Linux desktop is a mess. Imagine a perfect OS. It would be running

>It would be running pure UNIX in the background
MacOS under the hood is just FreeBSD with some GNU mixed in and bolted onto a shitty kernel that was made as an academic experiment and abandoned when it useless. Literally the only thing formally "Unix" about it is that they paid to use the brand.

>user friendly, elegant, beautiful graphical interface
Not everyone cares how pretty their buttons are. Even Wincucks are more mature than that. And you can rice things up if you really care that damn much, you download an archive and click a button in a settings panel.

>With beautiful fonts and everything just working out of the box
Yeah, works so well out of the box that half of the App Store is redundant little usability hacks like window managing tools.

There is no such thing as an "out of the box" OS for anyone who does more than spreadsheets and porn, and as any desktop thread will indicate, MacOS users aren't as concerned with real productivity as they claim.

Doesn't MacOS use a bunch of old deprecated software?

elements of BSD, not GNU (but u could install gnu core utilities too). I dont even know why am i taking this bait srsly
Your god damn right OP, i made the swap back in 2015 to a mbp and wont look back. Got a windows machine too for gaming and mess around with. Pretty confy setup

What gave him away?
Was it the perfect OS?
Pure UNIX?
Elegant, beautiful graphical interface?
Beautiful fonts?
Everything just working out of the box?
Or all of them?

>>61808810

OSX stopped being after Mavericks

yea, but mac people don't mind because they only use social media.

>Pure UNIX?
You do realize UNIX certification is a placebo piece of paper that sells for money, right?

>>61808908
You're debating with a mac person. They wouldn't know pure unix if they could read code.

Are you telling me this is the year of linux on desktop?

>>61809020
Nah, their quality control agent / marketer died a while back.

I use a MBP for work and I honestly do not like it, not just OSX but the laptop itself. Would much rather have a Thinkpad and something like Ubuntu or Debian.

There are some GNU utilities, but most are FreeBSD and the coreutils are 100% FreeBSD last time I checked.

No, I don't like art pieces. I like heavy technical tools that getter-done.

What's with linux fags and not having icons on desktop like a red blooded male would?

>>61806642
>running pure UNIX
Not even close. Stop throwing buzzwords around that you don't understand. It's a big mess of BSD, GNU, Mac OS 9, and NeXTSTEP components.

>user friendly, elegant, beautiful graphical interface
Trackpad scrolling is backwards and the window controls are inane.

>With beautiful fonts
The fonts are mediocre. Better rendering than Winshit but still unimpressive.

>and everything just working out of the box
You have to install a new terminal emulator, a new browser, a newer version of Bash, a torrent client, a new music player, a photo editing application, etc. Each update it downloads the entire OS.

OS X is a piece of shit. Saged because fuck you, shill.

>>61806642
>With beautiful fonts
Fonts are the one thing no Linux distro seems to get right. The only one that even comes close is ubuntu, and even then, it's still not very good. But when every other distro looks like shit out of the box, I suppose it's an achievement.

It's not like they just throw money at Open Group and calls OS X "UNIX," Apple develops their OS to meet thousands of pages of specifications then pays for the test certifying that OS X is UNIX.

>>61808908
>Not even close
Couldn't be closer, actually.
>Trackpad scrolling is backwards
No, the scrolling is correct. If you want the dumb way you're free to change the settings.
>and the window controls are inane.
Subjective.

this isn't the Apple Terminal app you dumb fucks

it's iTerm2, yell at them

Just report this paid FUD and ignore it. Stop giving these goddamn anti-GNU paid morons attention, idiots.

>>61806642
OSX is not pure unix. It's a weird mix of BSD, Mach and NeXTSTEP.

Redox is more Unix than Macshit, it has a microkernel arch

exactly what i expected from a macfag

But UNIX is genuinely bad

The fetishistic obsession with the research OS is fucking stupid. It's the x86 of OS architectural design philosophies.

Plan 9 is os of my dream, not this crap

>>61806885

just run MacPorts for anything you need to update
