OS X ricing doesn't exist. The ones you see in desktop threads only make their desktops look pretty. Everything else is either stock or an inconsistent mix of stock and whatever they're using.

Along with 256 colors, tabs, UTF-8 support, selectable scrollback buffer settings without needing to restart, live theming and keybinds so you don't have to look up colorcodes manually, and so on. urxvt needs patches for UTF-8, 256 colors and tabs.

Macbooks are fine and obviously OS X works well on them, gets the most battery life out of them etc.
The default way it works however is just annoying, it seems everything tries to get in your way, and almost all utility is stripped away from the default programs because muh minimalism.
I gave OS X a chance but there was nothing special about it to convince me to keep using it. The only advantage over GNU/Linux was that OS X has a lot of professional software for it.

I agree, even multi platform programs like VLC and uTorrent look better on OS X and fit in with the theme, uTorrent didn't even have ads when I tried it.
There are some distros like Ubuntu and elementary that have very well put together themes and default programs that look almost as seamless as OS X, but honestly it doesn't bother me that much.
I also liked that Yosemite used all of the available RAM unlike Windows and GNU/Linux.
Right now I'm using Mint and it's it's a joy to use, Cinnamon applets are useful, and the OS is just sitting there in the background with everything exactly where you expect it to be.

>windows forces updates every time you shut down
What the fuck is up with this myth? I've had Windows 8.1 for a month now and never had to update anything. I just turned updates off. Whoever started this rumour was obviously retarded and didnt know how to use a computer.
>>45465893
The majority of OS X is opensource.
https://opensource.apple.com/
Enough that you can have a fully working system from what Apple has released alone. The only closed sourced components are the UI components which can be supplemented with X and core Audio which can be supplemented with an audio server of your choice.
The kernel and userland are all there and there's macports for your software needs.
>>45465896
I'm legitimately impressed if that's built-in by default
>>45465921
>just turn updates off
That's not a good solution to the problem, Windows is the only OS that has to restart for all OS updates, not just kernel ones but all. Sometimes it needs to restart for userland software, this is just unacceptable.
>>45465935
OS X has a lot of handy features, my favorites are quicklook and spotlight. Spotlight lets you easily learn where a command in an application is, you can then use your mouse to select it, learn the keybind for it or just use your applications like some kind of cli interface where you type all your commands. Nice and versatile.
>>45465875
I tried cinnamon, its a solid DE. I enjoyed using it. Pantheon (elementary's DE) was a great experience, it was light weight, fast, had only the barebones of a simple DE. The theme was great. I tried to change it, but I always came back to the default because it was just so nice.
>>45465956
Thats because the file system is shit for windows. Changes to permissions or files being moved have to have the registry edited. Which the registry isn't updated until the computer restarts.
>>45465956
Not only that, but M$ can force you to update even if you setting is "download but don't install automatically". The only way to prevent M$ from forcing an update in windows 7 is to disable updates completely. I'm not sure it's possible to prevent M$ from force-updating you in windows 8+.
>>45465980
Yeah, there's no doubt OS X was built for functionality. Good shit.
>>45465994
That needs to get updated.
>>45465989

The majority of people (though not all) on here are very strange people. Most of them are socially dysfunctional. Many don't have regular employment or money, so they are forced to use lower tier computers and gadgets. I would say with a pretty high degree of confidence that most people here have never slept with a girl.
These people HATE those who they perceive to be successful in life, or even those who are just relatively normal (hence the term "normalfag"). They seethe with jealous rage and live their entire lives festering in bitterness at those who get to enjoy emotions such as happiness and triumph and companionship in their lives. This is why they hate Apple. Apple are the ultimate symbol of everything that the /g/ dweller despises - success, being socially well-adjusted, enjoying life, etc.
So yeah. My advice to you is this: get out of here while you can.

When you encrypt a drive it always has to check for permissions and constantly check if you have entered the password for the files. Plus it has to unencrypt the files, and then reencrypt. So short answer, yes its going to be slow. On Windows, Mac, or Linux.

Oh wow thanks for the suggestions /g/ents, I'll try them out.
SMPlayer has been a good enough video player, just a little bit buggy, and I still prefer PotPlayer as it has a lot more features and customizability.
I don't need something as minimalist as mpv, and bloat doesn't bother me that much since I have a decent machine SSD and all.
I've got a 2011 Macbook. Paid extra for the matte screen and everything. It's nice except the sd card reader broke and started just scratching cards after about 5 uses, and the eject key is all soft and weird now but it still works. Osx works but there are so many little thing that Linux and Windows does but it doesn't which can be fucking infuriating. Constant beach balling with the new osx unless you have an ssd, the fucking home and end keys don't do anything with Apple text editors, and a bunch of other stupid shit that doesn't make any sense.
I will never understand why if you have an external mouse plugged in, just moving the mouse will wake it up from sleep, but if the thing is on and the display is asleep you have to physically click to get that up.
Osx is fine, but apple shills are some of the worst around.
>>45466377
It's the same as any other *nix system with X so you could leverage an Arch or Gentoo guide. For OS X specifically I forget how you disable aqua and boot right into Xquartz since I don't like that myself but I know it's easily doable, Google around. If you want a native tiling WM for OS X there's Amethyst but people say it's not that great.

That's not the point at all, you're not always the one closing a program, for example when Windows shuts down it will close all running applications and throw all those save prompts in the same place, including those from different programs.
>>45466406
Yosemite runs fine even from an old HDD if you have a lot of RAM (8GB at least), however it takes over a minute to load since it fills the memory up entirely.
>>45466403
Actually, mpv has more features and customizability than anything else you mentioned. Of course, the majority has nothing to do with the GUI, but with the actual backend.
>>45466445
I never typed "fag" or "fags" anywhere in this entire thread. I don't know what you're even talking about.
>>45466454
it tells you right in that save dialogue box which window title you are saving
>>45466456
I've got 8 gigs, hell even opening the finder takes a couple seconds, and opening system prefs take like fucking 10 seconds
>>45466487
What's your point? The whole issue is that you can have 2 versions of the same document open at one time. Even if you knew the filename and application you wouldn't know which window (and as such which version of the file) it was associated with.
>>45466500
I tested it from an old 320GB HDD on a low-end Celeron powered machine and it ran just fine other than the abysmal boot times.
I have a MBP Retina, it's great.
The only thing I hate about owning, not even about the laptop itself, but all the people who "hate" macs themselves.
I'll overheard a few people talking to people who own Mac products, and are just like "hurr durr how you're beach ball of death?? hmmmm?", and the typical "Macs suck! Juts 'cause...".
>>45466514
considering you cannot save more than one thing at a time, the entire 'issue' is completely trivial

>>45466542
What? It can and will prompt you to save multiple files at one time, that's the entire issue. If you have 2 or more revisions of the file you don't know which one it's targeting. How are you not understanding this?
Furthermore it doesn't even show up near the window, at the vert least why doesn't it spawn within the bounds of the window it's attached to? If you close multiple documents you can't tell which is which, webm related.
I don't know why you're even defending this.
>>45466237
>Linux majority board
>>45466650
oh yeah now i know what you mean. why do i defend it? because i have never had this problem. sounds like a user error to me.
the best part is, that response is exactly what you would get if you complained about an osx feature.
learn to deal with it, just like ive learned to deal with all the wacky shit osx does
>>45466645
What are you clicking that you couldn't click in a terminal, isn't IRC just all text?

>>45466693
Not even a big flaw, this is something that could be fixed easily but isn't. Just spawning the dialogue box inside the Window would be fine.
>>45466349

>>45466693
I'm sure all of the people who open and close 10 different notepad documents are constantly wishing they were using osx.

In later versions of TextEdit, it says "Edited" in the window titlebar instead.

You sound like some kind of Windows apologist. All I did was point out a simple flaw that's easily fixable, you proceeded to get confused and complain to me about it.

Now you're jabbing at me for actually giving you patience by calling it complaining? You really do have a shit attitude.

>Apple are the ultimate symbol of everything that the /g/ dweller despises - success, being socially well-adjusted, enjoying life, etc.
Hatred of Apple has more to do with their design decisions being in line with what you'd see in the movie Idiocracy. The operating system is obviously not meant for people who care about technology. I think that has more to do with why the more neckbeard part of /g/ bashes it.
>>45466782
i wasnt the original person, but good job getting angry about something so stupid
how about osx not being able to clamshell without being plugged in, or requiring dedicated GPU to be used to an external monitor if you have both. or how about mouse movement being able to wake the computer up, but you have to click it to actually wake up a display that is asleep. or how about not being able to sort folders on top alphabetically with everything else below them?
you know, all simple flaws with simple fixes for osx which i have learned to deal with every day?
>>45465896

As a Windows user I couldn't give two shits about OS X's flaws. I'm more concerned about the fact they fixed this issue with explorer but didn't fix it system wide. If you attempt to open a directory that's already opened in a new window it will just raise the old window. Meanwhile any other application will spawn a new instance and let you make conflicting changes then throw confusion at you if you try to close all workspace windows.
Why not be annoyed with an issue that is easily fixed? You're treating it like it doesn't exist at all.
>doesn't bother me so it shouldn't bother you

I judge products based on their merit not on something as insignificant as a license. Make a good OSS product and I'll use it but it being OSS doesn't inherently contribute anything of value.

>>45467108
Not all closed source software has monetary value but does have intrinsic merit. As for the freedom to modify and redistribute someone elses product, that's a whole different issue. Personally I feel like that's their decision, I'm not so selfish that I demand the right to hand over their creation to the public, would I like that? Of course, but it's their choice if they want to do that.
>>45467071
>ur a fgt
>>45467155
I thought I did.
qtdev and Vim are not a suitable replacement for xcode. I personally use Vim as my editor and xcode for my analyzer and debugger.
Photoshop being not exclusive is not a valid point here when the person is suggesting GNU as an alternative, i.e. a platform that does not have that product.
Ardour seems like just another DAW.
Lightworks is trash imo and kdenlive is not an applicable alternative considering its simplicity compared to other editors in this scope.
All of this is highly subjective, the initial objective point is that OS X can run all of that where GNU cannot. The gain here is that you have the choice to pick what you like regardless of what it is, with GNU you're limited to a smaller selection of software you may or may not like.
Fair enough?

Op this is what you're gonna do (if you don't want a neckbeard DE/WM)
1. Spectacle
2. Install homebrew
3. git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles
read throught the script and edit it!!!! you're not supposed to run the whole thing blindly, it makes some very opinionated decisions
4. LiteIcon, get yourself some nice icons I like http://ccard3dev.deviantart.com/art/Dynamic-Icons-for-Yosemite-Apple-Apps-460428519
5. go to activity monitor and type Cmd-Shift-/-dock-cpu-history
6. change terminal to zenburn master race
A lot of people use iTerm2, but it does like 10fps on my 2009 laptop. If you do use it, remember that cmd clicking on urls opens them in a browser.
?. get flux
In Settings-General set appearance to graphite and highlight color to graphite. The colored close/minimize icons are annoying as fuck
?. move dock to a side
OS X is inherently better than Windows and Linux in every way.

OS X is made for people that do. The only reason game developers shun Mac is because of Microsoft's "friendly contributions". There will come a time when consumers and developers will realize the full potential of Steve Job's legacy.

I didn't care so much about FOSS/OSS until working in software and seeing how fucking stupid it is the way we operate. Companies profit off of restricting the user as much as possible. That is why consoles are so important, that is why tablets are so important. A closed platform lets Microsoft charge Xbox owners owners to watch Netflix. It allows for preferential treatment of Internet Exploder (would not exist if not bundled). The company I worked at was trying to pull the same shit just at a smaller scale: price our product low but control the platform so that people have to go through us and pay to get anything done. Additionally, a massive amount of programmer effort is wasted on encryption and bullshit to make sure people can't get our content for free. All of this bullshit is only possible due to proprietary licenses, otherwise the customer could manhandle what they bought however they wanted.
In this case you can present the argument that going FOSS/OSS is dangerous because the company loses profit. But often it costs the business nothing. They should open source by default, and only stop when there's an obvious reason not to.
Idk man writing closed source code just feels gross to me, almost makes me not want to develop software, knowing it's only used to fuck people over, and they're so oblivious to it
>>45467678
I'm not saying I approve of the decision to close source your software nor do I approve of such tactics, I'm simply saying I will not write something off just because it is as such. Practicality trumps all for me and many. The more important overlying thing is that I care about the authors freedom to do so, they have the right to make that choice and I'm not going to cast judgment on their products for their personal choices, I judge the product on usefulness at the time only.
>>45467771
>anthropomorphizing businesses like a fucking furry
Companies are not people and so do not have "personal choices", they're strictly business choices aimed to maximize profits. You're protecting executive's pockets, not programmers. We would love to be allowed to open source our code.
(I'm exaggerating my stance on this topic but I'm bored)
>>45467957
I'm not talking about business exclusively, you are. Either way I care about the freedom of everyone whether they work in a business or not.
>We would love to be allowed to open source our code.
You shouldn't speak for all programmers.
Some faggots would rather you not see their source.

Sorry for late reply, but I do not understand this. When you set up windows, you can let it know to inform you of updates, but allow it to let you pick which ones to install. I also don't see how it functions better. It runs smooth yeah, but so does windows. So can you tell me where it runs smoother? Quite interested in knowing.
>>45465842
So is it just mainly for programmers? I understand that this whole virus thing has to do with it as well, seeing as UNIX is more secure. But is that about it, or am I missing something?
>>45465896
That is rather impressive, but I can do that in Windows as well, and it looks better, with the fraction not being in that manner, as well as the limit. I do tons of reports for my structure class and my physics class, and I have always used MS Word, which works fine, and looks better than that. But I will not deny that it would be useful if they changed the manner in which it was used. It is impressive.
