Gamer here, use Linux cause proton is good and I’m fed up with windows lolThis is probably an old meme. I use Linux as a dedicated gaming OS, macOS for everything else except when Linux is already booted or nothing is and I want to do something quickly.
Why not Linux for everything else? Art apps?
Because I just prefer macOS more. And Safari is good.
In my case, Inventor and AutoCAD. I hate AutoDesk with the fury of a thousand suns, but FreeCAD just isn’t stable enough.
Oh, and currently needing .NET automatic source generation (long story), which is very difficult to develop on anything other than Windows.
I kind of really dislike the notion that you only use Linux because you are too poor for Apple.
I don’t use Apple because I don’t like to be stuck in a walled garden where a company decides what’s best for me.
I know it’s just a meme, but I think too many people actually think Linux is somehow inferior to Apple (MacOS) while I think it’s the other way around.
You’re confusing iOS, where you are in a walled garden, with macOS, where you can just do whatever the hell you want (There’s a recovery partition you can boot to where you can disable just about every bit of security that’s not hardware much like booting to grub in Linux)
You’re right, although I wouldn’t be surprised that at some point MacOS will have a mandatory app store to protect you.
When MacOS users can snap windows to the edge of their screens and quit apps by hitting the red button we can have a chat about what the better desktop experience is
snap windows to the edge of their screens
While it’s not a feature out of the box, there is software to add this functionality to macOS. But… same on Linux. You need to install that software if you want the feature. (Gnome/i3/other choice with this functionality.) So 🤷♂️
The most popular software to do that is proprietary and you have to buy it. For Apple you are only a demi-sentient wallet and they are constantly trying to dry you up. I hate that with a passion.
Okay. Is that software owned by Apple, you mean? Or only available through their store?
What about the next, or second next popular software to do that? All proprietary and cost money?
Just curious.
Also. MacOS is absolute garbage. I’ve used it for 4 months now, and it pisses me off how inconsistent it is, and poorly designed and written. Two days wasted because of an almost bricked laptop because the monitor was set to 60Hz while installing an update. Just think about that.
I also had the misfortune of booting into windows after changing a motherboard. It was an absolute shit show there too, with broken drivers. Two hours of debugging. Had to use a long ethenet cable to even start fixing it, a flashback to a Linux experience I had in 2007.
Same system in Linux? Not a single second spent. WiFi drivers, microcode. Everything worked fine. Only thing necessary was fixing the grub/mbr partition that Windows decided to write over, on a separate drive. But that’s also Microsoft being shit.
People just don’t know how much more usable Linux is these days. Especially for power users. You can do so many things, so easily, that either works out of the box, or you can do with simple scripting. The only issue is software availability, but that too is mostly a thing of the past, and not really a fault of the OS.
Do you fear God?
Yes -> TempleOS
In puberty? Hannah Montana Linux.
Kim Jong Un is god? Red Star OS. There’s a Linux distro for everyone.
Linux gamer here
Works no probs
Wrong. I’ve ran into a ton of issues recently with proton. Don’t act like it’s flawless. It needs a lot of work.
most of us that gave up windows did so because it had tons of issues. Don’t act like windows is flawless, MS stopped putting in work.
Are you rich?Are you bad with money?
Worth every penny IMO, MacOS is super nice and so is the hardware.
(I don’t have a mac, wish I did though).
Cue the apple hater replies, this will be fun.
Mac was fantastic in the '80s
Mac was great in the "90s
Mac was good in the '00s
Linux Mint was fantastic in the '10s
Ok but it’s the 20s and I want to run apps that are only on new chip MacOS computers and i don’t have one what do I do, saaave me linukz
ARM compatibility is still shit. All actually useful desktop apps are still primarily x86-64, the compatibility layer Rosetta is hit or miss, everything is proprietary and expensive, and Apple decided the Pro model should only have 8GB for a shit ton of money. Apple is overpriced trash in the '20s.
Just because you’re bad with money does not mean you can afford an Apple product.
I’m actually curious what BSD provides in comparison to Linux. What does it add, do better, or worse?
The only thing I know is that they introduced some stuff way before linux did, but that’s simply due to the age. BSD jails for example have been around for a long time. Buy beyond that, it was never apparent to me why linux took off and BSD didn’t.
Bsd is a complete package and tested as such. All the software and everything. It’s like windows, when it’s released you install it and you get wordpad, edge, calculator etc. Bsd is the same that way. Linux is just a kernel, with the distributions bolting on the gnu software. I know it sounds kinda the same but it’s not.
Also the license. With Linux I think you need to cite it’s use and you can’t charge for something build with it (of course there’s exceptions, like packages you create do not need to be for example), but bsd license is the most permissive. You can charge a customer for it and dress it up however you want.
No systemd.
There’s some other stuff too
Thanks, that’s the best explanation I’ve gotten so far 👍
