    This meme is old enough to drink.

    I tried to drink it but nothing happened? Maybe next year

    I was curious so I checked.

    Aqua OS X logo is 2001-2007.

    MS Vista - 7 Logo is 2006-2020.

    Seems like you are correct it if the meme creator used the most recent logos at the time. So 17 or 18 years old.

    MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

    [–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

    Idk why people say “pay a premium”. MacBook Air is like $1000 bucks. Other laptops are also in this range.

    Also, you’re never going to spend a second worrying about making the thing work or fixing an error. Even Windows requires fixing problems and installing drivers sometimes. I guess it depends on how you value your time. I’ve spent hours on linux and windows troubleshooting. I’ve never spent a second on macOS.

    [–] bali10050@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

    Not all people can afford a $1000 laptop, and in most countries, it's considered as a really big price

    Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

    Given that's actually the only way to do it... (Without resorting to jumping through hoops via emulation)

    I've switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it's genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn't run like a furnace, even under load

    [–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.

    [–] IllNess@infosec.pub 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    MacBooks are great. You can still run Linux on it if you still want to use the hardware.

    Or you can try OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

    What is OpenCore?

    The m1 Mac mini when it launched for about a solid 18-24mo was the single best deal at the time (largely due to the insane GPU price hike admittedly but still very powerful objectively for the price). Very weird to say that but honestly it’s true. The minis are still very robust for the price.

    I might be an idiot, but I'm not going to use a Mac.

    This meme also perpetuates the myth that to use Linux you must be an IT person. I just use it as a user.

    [–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    This meme has the logos of the OSs from around 2007. Back then there weren't many Linux non-IT users.

    [–] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    I miss those old logos, the new ultra flat ultra simple logos are just so uninteresting compared to that era

    This may be a hot take, but I don't think that on a linux specific meme community we should really care about what puts linux into a good light and what doesn't. I mean have you seen vegancirclejerk? We are here to laugh and that can be achived by self-deprecating humor or parodying what others think of our system of choice as well.

    I am self aware enough to know that I am an idiot, but still use Linux and Windows.

    Take that, flow chart!

    [–] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

    2024 version: Are you an idiot? Windows Do you swim in money? Mac No? Linux

    [–] lengau@midwest.social 19 points 3 months ago (4 children)

    Wait I'm an idiot who has a life. Why am I on Linux?

    [–] palordrolap@kbin.run 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    I'm not sure there's a way to answer that without being unnecessarily mean.

    I’ve used Mac OS since 1988, BSD/UNIX since 1990, Linux since 1993 and Windows since 1995.

    Due to my expertise with all these operating systems, I make enough money to have a life.

    I predominantly use Apple hardware, partly because I can easily run all these OSes on it.

    The Intel "cheese grater" pros were a dream multi-boot machine. EFI, clean, capable of great RAM, nice drive bays, dual ethernet.

    [–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    I would switch MacOS and Microsoft. You really have to be an idiot to install that malware onto your computer voluntarily. MacOS is much safer and if you still have the need for shenanigans you have a Unix terminal to play with.

    [–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    you have to be an idiot to pay that much for something that locked down and unserviceable.

    So wait... Since I use both linux and a mac I'm a no life idiot? Yep, checks out.

    [–] Humorless4483@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

    I have a life and that’s why I use Linux because I don’t have 3h to wait for a single forced windows update

    [–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago (4 children)

    But I can't afford a Mac :(
