Iv'e used both for years. Lmao stop being an idiot, it's apple, it has literally no learning curve whatsoever. maybe trackpad gestures but there's only like 5

I heavily rely on keyboard shortcuts and I kinda like the Windows shortcuts:

Win + D: Desktop
Win + L: Lock
Win + I: Settings
Win + Arrow : Move windows to a side or another
Win + E: Explorer

You guys have a list of handy shortcuts for Mac?

I'm using a dongle to connect to another monitor via HDMI
can I daisy chain dongles to connect to a second HDMI monitor?

For settings cmd + space + typing "sett" is probably faster. Spotlight is crazy awesome.

Also getting the hang of 3 finger gesture to switch between desktops is much faster than multitasking on Windows either way.

I can see how that could be useful

Any quick way to put two programs side by side on two halves of the screen? Trivial with Windows and pretty useful for me

It's all about the gestures. 4 finger swipe out shows desktop, three finger side swipes swap workspaces, 3 finger swipe up to display all workspaces (mouse over top edge after swiping up for complete view). Unfortunately, Macs don't have the nice window manager where you can easily do split screen. Otherwise, most things have shortcuts you can Google, and gestures can be configured in tracked settings.

Also, spotlight (function-spacebar) is your friend. Basically works like the windows key (to search/run), but better, and you can install apps yo make it.even better (use command strings like Chrome's search bar, regexes, etc).

>>61185970
>This machine has reduced my productivity significantly so far.
Yes but it's not the fault of the machine that you're not used to use it. Though I get when you're coming from, I hated it too for half a year and almost switched back to Windows.

>Any quick way to put two programs side by side on two halves of the screen?
Now that's done in a pretty stupid way, F3/mission control and then you have to "manually push one inside of the other".

>>61186115

>>61186201
It's better to get used to the gestures, hell you can even abuse force touch to open a new tab as you'd do with the middle button on a mouse.

>I can't get that to work
Try: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-use-split-view-in-os-x-el-capitan/
Though unless you absolutely have to have them side by side, I'd rather open them in full screen and switch between them with 3 fingers gesture. Shit is instantaneous even on a crappy Core M and very intuitive once you get the hang out of it.

>>61186201
>it's not finding anything I'm looking for, just "apps" and shit. not files.
That's weird. Did you check the Spotlight settings?

>>61185570
pretty much this
NEETs get their panties in a twist at anything that isn't windows XP 32-bit because deep down they're all the tech illiterate geezers they pretend not to be

CMD + Space is your best friend my man. Also swipe gestures, learn em.

Install windows 7 via bootcamp, uninstall osx

That's just weird. It works fine with Word and One Note, and Exel does have the same base, does it not?

Well, it's really dependant on the temps so if the bench is short enough, it could be pretty close.

Use vmware fusion.
It's nice, you get bash and some software from brew, but you can also have any windows software.
Give windows 12/16GB of RAM and mac gets the other 4.
You can suspend Windows VM when you don't need the bloat.

OS X is nice, honestly. Having a proper bash shell, and shit like python already installed is nice. And Homebrew is amazing for downloading CLI tools. I fucking hate trying to find windows ports for things like nmap

You may not need to daisy chain if you find a 3rd party that supports two HDMI ports.

Typical Mac users response
>If you actually have to use totally retarded feature, there is of course the utterly shitty farce of a remotely similar feature the great apple has crafted, though I won't admit it's shit and instead urge you to change the way you are used to interact with literally any other os on the market to the obviously superior, but somehow completely lacking way apple has envisioned you to use it. After all, Facebook and shit posting doesn't require such power user features.

Seriously the amount of 'this power user feature is not available natively, but you can install this $80 app to get a similar functionality' I've read in forums through the years of using macs is quite substantial.

Not saying you should, but you can use bootcamp to run windows 10 or Linux on mac

>>61199797
the goal is to get rid of Windows ("security", lol)

linux would be an option as well but we wouldn't buy macs for that

>>61199407
I wasn't talking about this specific thing, but the general attitude of macfags

>>61185417
First thing is install brew. It gives you a package manager similar to what you might expect on Linux. Try to install things through either Brew if you can (100% of command line based tools can come through here).

Finder (the Mac equivalent of Explorer) is really awful. If you're a power user have a play with something like mc (midnight commander)* which is a ncurses (terminal based) file explorer.

The built in terminal doesn't work like you might expect it to work (copy pasting, etc). Install iTerm2*.

Mac has its own demu called

Spotlight

which you can access with Apple + space. This can replace win + R as well as the start menu.

*Alternative clients exist, do your own research.
