but macOS has the most OOTB functionality out of any OS. how do they make everything so lean?

templeos

>>59239145
They don't.
The other some hundred mb that are the browser engine are probably hidden as some "system library" so Apple can reuse it in XCode etc.

>>59239145
Safari's size isn't big because the engine and most of it's other functionalities are inside the system, that's why it only gets updated with every OS update.

Plan9

>>59239193
This. MS does the same with IE. Sure, iexplore.exe may only take 20MB of ram but don't forget about syshost.exe taking up several GBs

>>59239208
how come apple is so good at optimization?

They know their products so they know how to get the best out of them.

>>59239352
Still not on gentoo level.

the one /g/ made that one time.

why isn't there an integrated browser for linux?

linhobos btfo!

>>59239582
they don't even have an integrated filebrowser, something both Windows and macOS hold so dearly that they relaunch them if they are quit.

>>59239582
Why would there. All they are is garbage that is to be replaced.

Actually there is one for gnome that is the first thing to be replaced in sane bistros.

>>59239509
iTunes is only shit on Windows

>>59239729
You're right. It's a big deal on YellowTab.

>>59239221
I'm so glad Pike is a cunt otherwise I would have to feel sorry for him.

>>59239582
>Linux
>integrated
do you even UNIX philosophy?

>>59239830
yeah right thats why they integrated ALSA... could as well integrate webkit

>>59239749
Why would you feel sorry for him?

how come American programmers make software that is 10x more robust while at the same time nearly 2x as lean?

how does apple manage to write the best software consistently? is it the architecture of macOS from the ground up?

I use windows on pc and linux on laptop, but with the shit that Windows 10 is and general shittiness of Linux on desktop I truly belive that macOS is the best option for Just Works(tm) desktop experience.

>>59242121
This isn't even a question any more. Anyone who does actual work can't get it done in Windows with all its popups, automatic updates and tablet interface. Linux is out because it has no commercial software. macOS has the best window management too, especially with that trackpad, it's the best way to multitask.

I wish there was any competition because the laptops are stagnating but there isn't.

>>59242171
>>best window management

>no side by side snapping
>obnoxious retarded toolbar shadow
>no focus follows mouse
>no UNIX style copy-paste
>touch events other than primary and secondary only work with cocoa libs.
>animations out the ass
>choppy workspace transition animation
>dark toolbar somehow allows more window space than light bar.

it's fucking terrible only made slightly less terrible because of shit like amethyst.

>>59242250
It definitely has window snapping and focus follows mouse in the latest version

>>59242171
Give me i3wm and better Hackintosh compatibility with various hardware and I'll consider MacOS.

>>59238627
seL4.

>>59239504
FizzBuzz OS?

>>59242913

Ubersicht/Spectacle basically i3wm and you can pretty much run macOS on almost any hardware nowadays .. check tonymac's forum for your specs/advice

>>59239700
>What are TTYS / Terminals

>>59244970
I'll see about Tonymac, but I've tried Spectacle on MacOS and it doesn't really have nearly as many of the features as i3wm does, and you still end up with the same horrific desktop environment that has all of the same animations. I might triple boot it with Linux and Windows just to try it out, though.

Neat. I'll give it a shot.

Arch linux is about 300mb after install, less than a gig with xorg, a wm, and chromium

>>59245513

>he uses a DE

arch is 80-90 mb without it ..

Lynx is enough for casual browsing

>>59245520
>80-90
lol no
>not using curl and text processors to remove the html tags

OpenBSD

>>59238654
OpenBSD's install image is even smaller than FreeDOS'.

>>59239191
This. By a landslide. TempleOS is only 17MB.

>>59239952
Because plan 9 was a complete failure.
