Unix capability and your bsd toolset alongside muh GUI. Same OS and support so easy file passing and shit.

alright larpers it's time to get out, i have op's answer
the reason people have macs around is because there's this fucking fucking budget thing

the person making the hardware buying decisions, he needs to spend all of the allotted budget he has, every fucking year
why? because if he ever doesn't use all of his budget in a year, then the beancounters are going to say to him next year that the operating budget available is smaller
he needs to maintain a certain amount of spending every year, and if he can get things that look like they're useful and expensive to people that don't know fucking better, they'll think he's doing a good job

then next year, when shit actually hits the fan and he needs to buy a lot of essential hardware, fast, he fucking can because nobody slashed his fucking budget for this shit

CentOS is installed on the servers at work so Fedora is a natural choice because it is very similar. I can test simple configs and run scripts locally if I don't to waste time provisioning a test server in the cloud.

I like editing configs and programming in vim because Vim keybindings are dank, Vi/m is installed on all the boxes I work on by default so I dont have to edit files locally and then copy them over, and I can drop my config onto any box im working on from my github in a mater of seconds.

also a lot of the software I write tend to be command line tools because they are much simpler, faster to develop, and more easily integrated into automation systems.

>you can't ssh into a machine from macos/windows/any other os

you arent wrong about this one. DESU I would be using a Mac with iterm2 and local vagrant vms if I had it my way but the company I work for gave me a linux desktop so I use it.

Windows is totally out of the picture tho, putty is terrible, powershell is a different platform than what I work with and I prefer my OS to not be preloaded with spyware

>le status symbol

Jesus Christ you autistic retards, nobody outside of HERE sees computers as status symbols. Cars and clothing are what people usually look for in a person. There's plenty of rich bimbos who don't even have computers at all. Its no mystery why people who can, do buy Macs. MacOS itself is basically flawless and they just happen to run on Apple's own computers the best which are pretty decent as pieces of hardware themselves, still, what makes them great is MacOS. You really think executives at any company use Windwoes on their personal machine? I guarantee you all the higher-ups in Windows producing laptop companies have Macs at home. I doubt the people at Acer for instance actually use their own shitty products. Even Microsoft Surface teams do NOT look like they're actually using that, they're just trying to peddle it to everyone else for a paycheck. Nobody who's pampered with cash has the time or emotion to deal with Windows plebbery and OEM bullshit. Apple is the only manufacturer who you can speak to in person about an issue and have a real person help you. Don't mention IBM shit either, that's not for the average person.

Most people I work with with macs. I'm a senior systems engineer and devops meme bro in a huge environment, 10s of thousands of servers total. I only use iterm2, sublime text, vagrant, virtualbox, and chrome, but it's a solid OS with all the cli tools i need plus homebrew to install everything else.

I hated it at first but now I wouldn't use anything else. Even turned my Linux desktop at home into a hackintosh.

>hurdur das not for enterprise

Its the same thing, retard. If your Mac is mission critical you're going to have enterprise support. There is no 2 tiers, they're pointless. Normal tier, a plethora of online services or go to a physical store or authorized Apple repair place. If you're more important than that then you're on enterprise. Understand?
>>
>>62148389
>No other company can do BOTH
What? I just showed you a level of support that Apple can't match.

>Now THIS is moving the goal posts.
No it isn't. Dell does on-site support for both enterprise and home users. Apple doesn't. If they do, please show me.

>There is no 2 tiers
I didn't ask for 2 tiers, I asked for the same level of support at home and at work. Dell does this. Why would on-site be restricted to enterprise?

How can't Apple match those levels of support when they objectively have more resources than Dell? They have on-site and in-person centers all over the world? How could Dell possibly have more than this? Last I checked, there's no Dell shops around me. Unless you know of a service where they teleport some neckbeard to my door to fix my shit instantly.

About your second point, you're fucking fixating on the NAME of the service. If Apple will send someone to your house as an individual customer, does it fucking matter what they've called the service or are you just that dumb? What is the difference between 'X home user on-site support for $50/y' and 'X enterprise support for single customer for $50/y'? Please do tell me what the fuck the difference is other than what they're called in the brochure, retard.

Not him, but I either get a current MBP with an atrocious keyboard (yes, I'm sure after a year Stockholm Syndrome will have convinced me it's good), no Linux support and pay over 1k for it, or I get an old MBP that solves all those problems, but it's still too expensive for a 5 year-old second--or-third-hand laptop with bad battery life after going over hundreds of cycles.

>solid choice of package managers
This isn't a pro. The stock package manager (I'm being generous by calling it that) is such a piece of shit that you have to resort to brew, macports and 50 other scripts to do the work. Because God forbid you actually add a repo, like I can do on any distro.
The fact that you have to use different package managers is pretty bad desu. It's probably what I dislike the most about macOS.

Doing what you're doing is exactly what that one guy was doing when he kept saying "false equivalency" whenever someone argued with him. It's pathetic.

Not an argument.

No clue what you're talking about, but what would you suggest as a retort to the brilliant argument that he posted?

What hassle? What are you talking about?

Yeah, no.

what are you missing that is not on homebrew/macports/pkgsrc?
Fun fact pkgsrc is straight from BSD

GNU/Linux user here. I would use the terminal a lot on any OS. It's the best way I know how to work. Mac OS even comes with vim, emacs, and openssh out of the box, so acting like the terminal isn't worth using makes me wonder if you're actually a Windows user false-flagging.

The first link, which you definitely did not read or at least understand, lists a ton of non-issues.
Things like "we have too many distros" or "we have too many UI toolkits" then don't use all of them, why is distro X bad because Y exists, or why is GTK bad because Qt exists? Or complaints about lacking some hardware support, meanwhile macOS has WAY less hardware support.
Others are downright, completely wrong, like "no hidpi support". I use Fedora on a XPS 13 with a 3200x1800 screen. It has a higher DPI than any MBP ever made, and it scales perfectly fine. The author, a bit like you, has no clue of what he's saying.
Also, this isn't a comparison. You said "with none of the hassles of linux". "None". Are you seriously telling me I can't find a lot of these complaints in macOS?
If you want to post actual complaints you have then we can go from there, but if your only argument is something someone at your shill central found by google "why linux is bad", I'm really not going to bother.

>what are you missing that is not on homebrew/macports/pkgsrc?
The ability to change system packages. Show me how to change my kernel with brew, or add a repo that has a driver I can install and use.

>The command line is an extremely powerful and versatile tool that is largely the same across unix operating systems
Actually that is why someone should learn using the terminal. No matter how the UI looks, you can go to console and do work.
>>
>>62149924
One of the complaints was:
>There's no easy way to use software which is not offered by your distro repositories, specially the software which is available only as sources.
which is just retarded, especially coming from someone defending macOS where you have to install a whole different package manager to get something from another repo instead of adding the repo, like in any distro.

Thank you for proving you have no complaints.

MacOS has this too. You can't swap 2 single keys. Try switching left Cmd and caps lock, it's impossible. Only both Cmds with caps lock.

Keep being desperate.

Except it doesn't because you can change them with Seil. Including multilanguage. You sure are entertaining.
