Mac or PC?

>>61381827
Mac for professional work, PC for play, Linux for server, BSD for router.

Stupid questions thread this is not.

I honestly can't choose. I've been using Windows all my live and have literally never had a good experience with it. I'm thinking of switching to Mac but then again it could just be 'grass is greener' syndrome.
Maybe computers in general just suck right now and all I can do is deal with it.

By popularity, Windows machine is commonly refered as a PC.

Windows for work and gaming (obvs), macOS for pretty much everything else.

I like Windows' design better, because it's more heterosexual (everything is straight and square, not ambiguously rounded).

>>61384364
my story didn't go like that. no wifi, no ethernet, stuck in 800x600... literally would not have been able to complete the install if I didn't have another computer on hand. you're right though, his laptop was kinda old, but not ancient by any means.

same deal with my current laptop. i ahve 2 hard drives (one in optical bay) you'll have to take my word, but installing Linux was WAY easier and faster than installing windows 7 (had to do the same hoop jumping with drivers) but in that case it was Windows 7 and my laptop is pretty new so it's a little more excusable

>>61384364
Literally this. I've been a windows fag for 20 years and the biggest problem I had was missing network drivers. Only once. I used hundreds of different computers and did dozens of fresh installations.
I don't understand the retards here. Windows is literally the easiest OS to install and use. It's harder than ever for regular user to fuck up something in it.

>>61384392
same, it's fucking weird that IBM doesn't even make pc's now

>>61384402
i promise you it's easier to install Ubuntu than Windows, and I've been a Winfag since 3.11

not even hating on Windows, I use Windows everyday I just use it as a video game console now whereas I use Linux for the internet and shit because it's safer and faster

>>61384341
They don't call them PCs because "macs" are a marketing trick. They created the illusion that their PCs are something from another planet, not just an ordinary PC.

Even though they have ordinary PC parts. It's all about faggotry.

Installing Linux easier, what's hard is getting anything to run on it without updating thousands of packages that may or may not fuck up your installation permanently
Not only that several of those updates will fail thanks to the fact that all the package managers are pieces of shit so the only way to install stuff is through pure trial and error, because there is no help on the internet

that's the thing, back in the day when the terminology came out, they didn't. there were IBM compatible computers (PC's) and macs. you could not put MS DOS or Windows on a mac back then.

now they have the same architecture, but the terminology remains for greybushes like myself

>>61384434
i said Ubuntu not Linux. Ubuntu is as easy to use as Macos or windows. the freetards who use tiling wm's and rice and shit are a different story. It's not 1999 and Linux isn't hard. don't be fooled by /g/ memes like it takes computer experts to use Linux.

ok, i get that you came from reddit and think you're supposed to be mean and edgy to fit in, but I promise you that in the past PC meant IBM compatible, and in the past macs were NOT IBM compatible. I'm not trolling you, I'm trying to shed some light on why people don't really call macs PC's despite the fact they are "personal computers". The original macs were NOT ibm compatible. So people took to calling IBM compatible computers "PC's" and Apple computers that used the macintosh os "Macs". This is semantics. Nobody called Amigas "PC's" either, because they were not IBM compatible. This is just the truth, I am not making it up. You have to be fucking YOUNG to not know this. There is nothing wrong with that. I wish I were still young. I don't expect you to know this shit because you weren't alive.

>>61384998
also, when Apple came out with these "I'm a Mac" ads, macs were already using the same architecture as wintel pcs. This is because everyone already called PC's and Macs those names.

Also, you might not know this either, but IBM used to make personal computers, they were the guys who made Thinkpads, you ever see those threads on /g/? cool talking with you, don't let the bed bugs bite

Windows for Gaming and Bullshit. Linux for when Windows BSODed itself to death.

It's simple.

Do you use macOS as your main system, and intend to use all the features that Apple computers have? Then that.

Otherwise, PC. You can hackintosh to a point where it is more stable than some of the currently popular linux distros.

Windows was never able to install in 10 minutes when it came on discs.
I haven't tried 8 or 10, but up to 7, there was no drivers with the OS.
I got a thinkpad which was much the official microsoft laptop until they started to make their own tablets.
Something as simple as downloading the ISO is a pain too.
There is no official way to get the OS, I had to find a german mirror of digital river.
After I have found the right version (Wihout any documentation to tell you what the hell the difference is), I used the code on the back of the machine, and there was no fucking drivers.
No ethernet, no wifi, no graphics driver, the touchpad and trackpoint didn't work properly, it was a mess.
The usb ports were downgraded to usb 1.1 or something.
And when you need other computers in order to get it to work, I would say it is poor support.

I can't do productivity work on a Mac because the apps don't exist. Most of the games I like have no Mac versions. So do I buy a terribly expensive computer that is only pretty for maybe 5% of my computer time that can be still done by a PC? Which I can buy three for the cost of one Mac?

When Macs were using PPC Adobe was optimizing hard for PPC, which resulted in better performance because PPC had advantages over x86.

Once Apple dropped PPC Adobe was left with x86. Now the entire Adobe Suite runs just as well on Windows as it does on OSX, sometimes better.

Ricing is easy as fuck, just run around installing different themes and different sets of wallpapers and maybe some extensions.

For the most part I have most of what I need, great music players, movies, VM's in case I need to test something or run something in a more stable environment, LibreOffice, and most of all Steam which has a rising amount of games that work natively quite well, most of the software I use is FOSS.

of course I am sometimes concerned with things breaking if I mess around with packages or some config settings, but that's because I"m mostly still quite a noob, all it takes though are some full disk backups or BTRFS with snapshots or some other thing I have yet to hear about.

Any computer or laptop that is your own can be called a PC.

>>61395365
PC specifically refers to any computer that's IBM PC-compatible. Macs are PC's since 2006, since the hardware is the exact same as any other x86 PC. PowerPC Macs weren't technically PC's since they weren't compatible with x86 PC software. (The PC in PowerPC stands for "Performance Computing," not "Personal Computer.")

I've had both numerous times. I've had anything from a $3k MBP with Retina Display to a MacBook Air to an Asus ROG to a shitty Dell Inspiron.

I had a lot of fun with my MBP and Air. The backlit keyboard was great at night and the screen looked amazing. The Asus was more trouble than anything since it needed three repairs before I got the MacBook Air and that broke as well (screen cracked)

If I were to get another PC that were prebuilt, it would be the Razer Blade Pro. If Mac, the latest MBP.

No but you're a virgin

Linux aside, lets not pretend that the Unix operating system is not better than some trash Microsoft brewed up. mac any day of the week. Chromebook flip if you know what you are doing.

Mac's get bitches. PC's do not. No one cares about how large of a Steam library you have or what specs you've got.

people used to say mac was more aesthetically pleasing than pc and PC turned it's boxy aesthetic into a novelty through vaporwave. PC has already won.

>>61395231
I would argue macs are easier but at this point even Linux is easier (when it doesn't break)

>>61395805
Chromebooks are the epitome of comfy. I'm still using one from 2013 and it's somehow only getting faster and more stable with time.

Because the devs expect you to be computer literate and be able to type a few commands

I do printer and scanner tech support for both.

PC users = Either really (and I mean really) fucking stupid or actually tech savvy and calling in with complex issues. Windows 7 a best. Windows 8 and 10 are a fucking nightmare to support without remote access. Especially since the metro interface on 10 breaks more things than it fixes. However, much easier to troubleshoot since I know most of the shortcuts by now to get deeper into the OS.

Mac users = Middle of the line, generally more uppity and affluent, but jfc I get so many mac users who won't shut the fuck up about how much they love their macs and can't even do basic fucking shit like navigate through finder. I get some people who use them for graphic design with high end photos printer, and those customers tend to be either really nice or straight up assholes. It's frustrating as fuck when OSX just decides to shit itself and stop working for no reason and the customer starts yelling at me saying "I paid XXX amount of bucks for this overpriced facebook machine WHY WON'T IT JUST WORK" and it's something really bizarre within CUPS or ICA that just refuses to work no matter how many times I fix disk permissions or delete and reinstall the library pkgs

TL;DR: Windows is easy to fix but shitty to support on later versions. Macs easy to support but shitty to fix and have the most annoying customers (except for the really hot college girls, I just flirt with them) Pic related

That Macs are better for graphic design is a shitty meme that needs to die already.

Yes, every girl's dream is to be hit on by a fat IT cave troll telling her about the latest Naruto episode.

This is the reason I go to the Microsoft store instead. Always less crowded and they have more fun stuff to play with like the vive.

The difference is the Anon got to organize his programs in their own categories. This is just a general all applications view.

The Launchpad has a search bar at the top so you don't have to go through all the pages to find what you want.
It's easier to use the Launchpad or Spotlight to open applications than going into the Applications folder.

Both. I like Macs more as a portable computer.

Windows has a package manager? Since when? Please don't say choclatey

Chocolatey is a complete mess filled with duplicate entries.

You probably could with Bedrock Linux, but fucking why would you?

Nice meme.
