Oh god.
Netflix doesn't work.
Steam doesn't work.
It's coming to an end. Apple's best operating system is finally dying. I can't handle it. I don't want ElionYosemiteSam cancer on my computer. What the fuck do I do?
Why did Apple go full shit after Snow Leopard. Everything EVERYTHING is worse.
It's time to upgrade to LE CAPITAN XDDD

It's better than Win OS X on a mac (Cause Apple + boot camp is probably the shittiest thing, i'd rather configure Arch linux on a 486 than try windows on bootcamp again )

It's slow as shit for starters. They made changes to applications that made them worse. They removed functionality for no reason. The additions were subtractions. 10.7 is the worst update in OSX history.
I bought my first MacBook this year and El Capitan has been absolutely flawless. It almost feels bad because I don't see OS X possibly being better than this.
Is this the /homosexual/ general?
>ITT: OP samefags hating post-10.6 OS X for no reason other than shitposting
>>51430278
They removed functionality in snow leopard like context menu plugins.
Literally every version they remove some shit and add other shit.

El Capitan is Yosemite's Snow Leopard
They're on the "every mini/fixed release is the good one" cycle now every since Leopard.
Do you have the choice to pick what you upgrade to or is it latest or GTFO?
I'm on 10.9.5 and pretty happy with it
God I loved Snow Leopard. Everything after it has just felt so stale.
>>51429608

I believe it was Windows that was literally forcing an os on their users. No?
Use windows. Or if you're a real faggot download some gay linux distro and pretend it's somehow superior to windows.
>>51430316
OSX still has context based menus though. They removed spaces for no reason. Pagers are something I consider mandatory for a desktop environment. Most of the terrible changes made to previous OSX applications I could live with, but what they did to the address book was unforgivable. The launcher was a completely worthless, ugly, and pointless addition which could have been merged into dashboard. The aesthetic design changes, in general, felt like they were made by a class of 6th graders.
>>51429608
10.6.8 has an eight in it
what did you expect
>>51431665
You can overtly force users to do as you want, or give them the illusion of choice as you slowly burn the bridge out from under them.
What's the difference? I suppose the second option gives Marketing & Propaganda more to work with, but it's the same in the end.

You know what. Fuck you. Your bullshit hanging on for dear life onto a goddamn old as f'crying out loud OS makes my and all other tech supporters shit because that shit doesn't fucking work anymore and has compatibility issues with every bloody new age service. Not to mention easy as shit things like AirDrop or AirPrint don't work with it not iCloud sync or goddamn app updates.
Update your god forsaken computer and I swear to God if you get some stupid for of adware (which your u already have more than likely) I hope you're idiotic enough to buy some sandnigger's 350$ support and get shafted for easy as all hell removal of temporary files
Also fuck bonjour.
>>51430450
you can install whatever you want if you find the DMG for it (not very hard), but Mac App Store only offers the latest version.
Upgrade to Mavericks, everything just werks and will werk for at least a couple of years. Don't listen to the shills, El Crap is still buggy as fuck.

my macbook 1.1 only supports snow leopard.
good thing i switched it to linux years ago and everything stays up to date and will do so for a long time.
>>51434102
Except it's fucking not.
I agree that Yosemite introduced a few annoyances, but it was a huge makeover after all. I view it more as a "release candidate" or even public beta if you will, but El Capitan is definitely finished. It's basically to Yosemite what Windows 7 was to Vista.
I have faster boot times, app launches and all default apps feel very finished and just werk™. And I'm glad they managed to rid of all the skeuorphism without making it look extremely boring like Windows 10.
>>51434220
good thing the hardware's good.
>>51434220
I did the same thing with my mid-2014 mbp after El Crapitan outright REMOVED support for /etc/fstab mounts and autofs which broke my NFS setup. It runs better with Fedora 23 than it ever ran with OS X.
>>51434198
Spaces was literally just renamed (and refined a bit) but multiple work spaces are very much still there. And I agree Launchpad is useless, but no one is forcing you to use it. Just like no one forces me to use Dashboard which I find useless. In fact they seem to be abandoning it slowly but surely, which is nice.
>>51434239
honestly the hardware was shit
i'm on my third magsafe adapter cause the first one caught fire, the second one frayed
the case is cracking EVERYWHERE. it started 6 months after i got it, and now there's cracks going through the entire case
i've stopped buying new batteries cause they seem to all die on me after a short while (the first one started to fucking INFLATE and was going to blow up)
the screen has always been shit and flickers
and that thing overheats like crazy. as soon as you do anything, it sounds like a boeing and it will seriously burn your balls if you have it sitting on you while doing a CPU intensive task for more than 5 minutes
oh and the inside of the case turned yellow too after 2 years. it started out white as snow and it's now the same gross yellow color as a mac from the 80's
but i still keep it around for laughs cause it's still running, and i want to see how long it lasts (10 years next year! ill get him an SSD for the occasion)

How old is Leopard?
>>51434220
I thought it goes up to 10.7?
source: I used to own a macbook2,1
>>51434404
1.1 (early 2006, first intel mac ever) is 32 bits only and therefore can only support snow leopard.
>>51434461
macbook2,1 had a 32bit efi boot loader and was the reason I couldn't upgrade past 10.7.5
It supported later operating systems but you literally had to hackingtosh it.
10.7.5 is 32 bit
>>51431446

I'm still on 10.10 but will do a clean install for el meme
>>51434649
did you just spend money to buy an outdated and completely unusable OS ?
are you retarded ?
>>51434649
Nice.
>>51434220
Based GNU/Linux giving new life to older hardware. I have a 2010 MacBook Air which is slowly becoming unusable with modern OS X and I'm thinking of switching.
I'd still run Tiger if I could. Best version.
>>51434461
You can install 10.7 on that. I did it to the same one. Google it friend.
You're all a bunch of faggots. There's nothing wrong with later versions of OS X.
>>51434916
Maybe if you have low standards. Those of us that've been running OS X for a long time know which version is better than the others.
>>51434886
Agreed. 10.4 is what I used on my PPC machines. 10.6 is the best Intel only though.
>>51434905
yeah maybe you can nigger rig some shit but why would i bother to do this to have an outdated OS ? instead of staying with linux which performs way better and will still have support for years/decades to come
>>51429608

I'm a Macfag and this anon is right. You can install Windows 7 in a old MacBook with a Core Duo and it'll get support until fucking 2020, including support for iCloud Drive. Apple just doesn't give a fuck about backwards compatibility in OS X because the user base are mainly sheeps and normies that'll upgrade no matter what.
>>51429608
>Apple's best operating system
Was 10.4 tiger
>>51435350
>stable.
NT has memory leaks and constant bluescreens. Backwards compatibility is good until it makes writing code extremely messy and overcomplicated.
>>51435383
The iPad Pro was the obvious beginning of the downward trend. Unfortunately they've got enough cash reserves to weather a bad 5-10 years so they'll come out of it without learning their lesson.
>>51435398
>NT has constant bluescreens
Sure thing kid.
10.8.5 was tolerable, but 10.9 was better in every way. 10.10 was some kind of failed experiment and 10.11 corrects most of it. 10.9 is the last thing you'll get that feels anything like 10.6.8. If your hardware doesn't have the 64-bit EFI and shit, you might need to resort to Linux, unless your job depends on your computer (big office suite software). Then you'll have to use Windows 7, or virtualize.
>>51435369
I still have a G4 with 10.4.11, it runs like a hot turd, and it used to kernel panic multiple times a day when I got it. I don't do anything excessive on it, or install anything except a browser and a media player. 10.5.8 worked better on it, but it clogs the RAM because the entire OS is like an oversized fat-binary.
>>51435311
Wow, that's a really trendy word for "shit I don't like."
>>51435350
>NT
>compatibility
It's pretty fucking miraculous. A good portion of Win32/GDI is undocumented, or only documented by hobbyists, and a lot of it doesn't work as intended. A whole lot of programs actually rely on minor bugs to do their jobs. Also, GDI's repaint routine is still CPU-only, and mostly intact since pre-Y2K Windows.
>>51429608
I was in the same boat as you until recently, but then I switched over to Mint, and it works just fine.
If I were you, I'd just go for that.
>>51429608
it's like you don't appreciate getting cucked by apple anymore, fam
smh tbh
>Microsoft Store marketing are targeting Mac users now
You know what to do OP.
>>51435383
I've been an applefag for many years (starting in the days when you pretty much had to use macs for DTP) and I absolutely hate their new products. Everything before iphone 3g was fine, but then it went downhill.
Iwork - was great office replacement, with clean interface and quite powerful. Now it's been turned to shitty ios app port on a desktop
Final cut - they removed basic functionality (true, some of it was readded later, but still...) and dumbed down the interface to the point of being barely useable
Osx - mostly poinless changes and no really useful features
Ipad - just one giant wtf. Ios interface is just horrid. Icons without text, hidden menus everywhere. Not long ago i wanted to save an mp3 file fronm the web and had to google how to do this. (spoiler: you can't without a 3rd party app)
They even managed to fuck up itunes interface. How do you fuck up a music player/management app?
Also, the new macbook doesn't have magsafe. Just why
>>51434905
No you fucking can't.
>>51435435
didn't happen to me even once on windows 7 or 10

>>51435616

anon...
>>51435562
I don't know how else you want me to put it. 10.7 cannot be made to run on 32 bit processors.
>>51435646
But it does. That's why you're lying. I believe 10.7 was the last major revision to support 32 bit. 10.8+ was 64 bit only
>>51435665
>I believe 10.7 was the last major revision to support 32 bit.
You believe wrong.
>>51435688
I was right but for the wrong reasons. I often confuse core duo and core 2 duo.
Lion is the last release to support 32 bit. It just doesn't support core duo because apple says so.
It does, however, work on core duo it just requires some fuckery to do so.
>>51435756
Core 2 Duo is x86-64.
>>51435550
Me wasn't even NT-based. Last NT bluescreen I've seen was caused by sound drivers in NT4
>>51435756
Also, this image is likely from a developer preview as they did not drop 32 bit support until mid way through development.
The actual release will never run on a 32 bit Mac.
>>51435775
You bet it is, but the EFI in early Intel macs is only 32-bit, so it just won't boot anything past 10.7. I can't tell you why.
>>51435821
Can pretty easily be worked around using hackintosh tools, so you end up with emulated EFI64 on top of emulated BIOS on top of EFI32. You'll also need a video card with 64 bit drivers.
>>51435603
Should've made magsafe on one side and usb-c on the other
>>51436547
not him, but I have literally never ever*1000 observed a case where magsafe has benefitted me with my rMBP.
If Apple drop magsafe to just completely saturate the side(s) of the next rMBP with USB 3.0 Type C ports, and let any of those charge the laptop but thus drop the unique magsafe feature of magnetic locking, I would be totally cool with it.

I would probably take up more space and
>>51435603
>>51436547
And waste space that can be used for battery? Magsafe felt cool but was more annoying than useful IMO.
>>51434102
Utter nonsense.
Mavericks was a buggy mess for me. Finder in particular would freeze up constantly (Dropbox seemed to be part of it, but even without dropbox it still lagged like hell).
El Capitan fixed everything.
>>51434505
Used to have one of these I think the real problem is that Apple didn't want to port the graphics driver to 64bit: there was no technical reason they couldn't have.
>>51436547
Absolutely this. Don't know what they were thinking.
>>51430287
yes
>>51435336
They don't give a fuck about backward compatibility because they don't want their OS to become the mess that Windows has.
>>51429608
Meanhwhile the 6 years old Windows 7 is up to date with everything working just fine, and so is the 8 years old Vista. Enjoying being treated like some cheap dirty bitches, Applel fags? :^)
