What's it like using mac?

| >>415628 hello holier than thou person, you must be so special, you must be living the life, i want to be just like you
| It's horrible
Had to do it because of a designer job
| comfy after a while but multitasking is ass. I've never been able to adapt to tiling WMs either. other than that the general UX experience is worth the 0$ I paid to hackintosh my laptop.
| Used to be great, now it is meh.
| It is like fuck urself hard

Same story here. I had to tweak it two days long to work productive on it. My boss didn't want me to put linux on it, even thought it would have only taken two hours to install and configure it.
I also had to convert the ressources I should work with from some shitty adobe format into svg. How do "designers" batch processing on closed formats? I'm afraid alot of them do it manually over hours instead using a bash for loop with sed, which is done under one minute.

Why are /u/ people so oversensitive? Can't visit a board full of assholes? Is this your first day outside facebook? Welcome to the world of free unmoderated community. Learn to benefit from it.
Nobody cares about your feelings, so you should stop caring about word abuse. Both are trash noise that is filtered.

>free and unmoderated
Hahahahaha, last time I check, /tech/ was crying about windows posts and mod had to step in and threaten ban
Yeah, totally free if no one are allowed to ruin your safespaces
| Better than Linux.

Like 2-3 months ago? Linux circlejerk was going as usual and then (I think) some users got really agitated by "simple windows questions that people post so often". When someone is so mad about something, ofc it will bait people to do exactly that. There were a few troll topics about windows problems. Then posts like these were made.

| Mod posts are colored so you can just skim through those topics.
| OS X used to be a really solid UNIXy environment that one could have fun with. From the start Apple seem to have had it out for their own OS, it's really weird.
| >>416365 holy crap. I just read the three banned threads you've linked and I find the vitriol amazing. Y'all need to chill the fuck out.
| Honestly it's not that much different than, say, ubuntu. If you need to run a specific program that only runs on macOS, then it's pretty easy to use. Most things really do "Just Werk" but there are some small items that will strangle the linux devotee's creativity. Use it if you must; if you don't have to then why not just use linux?
| i used to use a mac for a graphic design class. the one thing i noticed was that in almost every program on a mac, you can search the menus from the help menu. i love that feature, its probably saved me hours of time.
other than that, i am completely ambivalent towards macOS.
| >>415574 I like it, install brew learn the gestures (three fingers left or right to switch desktops) and use the multi desktop feature, bad things are it thinks it knows what you want to do better than you do ex. Can't connect to smb on 127.0.0.1 but I was running everything through a ssh tunnel so that would have been my server, which I solved by setting up another ip as a loopback and it worked
| Battery life of osx on a MacBook is better than Linux from what I've read, also install iterm2 it's far better than the default terminal

I mean, if it's in the rules of /tech/, go post on /u/ of you're going to behave in an uncivilized way.
Why not be glad about mods giving you a hint when you're breaking a rule ? They could just silence you.
Also OSX is nice, and since the hardware is consistent, it makes it easier to develop smooth software (audio workstation for example).
| >>416654 so because I pointed out and linked those /tech/ breakdowns, I must br the one that made uncivilized post in there? Nice windows logic, gurl.
I was there, just enjoying my popcorn. Plus, both sides partook in that uncivilized posts. Go read them, don't pretend like one side did nothing wrong.
| >>416668
Wonderful, I can now fully grasp the civilized ways in which you are proficient.
I don't pretend any "side" or whatever did or did not do anything. But I'm not going to be a despicable g/u/rl and do anything which would be considered uncivilized.
Also nice bait.
Enjoy the popcorn.
