The sun clearly does rise in the morning. The time of the morning depends on the timezone which is related to when the sun comes up, which happens when there is no earth between the surface of the earth at the specific location and the sun anymore.
This is always the case in most countries, but on the north and south pole the sun might not always come up in the morning. The sun night not rise, or the sun night be up throughout the entire morning.

OSX is the best of both worlds, if you do /gd/ work or /gd/ related work.
All the good terminal applications from *nix, but also Creative Suite and tons of other (cheap) media editing software.
My daily driver will still forever run Gentoo, but my workstation runs OSX.
Also, while it's irritating that you can't just replace the meh-tier window manager, window management and general workflow is a lot better than the pile of shit that is Windows.

The Sun never sets or rises, it stays the same distance over the Earth throughout it’s daily/annual journeys around. The appearance of rising and setting is all based on the law of perspective on plane surfaces. The Sun and Moon spotlights are perpetually hovering over and parallel to the surface of the Earth.
From our vantage point, due to the Law of Perspective, the day/night luminaries appear to rise up the Eastern horizon, curve peaking high overhead, and then sink below the Western horizon. They do not escape to the underside of the Flat-Earth as one might imagine, but rather rotate concentric clockwise circles around the circumference from tropic to tropic.
>>54270785
I have both and I never use OS X. Because OS X is just eye candy, mah designer interface shit, and not so much productivity-friendly. I get more shit done in Windaws than in OS X. The whole OS X just feels like it was made by a huge raging faggot designer who prioritises looks over function and he wants everything to look comfy and brightly coloured. Meh, I'd rather use a more understated UI and be able to focus more on what I'm doing than on constantly thinking "omg this looks so nice, foggy glass effects everywhere".

The "problem" is that I can install it only on the 5400 RPM HDD, and aside from Rails, all the other programs are working fine and I don't know if there is a reason to install them all over again on OS X. But I enjoy nice UI and would like to try out some Mac specific programs and IDEs.

>>54271849
Which gpu do you have?
In my case, I have a 280x and the UI slightly stutters at random times. While that happens with Gnome 3 or KDE, doesn't happen on Windows. I love Hackintosh but I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's faster. And shit, I tried every little fucking thing. I tried switching system definitions, injecting different framebuffers, flashing different GPU bioses with different clock speeds, deleting and modifying random kexts here. It's been kind of a nightmare just to get rid of that tiny stutter.
Like I swear to god if it's because I'm using a single 8gb stick of RAM and upgrading to 16 dual channel would fix it, I would go buy that shit right the fuck now, but I don't really think it's that.
What will amaze me every time is apple users.
Linux users doesn't totally trust the open source movement and won't use some distributions that can be suspicious (ubuntu with the amazon shit for example)
Windows users knows that microsoft spies on them with windows 10 and just accept, and hope / think it will not be harmful to them.
But apple users are truly the best.
Apple software is known to have vulnerabilities, they have some weird policies of not fixing security breach, they are part of prism, and think the apple encryption ; which is proprietary ; is secure.
I don't know how apple managed it. I'm not sure if it's because their user base is stupid or if it's a question of marketing.
>>54271965
Linux users are blissfully ignorant about the fact that using something like Debian or Arch isn't going to keep them safe from the NSA. Some of them even believe in snowden being a good sort of person.
Windows users have this thing where they think that they can just download some program and spend an entire morning using random scripts and removing updates will keep them safe from microsoft, when what they are essentially doing putting fake switches all over the place. Kinda like that firefox thing a while ago.
Apple users are also pretty ignorant but don't ever pretend there's not a massive amount of retardation regarding security when it comes to OSX / Windows / GNU/Linux.

I have a 5870 driving two displays and an old 8500GT driving a third display. I cannot notice any stuttering at all. Also, everything worked out of the box, except for LAN, which only involved installing one kext.

>>54270785
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
>>54271020
Of course he uses Windows.
Are you saying that this Linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?
That sounds preposterous to me.
If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.
Microsoft spent $19 billion and many years to make the Windows that we know today, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple has been trying to create their own system for years, but it never came close to what Windows is.
Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer from start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.
I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.
>>54270785
the biggest thing for me with OSes is the window management.
Windows 10 has subtly improved it in ways that make is amazing, better than any linux distro I have used.
OS-X well their isn't really any window management desu, and thats why it sucks.
>>54272151

An MSI h81m-e33. Cheap stuff, though I heard it was good enough for the rest of my build. My processor is an i5 4460.
I have also done some tests with different things like using onboard graphics (intel 4600, it was really really laggy, I think I might not have set it up correctly) and my old 6850HD which, surprisingly enough had almost the exact same results as my 280x. With that I came to the conclusion it might not be the GPU at all. In fact I heard that you could upgrade Mac Pros 6,1 with D700s which from what I've heard are essentially 280x's with lower clocks or some shit.
This is kinda strange but I'm not going to discard the motherboard as the culprit to be honest. It was really really cheap and I bought it because of an emergency.

The only reason to use Windows is for the huge software support, so if you are gonna forfeit that, might as well get Linux.
With OSX you get a system that isn't as nice to use as Linux, nor have the Software support of Windows.

I'm currently dual booting windows and OSX. I must say that it's a shitty situation.
Because OSX -is- more comfortable. Looks better, I can actually read on it, has a better file manager and some tools just play very nice. I also bought a magic trackpad for very cheap and it's really a pretty nice thing to use. Thought it would be always inferior to the mouse but I find myself doing things really quickly with it that I wouldn't just manage with the mouse alone (not to mention I can use both at the same time but that's a bit weird)
Issue is that, except for that trackpad which barely works on it, Windows plays much better with all the hardware. Adobe tools just work the way they're supposed to, that is, pretty fucking fast. There's all software available except the browser I got used to, Safari (yeah yeah no webm, security flaws, etc but that shit is actually faster than firefox/chrome/opera) and overall I don't feel like I spent a lot of money so I could have a "normal" experience.
So I have to choose between performance or comfort here.
I also have a choice which is to buy another 8gb of ram and spend some extra time trying to get something like VGA passthrough to work on linux, cause I happen to have a setup that is confirmed to work. And I'm willing to bet that if I spend some more time I can even get this trackpad to do all kinds of kinky shit on it.
So I'm not entirely sure here about what to do.

Of course it is, why wouldn't be, hell even my left shoe is superior to Windows 10, those people put setting into different applications instead of just using control panel, but no the have the Control Panel for one set of settings, then another application called Settings with another set of settings
I left Windows for OS X in 2013, when everyone was happily using W7, before the whole windows 8 fiasco, and never really used ever since, not long time ago installed W10 to see what's up after all these years, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I experienced the mayhem, what did they do to this poor OS? And why?
>>54270785
Easily, especially for programming. You have all the *nix tools and they all work, including Bash. Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10 is absolute shit right now. Even if they make it better, there is still the disadvantage of the rest of the Windows system
Of course. It just looks like shit these days.
Unix is always superior to windows and you will see it only get better since it is now the Unix of choice in CS departments. College grads always use in industry what they learned in college.

At one time I might have considered Apple, I have fond memories dicking around on a Macintosh and they used to be such great dedicated machines when it came to graphic and sound design. But in recent years I've have such bad experiences with them. Both at work and at school they've been constantly breaking down on me and my peers and I constantly get pestered by friends and family to fix their broken iDevices.
Not that I haven't had my fair share of BSODs on Windows machines as well, but those have usually been more infrequent and easier to fix than on Apple devices, and from Win 7 and Up I've only had one single crash on my personal machines.
Sure, Mac products look sleek and El Capitan sure is sexy, but I prefer stability and being able to get shit done over frivolous fashion design any day.

This. I used to work at an IT shop and the guys doing web design used Apple computers. One of them was the head systems guy at the shop and I had asked why he insisted on using Mac for the Adobe suite when it could be done in Windows. Said Apple was much better supported for this sort of thing. We still primarily supported Windows solutions for businesses, and used Linux for web servers, but there are certain cases where Mac has it's moments.
>>54287084
You can boot Mac from a virtual machine and download + create bootable drive from there, right?

Neither has an attractive interface; OSX can't into WM and its' "taskbar" is a clusterfuck. Most Macs I see have about 10,000 programs in the dock and heaven forbid you actually need to find one of them.

Man. If it was possible to do something like KVM passthrough in OSX I would be really fucking happy.
If anyone's wondering all it really takes is to download (just by using a public torrent tracker like kat) an el capitan VMware image, patch VMware and create the installer from that virtual machine.
Well you might need to create an apple ID as well of course. I suggest doing that before this process.
I'm constantly thinking if I should install OS X alongside my W10 but there is so much shit I'll have to install again even though it works perfectly on W10. Is there even FL studio 12 on Mac? Then all the Adobe suite... And I only have 500GB on that drive. Idk idk idk. Basically I'd run OS X on a slow HDD with half a TB of memory just for the Logic, Final Cut, some new IDEs and Rails development.

I mean it didn't really changed that much since 4 years ago but it's still feels like something made 10 years after W10
Which is a shame, considering I'm still forced to use it

Mac is cucked the same way as Windows is, less spyware, therefore more restrictions and crippled software.

Nothing special is installed. It was slowly at the first boot as well. I think it is the GUI that makes it feel slow.

I needed a new computer.
Wanted to learn to use flash/Dreamweaver/fireworks/Photoshop to see if they can save me some time in the work I do.
Read online that adobe products have a bad history of crashing on windows computers, if you've left them up for more than 10 hours at a time.
Decided to buy a Mac for my next computer.
Purchased [pic related].
Did I do OK?
I'm a poorfag, so I never buy anything new. Haven't regretted it yet.

>>54295620
It may be a core 2 duo era computer, but that is not to say there are core 2 duos inside.
But rather, it has 2 Xeons. (quad core)
This thing is similar to a refurbished PC. I'm assuming in good faith that most of these parts aren't a decade old.
Plus it comes with the full adobe suite. I talked to one of their sales people just the other day, and they said dreamweaver alone is $400 new. But this Mac comes with the full suite.
So it cant be THAT bad of a deal, can it?
I've spent days looking for deals on ebay for iMacs, Macbooks, Mac Minis, Apple XServs, and Mac Pros. I'd like to think I didn't just totally screw up. I have some inkling to what i'm doing. I think.
>>54295703
You paid $600 for a space heater that's weaker than a BRAND NEW $190 6th generation i5.
>>54295687
OK, if I truly did that badly, then I challenge you to do better.
Can you find a decent apple computer (any form-factor) that has at least 16 gigs of ram, equivalent or greater processing power to what I purchased, and the power to drive 2 displays each at 3840x2160?
Your budget is a max of $900. Max. Absolute maximum.
I don't want to try to do the Adobe products on Windows. I hate it when shit crashes. So very much.

This seems more like blind-hatred, than constructive criticism. It seems to me you cannot do any better.
Your credibility is sketchy at best. At least until you say something meaningful that actually demonstrates that YOU have an inkling to what you're doing in computer-deal-findings / computer-performance-evaluation.

I think that particular model of processor is the Xeon E5345

El Capitan would be god-tier if it didn't have to run on Apple's shitty hardware. Not to mention that there really isn't anything between "overpriced facebook machine" and "overpowered overpriced facebook machine" in Apple's product lineup.
Still, I find using my Macbook Air to be more pleasurable than my Dell, and half of that I owe to El Capitan.
That's not to say that other OSX versions aren't a bag of dicks though, Mavericks and Yosemite in particular.
Also, I'm retarded please explain why people are complaining about window management on OSX vs Windows?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Maaaan, now I wanted to install hackintosh but when I saw how many shit you have to do for it to work properly on a skylake I lost all will.

OSX doesn't support Snapping windows by default like what the windows managers of Windows 7 and later versions do. I bought an app for OSX, what made the windows management of OSX much better. Full screen windows in OSX is dogshit by the way.
>>54296228
Yeah, I do miss that ability I'll admit. Though I like using gestures on the touchpad more.
>Full screen windows in OSX is dogshit by the way.
How so? I can just swipe sideways to another window. I don't find it much more of a hassle than snapping windows.

Windows 10:
> botnet
> broken af
> paid office suite
> inconsistent design makes it ugly, two control panels is a joke.
> Windows scaling is a joke.
> retired developers says it's source code is a cluster fuck nightmare
OS X 10.11:
> Beautiful OS with consistent design
> Free office suite (iWork)
> No botnet, Apple lets you to choose if you want to send them data
> Disk Encryption enabled by default
> Free updates for life
> Godly scaling, fonts looks beautiful
> Powerful unix terminal
> Xcode, Logic and Final Cut are exclusives.
Can't wait for the next release, it's a pleasure to use.
Not saying it's perfect, there are some annoying bugs (mainly regarding Safari) but overall it's a great OS.
>>54295318
for that price I would try getting a used MacBook Air tbqh, plenty of power to do what you're aiming for.

OS X has a wide variety of advantages that I don't feel like listing. Just buy a used macbook for $500 or something. You have a fucking job, don't you? And if you don't like it, sell it for $600.
Just don't go in thinking OS X is some perfectly designed, 100% consistent, bug-free polished OS like /g/ says it is. All software is shit. You might even have to edit undocumented config files depending on what you want to do. And please, do not install the GNU shell utilities, just learn to use the BSD ones. They're fine.
If you are a linux user, OS X's GUI will be pretty familiar to you because gtk+ is the toolkit for apple wannabes.
