Macfag ignorance thread

>but Apple says they can't get virus
Really? The company you paid money to for a product said nice things about it? Surely they wouldn't lie, now would they?

>What's your worst experience arguing with a macfag /g/?
Every experience with a MacFag is the worst:

>macs are better for graphics
>macs cant get virus
>macs last longer
>professionals buy macs
>apple will never kill the mac
>macs are upgradable (you just buy a whole new mac)

Absurdist level cancer of the worst kind.
Macfags should kill themselves.

all true when comparing mac to windows

I use linux actually
>inb4 "i-i-it's GNU/Linux..."
you don't say you drove to work in your engine/Car do you?

>>60793672
>So you use Linux? you would like mac too, since it's a lot like Linux.

Naturally, told him to jump off a cliff.

>>60793833
In my experience macbooks do last longer than other consumer-grade laptops. They can't compete with thinkpads or other business laptops though.
The other points are valid.

>>60793833
This is all mostly true. Except "better for graphics" part.

>>60793997
You must have a lot of friends.

Any objective argument being swept aside by subjective opinions.
>specs, build quality etc. is bad for the price
>but I like how they look
Not often have I met a Macfan wh could actually come up with non-subjective reasons for Mac like how the ecosystem works quite well. Even if you don't like the locked down ecosystem you can't deny that it is impressive how easily Apple products work together.

>>60794073
They do yeah. But comparing a bottom-of-the-stack consumer PC to a Mac costing way way more is like comparing a hot dog to filet mignon. Not really comparable at all.

Their arguments boil down to:
>"It's pretty, tehee."
>"You hate them because you're le poor XDdd---"
>"It's more secure because apple said so \:(!!!11oneone"

I just stopped arguing with them altogether. They're basket cases apple is going to milk dry till the day they are forced to pay the billions in evaded taxes.

>its more unix like which makes them way better for 'power users'

I dual boot windows and Linux due to software vendor constraints. Fyi

To me the worst was when the iPads first came out. People would show up Monday with a $1000 device and start asking how to use it for work. If that didn't click, they spent a grand on a device they weren't sure if it could do any of the things they wanted to do on it. When they found out it couldn't do shit but browse the web and connect to some email services they got mad at IT

>GNU/Linux is driving an engine/Car
That's a bad analogy/Shitpost because GNU is both the engine AND the car. Linux is the drivetrain. Obviously unless you're special/Retarded, you don't say you drove a drivetrain to work.

No it's a butchered version of UNIX for toddlers.

>you are Linux

>>60793892
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.

the macfag mentality is that it's really expensive so it's supposed to work so you're the one who's wrong if you can't get it to work

Our organization even provides them Thinkpads notebooks and HP Elitebooks to work on. He returned his Elitebook and decided to work on a Mac that he bought.
Almost lost my job too.

I don't argue with people about their technology choices. I don't have to use that shit so it doesn't affect me enough to debate the merits of other systems.

>Yeah but its so thin

Legit argument I've had to deal with.

I own a MacBook Pro and I love it lol hate me

None because the mac users I know are aware that they are able to get viruses, they overpaid for their hardware (some didn't because they bought used) and that the Mac they own isn't the best option in the market.
Why would I discuss something so petty?
Why should I care about others think?
Why should I explain when someone is wrong?
I really don't get why /g/ is so insecure.

Not sure if she was a macfag, but this girl thought I was hacking when I opened a terminal to ping so I could see she was connected to the university wifi.

Mac users are definitely retarded.

I used an old mac mini for a time at my father's house.
I didn't like how they tried to reinvent the wheel on many different features for no reason, doing things differently only for the sake of being different and alienating the users.
It didn't feel faster or smoother than my cheap ass notebook running Ubuntu with GNOME.
I didn't like how limited it felt and the fact that I needed to hack it into something else entirely, just to feel like I was in control of my own computer.
I didn't like how the system assumed that I was a retard and tried to handhold me all the fucking time.
It was pretty, yes. But I don't care about that at all.
I used macOS, and it made me feel like a piece of shit.
