely too late.

Thank god apple is finally going to replace that pile of shit. NTFS, ZFS, even fucking Ext4 are better at rot prevention.

Shill thread #4727942611
>>
The OS has its cool things and its problems. Many people are quick to praise it as best OS because for their usage they might not have to do X or Y which may have problems there. However for instance, Finder gets a lot of hate for 2 things (not being able to show hidden files without a terminal command and not rearranging files automatically when resizing a window) but it has a set of really great features that you can't find anywhere else.

Another thing is that it gets complaints about usage, for instance the closing behavior which in the end it's a matter of learning and ends up becoming more convenient (you have most of the time two options instead of one) or moving/copying files which you can toggle with a key. The OS has some additions that make the good old windows users lose their shit quickly without thinking twice.

Take for example this man right here >>58401007 he doesn't know how to take a screenshot, in his incompetence he blames the system >>58401041 which is pretty frequent these days.

In any case it's a pretty competent system despite Apple trying to kill it and it's inevitable that there will be quite a few people here who do not even wish to try it because "it might bring a case of the gays" and "my friends told me apple was shit, including every single product".

>basic features you've found in Linux for ages
Also it wasn't always like this op. Macos has been really crappy in the past too.

Anon this exists everywhere. The reason it is being used now is because people care about UX more now that it's a meme. If we go back 5 years a 'good ui' means a moron can operate it at peak efficiency. Now a good UI means proving intuitive options. Dragging and dropping on Windows and responding to paste messages is nothing new on the OS side.

I'm pretty sick of you under-power users that think you're experiencing the wonders of technology when you haven't even looked into OS API and reflected over the possibilities.

Also. Why are you presenting all this as if we'd know what the fuck you mean when you say 'drag a file onto finders back button'. It means absolutely nothing to most people. I don't even keep up with Macos enough to know what finder is.

macOS not on a Mac doesn't function properly. ts not made to work with any other hardware and Apple actively tries to pretend installation and function on anything else.

I've used pretty much every file management system on most OS systems since 1985. Amiga workbench, BeOS tracker, Explorer in every incarnation, finder since macs existed, most unix/linux filemanagers (and that's a lot), and none of them are as good as finder--unless you're a retard and don't learn how to use it. Shit, nautilus/gnome have been trying to duplicate finder from os7 for so long now that it gives me a goddamned headache, right down to the 'spatial' shit they couldn't implement correctly. Now they're trying to clone OSX. What a joke.

Not a license, you fucking handicap. This isn't Windows. Apple has some part of their company actively working on and maintaining current and future macOS versions. They're not Dell who just pay MS and throw in a few drivers.

Once you're actually smart enough to realize what's going on, you'll find that the high end laptop market is more jew than Apple can ever dream to be. Windows OEMs do less than half of the work of Apple and are starting to charge the same.

The XPS 13 costs £1,000. A thousand pounds for a fucking Windows machine that doesn't even play games (the only point of Windows in the first place) and doesn't have a custom OS.

yeah so what? its still slow as shit, and i prefer having multiple windows. its faster if i have to constantly copy shit

I agree on rest of your points, but finder is horrible compared to explorer.

As for file managers:
Dolphin is not only as good as finder, it exceeds finder in every category.
>>
>>58409238

seriously, i want to like it and every macfag praises it. but everytime i use it i feel like retarded.

search is so useless that i would rather go to the windows pc 20 feet away just to use explorer search.

back and forth using mouse buttons doesnt work (easy fix i bet)

difficult to navigate massive folder hierarchies.

right click open with (working) (working) instead of just having the list prefucking loaded.

Doesnt show folder tree like explorer to easily go up where you want.

delete button does nothing lol (probably a setting)

cant easily access my main folders that i use from anywhere (save windows, different finder windows, etc)

feel like im always going the long way to access the folder i want.

all these issues and probably more are my concerns, every time i have to use finder compared to explorer i get sad inside.

All these things in explorer are lightningfast.

so, what am i doing wrong desu? is there hope?

also path finder and total finder are good alternatives but they cant fully integrate into the OS.

copies occasionally crash thunar, including local disk copies to other filesystems. I've found it to be generally a little flaky at times. Speed isn't an issue though, but locking up completely, or closing (crashing) unexpectedly occurs here and there. I don't mind thunar, I just with it wasn't tied to so many third party libs that may or may not be stable.

Finder has all the features you'd expect, but also includes, (basic feature set):
real time resizable thumbnails of video, audio (plays in icon, no extra player needs to open), custom tagging and metadata, vector graphics, and anything else that third party apps develop a plugin for. (quicklook technology)

spotlight: find any file based on tagging, metadata, contents, location-drill-down, file type, general type, dates, natural language, etc.

Full file multi-rename with many options.

Spatial or browser or tabbed browsing.

Fully customizable look and feel.

Additional content info selectable in icon view as well as list.

Size of folders can be calculated. (still not available in windows lol)

Folder actions-scriptable actions on arbitrary and specific files, per folder.

OS-services available in finder--including automatic third party app support via actions, scripts, services, etc.

Can mount local and remote filesystems from the menu, including vnc, ssh, ftp, dav, nfs, etc.

File sharing built in, supports a number of sharing services, and other third party services can be added via actions, services, plug ins, etc.

The only limit to finders ability is how clevery you are with automator, applescript, or unix scripting. Or writing services from scratch in your favourite development language.

There's more, but you get the picture.

Most finder users don't know its capabilities. Having come from other OS's with extended graphical filemanagement (like beos and amiga) I spent time looking for features. And found all the ones I want.
>>
>>58409275
>it's not a licence
Yeah but if you're 'not paying for hardware' and paying for the OS and the updates as you claim you're really just paying what's equivalent to a licence as you don't get the source or any rights to modify that OS.

>Apple do a lot of work
Shame the billions of dollars they earn couldn't provide billions of dollars worth of value to the end user.
>Windows OEM's are shit
No news there anon. But they haven't been fucking up windows XP as bad as apple was fucking up their OS when I used it in 07.
>they're getting worse
Nothing new. I use my own (Linux) distribution obviously. But I don't see why you have to compare Apple to Windows in this way. You can have expectations on a companies performance in isolation to other companies.

If you're not just paying for hardware, and you're paying for the OS. How would you put it? Do you really have to argue semantics? It doesn't matter to the end consumer how they bucket their income.

If Mac was this major researcher that actually produced stuff and didn't just rebrand (which no sane macfag can argue against them having been doing for the last 20 years) then I'd get the 'you pay for the development' argument more. But all we see is extremely minor 'improvements' upon existing design that certainly doesn't warrant paying the massive premium you do.
>>
>>58409510
Pretty much any small third party app you'd use in windows or linux (like viewers, resizers, meta data modifiers, etc etc etc) are already in the OS. You just need to explore the menus or read the help file. lol.
>>
>>58396186

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Can windows or any linux file manager execute data manipulation commands/programs on arbitrary files upon being dropped in a specific folder?

If the answer is 'no' then you're not using a file manager as good as finder.
>>
>>58409510
Anon I don't mean to be offensive but reading this it literally sounds like you're writing the kind of marketing you find on the back of shitty Chinese tools.
Stuff like 'fully customizable', it doesn't hold true, its not what anyone was asking for and it'd be unfeasible.

Folder scriptable actions (what I presume is just sugar for scripts that run on files as you place them in folders) is cool. Easily replicated but as a normal-user feature it seems cool that they're pushing some typically power user features on the less experienced.
But I'm concerned with feature bloat. In my experience with Apple they haven't even been able to keep ui consistent across devices (the 'compose email' button on Ipad vs iPhone vs desktop for instance) so I wonder how finder holds up for normal users.

Ponder this linux niggers:
This 1985 OS has had arbitrary metadata available in every file, including software configuration, in the fucking icon info, and you're still stuck using the /etc, usr/share, usr/local/share, /usr/local/etc, (etc) shit forever.

>you're just late
I think you mean op. I'm not saying that there's anything new being discussed here at all.
I was stating that it's not new features on any OS.
Of course Linux is a mixed bag and somewhere there's probably some DE where drag and drop is a new thing but in general.
>>
>>58410264
>file metadata
That's a file format feature. Or they're doing something dumb in the filesystem. You really shouldn't be messing with metadata on the file system level. It's a mess.
>>
>>58410320
There is a lot more to drag and drop than just icon proxies.

Unless the DE and API support drag and drop, you're gonna be relegated to copying files like we copied them in 1985 on macs, amigas, c64 geos, and acorn systems.

Let that sink in. LET THAT SINK IN--1985 faggots!
>>
>>58396466
Louis Rossman begs to differ.
>>
>>58410354
>unless DE and OS API supports it
Well not really OS API. Since drag and drop is a purely DE environment feature it can run whatever code it wants when it receives a 'file dropped' message. It's just that OS API often contains the programmatic interactions you can have with the DE in some manner in the proprietary packages like Windows or Mac OS.
I'm not sure why you're making it a point that drag and dropping files is old. Yes. It's one of the easiest inventions. And it makes op mentioning it first in his list of cool mac features rather odd.
>>
>>58410426
Doubt it. He's talking laptops. Apple has a lot of high quality desktops (which I'd still argue is inefficient in feature/price but that's the high end for you). And that's what anon here is mentioning lest he be completely mad.

Text boxes in OS X work with Emacs keybindings. Ctrl+v and Opt+v for Page Down and Page Up, Ctrl+a and e for moving the cursor the the beginning and end of the line, Opt+arrow for moving the cursor word to word, Opt+backspace/delete for deleteing a word at a time-e, etc.

Finder is garbage, but still much better than any other file explorers I've used. Mac OS is also comfy UNIX underneath. You can easily get root access and disable SIP to get out of the walled garden. iOS is dogshit but Mac OS is really good.

I'm also here to shill this SSD. It's cheap and 4x faster than the mechanical hard drive I replaced recently.

I've heard this, and I considered a 2015 15 inch. Having soldered RAM is a huge turnoff though.

The biggest thing I miss about finder is bashing spacebar to preview files. Literally 90% of photos, music, Office or whatever other files could be previewed. Worked great when needing to find a hot meme to post.

I missed it so much I installed a package to do the same thing on Ubuntu, can't remember what it's called though.

Windows still makes me suffer though.

been using a macbook pro since 2011. my first lasted me five years, bought the 2015 model just before the refresh.

What do you think a RAM upgrade does to a 2015 laptop in 6 years? All laptops will move to soldered because the times of RAM upgrades making a difference are gone. Yet people still don't get this.
>>
>>58411492
Going from 4 to 10GB in my current machine made a huge difference. Everything is faster and I can have more stuff open at once.

But hey, whatever floats your boat. You're not wasting my money.
>>
>>58411477
Hackingtosh what? Saving bit money but wasting time on upgrading an outdated piece of shit with more RAM and a new SSD? Mobile devices simply don't work like that anymore and the differences with screen technology alone makes it idiotic.

>>58411301
>blaming farage
The new pricing is up only because Apple now have to pay billions to the EU for the tax thing. They decided that the consumers should pay for that which is very sad.

We're talking about machines that ship right now with around 16GB of RAM. Like the MacBook pro.

The CPU will bottleneck performance before RAM does.
>>
>>58411551
>Hackingtosh what?

Something with x86 hardware, obviously. I haven't decided on the exact machine since it will be at least another 3 years before I need a new machine.

>Saving bit money but wasting time on upgrading an outdated piece of shit with more RAM and a new SSD?

More like saving a lot of money, and whatever machine I hackintosh will be new, requiring no such upgrades.

>Mobile devices simply don't work like that anymore and the differences with screen technology alone makes it idiotic.

There are plenty of Mac OS capable PCs with amazing displays. I also wouldn't consider a laptop to be a mobile device, since most use x86 chips and run a desktop OS of some kind.
>>
>>58411606
Again, I don't care. You are free to waste your money on whatever you want, and so am I. I want a PC with user replaceable parts, so that is what I'll buy.
>>
>>58411595
So why are the prices in other EU countries still the same?

>>58411655
>There are plenty of Mac OS capable PCs with amazing displays.
Most of this are just as limited when it comes to upgrades nor exactly cheaper.

>I also wouldn't consider a laptop to be a mobile device, since most use x86 chips and run a desktop OS of some kind.
It's still a mobile device and not some kind of desktop replacement when we talk about <14" sizes, so factors like battery life and size/weight are priorities for most, hence the manufacturers prioritize that instead of muh upgradebility.

Most are at least a couple hundred USD cheaper, and Dell offers some very nice business laptops which work well for hackintoshing. Those have user replaceable parts.

>It's still a mobile device and not some kind of desktop replacement when we talk about <14" sizes, so factors like battery life and size/weight are priorities for most, hence the manufacturers prioritize that instead of muh upgradebility.

I disagree. I think that x86 is what separates desktops from mobile devices. Running x86 programs is a lot more useful than angry birds and a starbucks app. As long as laptops exist that have user replaceable RAM and hard drives, I will always buy those. If there ever comes a time when all laptops have all components soldered in, I will take into consideration the chink trash you're shilling.
