The OS itself isn't open source, just the kernel, which is the only part of an OS that absolutely must be open source in my opinion.

Well, i would actually use one for ios development but i just got out of school and i have a lot of shit to pay (not a tuition, its free on my country), so i can't afford one.
Used GNU/Linux from '94 until 2008 and switched to Mac. Like some aspects but hated others; switched back to Gentoo in 2014.
OSX is more Unix than GNU Linux that's a fact. But should we even care?
It would be still better if it wasn't that Unix.

Buying Mac hardware is definitely the best option if you plan on running OS X, but certainly isn't the only option.

Os x is not Linux.
Os x is modified Unix with BSD tools.
While Linux is just a clone of UNIX - created from 0 by Linus Torvalds to be like it.
>>53533517

Linux at least has choice, osx doesn't. I can make linux GUI behave how I want it. If you think that's shit, you're shit

I'm looking for things to complain about, but somehow there's -always- a direct solution and I find it quick enough. Sure it's quite a bit of "fixing" as opposed to Ubuntu in regards to hardware but I didn't spend a whole day on everything. As for the rest of the system, later I tried Ubuntu Gnome and Unity, those two motherfuckers that look alike, and they felt really fucking clunky in comparison.
It made me even switch from Chrome for years to Safari because:
1. I don't give two shits about webms personally
2. With the smoothscroll application that I mentioned, Chrome kinda trips like a motherfucker, Safari is smooth as hell
3. Can still watch some shit on youtube, maybe not 4k 60fps but I wonder why I would watch that on a 2560x1080p monitor
4. Can still use some scripts
3. Can actually customize it more than Chrome, put a feed bar in there with tweets and since it's the thing that comes with the system, it looks consistent enough
Really it's just that webm thing that sucks about this browser, otherwise I can't think of one issue. Overall I'm pretty fucking happy.
Apple is for gays and ladies.
>>53534222
Indeed.
They can do more with it, like remove all the toolbar elements they want, put them where they fucking want as well.
Man, mission control is on some shit. I know other operating systems have something like this that I can probably also bind to my mouse DPI switch but this shit is beautiful

if i was shelling out for a firewire hdd i might as well just get a new superdrive.
how would another mac help?
right now i can find two real options, either give raw partition access to a vm which i use to install in that partition, which is a lot of work and i haven't gotten working yet, or i've heard a program called winclone which can create a bootable windows install in osx from an image. i don't use it since it's payware and i dint want windows anyway but it gave me the idea to try to fool software for creating bootable usb stucks into installing on a local partition, which is then use to create a regular install.

yeah but can i use target disk mode to a partition without osx installed? as far as i remember it won't work. also, if have to have a Linux partition on that other machine, which granted isn't too much work but still.

Burn an installer CD and pop it in your other Mac, boot it to Target Disk Mode, then you can boot from that Mac's disc drive with your MacBook
>>53535993
I'd take a PowerBook G4 over a Chromebook
>>53535960
Same here. Animations in OSX are exactly right. Tried Gnome/Unity/KDE and they honestly could be better with that. KDE is slow as molasses, Gnome stutters like it's loading the applications menu from a CD and Unity reeks of shitty animations produced by Compiz.
That's the issue with most big DEs really. They look like they're badly put together by different people here and there. The most consistent ones are usually so basic it hurts.

>i'd take a dick in my anus over not taking a dick in my anus
As someone who has been using OS X for several years on hackintoshes, trying to switch to Linux was a pain in the ass. Mostly due to these issues:
>Triple monitor setup (two monitors, one TV) and screen tearing is ridiculous.
Required extensive fucking around with settings to get this working. I'm blaming X11 for being fucking shit instead of nVidia's drivers.
>Nothing was plug and play. Not even the browser.
Even needed to fuck with the chromium flags to get it to not screen tear due to it having some shitty rendering engine
>Needed to install 3rd party extensions for auto-scrolling by middle clicking.
Speaks for itself. I mean god damn what the fuck is that?
>Nautilus is worse than fucking Finder, and that's saying something.
Tried to upload pictures, good fucking luck finding it. It's either fuckhuge preview pictures, or no preview pictures at all. It has it's own "Other Devices" bullshit instead of easily mounting other drives from the sidebar.
>Virtual machine performance and features are fucking crap
I need a virtual machine for VS2015 since I need it for my fucking job. Unfortunately, both VMWare Workstation, VirtualBox, QEmu and KVM sucks dicks and has horrendous I/O performance even with it's own god damn disk. Works perfectly on Parallels Desktop with the exact same disk. This meant even more tedious configuring
>Font rendering was C-R-A-P.
Holy mother of fuck it was bad. Infinality "fixed" it, but why the fuck that isn't default on all distros is ridiculous.

It's easy to use, look good, and isn't your mainstream 93% of the market Windows system.
Even though it's popular with the illiterate crowd, the system itself is surprisingly powerful. Most *NIX commands are available in the terminal, you have a powerful package manager, proprietary software compatibility, not to mention stability. As a software developer it's a breeze to use and far more productive than what I've been used to with both GNU/Linux and Windows.

The only proper workaround for that is the VLC web plugin which is still watching them in another tab. Just middle click them webm links.
I actually switched to it because it is genuinely faster. It doesn't choke scrolling on websites with more than a few tiny pictures.

define stability, because underusing system resources that are already shit for the price you paid seems a bit much to sacrifice for the ocasional monthly reboot that pcs need
also, all those "how to ctrl-alt-del on a mac" google results are fake, i mean, why would they be real if it's so fucking stable, right?
>very pretty and very functional
beauty is in the eye of the beholder macfag but hey, if you like fishe price icons jumping up and down every time you open your shit (and it usually takes a long time to open it on a mac) then by all means, consider it beautifull
but, for the sake of the argument, let's discuss what is wrong with it
>shitty UAC
i know it's unix and shit and its secure but holy fuck do some software manufacturers have trouble getting their shit to work with it and if i can't use certain third party software it's a dealbreaker
>not intuitive
"oh guise mac is most easy to use ever"
no you dumb fucks, no it's not
it's easy to connect to a network, open a browser and go on failbook but when it comes to actual usage such as defining environment variables, for example, then you better get your text editor boy. which brings me to your last point of "knowing what you're doing". Well, if you know what you're doing, then why the fuck would you use OSX instead of "insert linux distro"?
>touchpad gestures actually usefull?

Don't like the filesystem, quartz, no good package manager, the way xcode fucks with your libs is terrible, I'd rather not have everything break after system updates.
Just use a BSD

I would if my 380 was compatible.
>>53536327
Yeah I know Safari has infinitely better performance than Chrome.
That webm issue still bothers me too much to switch.
I'll try the VLC plugin, see if it's convenient enough or not.
I'm too lazy to bother with hackintosh and mac is too expensive also I enjoy muh freedum on Linux

>very pretty and very functional
Subjective banter. I personally find bright white color schemes tiring to my eyes and don't like them.
I can customize any other OS to look the best to myself, rather than "pretty" according to some irrelevant faggots rule-book which doesn't cover my own opinions.

Actually the bite is there so you can tell it's not a cherry, you dumb fuck.

Yah you illiterate uneducated homo.
Also cherries don't have a leaf sticking from the lower part of the stalk like the Apple does,
their leaf is on top of a long stalk that is always the same size of the cherry in proportion, or about 30% longer,

>CB: Is it possible you were influenced subconsciously by these stories?
>RJ: Well, I'm probably the least religious person, so Adam and Eve didn't have anything to do with it. The bite of knowledge sounds fabulous, but that's not it. And there is a whole lot of other lore about it. Turing the famous supposed father of computer science who committed suicide in the early 50's was british and was accused of being homosexual, which he was. He was facing a jail sentence so he committed suicide to avoid all that. So, I heard one of the legends being that the colored logo was an homage to him. People think I did the colored stripes because of the gay flag. And, that was something really thought for a long time. The other really cool part was that apparently he killed himself with a cyanide laced apple. And, then I found out Alan Turing's favorite childhood story was Snow White where she falls asleep forever afrer eating a poisoned apple to be woken up by the handsome prince. Anyway, when I explain the real reason why I did the bite it's kind of a let down. But I'll tell you. I designed it with a bite for scale, so people get that it was an apple not a cherry. Also it was kind of iconic about taking a bite out of an apple. Something that everyone can experience. It goes across cultures. If anybody ever had an apple he has probably bitten into it and that's what you get. It was after I designed it that my creative director told me: "Well you know, there is a computer term called byte". And I was like: "You're kidding!" So, it was like perfect, but it was coincidental that it was also a computer term. At the time I had to be told everything about basic computer terms.
Now quit with the shitty Reddit tier memes.

yes you can have granular control of terminal-type stuff like on linux, but the difference is that actual commercial software exists for os x when it doesn't for linux. it's literally the best of both worlds, both the development tools via a unix/bsd base, plus actual commercial software non-neets use.
