I've always been a thinkpad fan.
Today, was offered a 15" macbook to work for a trendy startup, payed anything I want, office is in a kushy startup hub.
I didn't think twice.
What have I done? Can I get a tiling window manager on this thing?
Pic isn't mine.

>Can I get a tiling window manager on this thing?
obviously yes you can

even if you don't install linux on it, mac os x is a unixlike with a package manager (homebrew)
>>
>>53269110
Followup: google search gave me a native tiling wm for mac in seconds.

OS X isn't a just unixlike, it is UNIX.

>>53269125
nigga no

UNIX is unix, os x and linux are unixlikes

No it's not, it's unix-based.
Also, Amethyst a shit if you're used to something like i3. There are no decent tiling windowmanagers.
I split up my iTerm 2 windows to get at least something similar but that's it

Close, but UNIX® is just the trademark, hold by The Open Group: http://www.unix.org/what_is_unix.html
>As the owner of the UNIX trademark, The Open Group has separated the UNIX trademark from any actual code stream itself, thus allowing multiple implementations.

>>53269159
Yes it is, it's certified UNIX.

you have done well. OSX interface is great, if i wouldn't be so accustomed to tiling wm i would probably switch to osx with its comfy three-finger-swipe-to-switch-between-window touchpad gestures. Hell, it's actually closest thing to tiling wm you can sell to normies.

OSX interface is not bad at all, and i'm saying it as someone who uses i3 on daily basis. Give it a chance.

I love how most of the people on here who shit on Macs are broke malcontents enraged that their white skin and small noses hasn't gotten them anything worthwhile in life.
All they see is the price tag, they wouldn't know good engineering if it smacked them in the face.
They think Macs are rich kid toys meanwhile their laptops are cheap plastic shit running Windoze, used mainly for playing games, ironically.
The ONLY people I let off the hook are ThinkPad and Linux users. Everyone else can go to hell. Idiots.

I love how most of the people on here who shit on [thing I base my self worth on] are [shit I made up]
All they see is [shit I made up that I could easily refute if they believed]
They think [things which break my perception of self]
The ONLY people I let off the hook are [things which don't break my perception of self]
