Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Do you like to throw money at your problems and more money when you're told: 🍎
Do you have a nonconsensual submissive kink with a love for sadistic roughly forced updates destroying what you were working on and ads shoved deep up your home directory: 🪟
Do you like free stuff and can RTFM: 🐧
why RTFM when you can
sorry for the brainrot
Well if your definition of "working" is "can run all the important programs and game" then anything thats not windows or linux wont work.
Honestly. I got a work mac and now I can't run notepad++. I'm stuck with an ide I hate.
Use TextEdit for .txt and .rtf, and get Sublime Text, VS Codium, or any of the other bazillion IDEs out there until you find one you can tolerate. Helix does that for me. (:
Working computer - >Mac
Should have been:
Do you have more money than brains?->Mac
Or
Fuck this, I'm doing this for shit and giggles. ->Mac
Is my employer paying for it? ➔ 🍎
The best thing about quitting was returning that damned Mac... Hated every second of using it, horrid UX.
Do you like being spied on and having your data sold?
=> Windows or ChromeOS
Do you have too much money?
=> Mac
Do you have a decent set of working brains?
=> Linux
Too true. MacOS is the one place you can get a UNIX toolchain in a stable environment. If something works on my Mac, it works on my coworker’s Mac. If something works on Ubuntu but you’re using Nix… Uh, YMMV.
I love Linux, but if you’re gonna use it as a desktop OS, you pretty much accept that you now have a part-time job keeping up on Linux news to deal with the fact that each component of your system is in a perpetual state of “deprecated support for The Old Way, and experimental support for The New Way”.
Our Mac colleague is literally the only one in the dev team having constant troubles, constantly spinning up VMs to get stuff working.
Yeah, if you have a mixed dev team then I’m sure the odd ones out are gonna have the most trouble.
My point was more that if you have a team of all Macs or a team of all Linux, I’m much more confident in stuff working on everyone’s machine in the Mac scenario.
Even if you stretch it to “the Mac users get to customize the hell out of their machines, and the Linux users only do the minimum to get a fully functional dev environment”, I think the Macs end up in a more consistent state.
Every Flatpak, Snap, and AppImage works on every Linux system I’ve tried.
I love Linux as well, but there’s always something you didn’t know about that breaks, and it’s up to you to figure out what broke and how to fix it.
I’ve had the problem for a while now that the audio is set to the wrong output after screen lock, and I have given up on finding a fix for it.
So I'm switching to TempleOS.
TempleOS, huh? Better give it a try then.
It's an amazing piece of technology made as a hobby project by the absurdly talented Terry Davis. He gradually lost his world, house and evetually his life to debilitating mental illness, so it makes me sad to see posts like this using "mentally unstable lol" as a punchline.
Where is BSD? I feel like there are still steps before you reach TempleOS.
Hey! I have a life. It just wholly revolves around my computer.
I want it; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS
Man, this guy's wiki background ends on a banger.
" In mid-2013, his website announced: "God's temple is finished. Now, God kills CIA until it spreads [sic]."[6]
Davis died after being hit by a train on August 11, 2018.[7]"
RIP king.
I tried to be unbiased, but failed. Apple and Linux should be switched.
I don't know about macOS, but from experience, neither Linux nor Windows are actually "just works". Although it will depend on distro, I definitely have different experience on Arch and Manjaro than say Mint users. Mint worked for me well, although older dependencies have also killed "just works" a few times.
So am I too crazy for 🐧?
I am not at all mentally stable, but was planning on starting my switch in January.
I love how controversial this one is.
It is shite to bully TempleOS's creator.
But it doesn't surprise me.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Now do all the Linux distros.
