>Why aren't you using OS X, the best os since 2002
Because it hasn't been good since 10.6.
Most of the POSIX utilities haven't been updated since then, it's gotten slower and slower for no reason, and there haven't been any decent new features except maybe mission control (iCloud integration can especially fuck right off).
I'd say that even Windows 10 is better at this point.

>>54326895
Unfortunately the only option you have there is to use Karabiner, which lets you switch keys all over the place. It has many, many different switches so you can get to what you want.
>>54323985
I have been hackintoshing quite well for about five years now I believe, and while I have been very fond of OS X for all that time, switching to full GNU/Linux wasn't as bad as I expected.
All operating systems have issues, and OS X is no exception. I have no idea how "perfect drivers made by OS creators" came on that list, because Apple's drivers (and nVidia's/AMDs graphics drivers) are half assed beyond belief. They are a serious problem and developers hate them with a passion. They are a fucking shitheap to work with and give really bad performance compared to what they could do like on Windows.
As for "more gaymes", I found wine on Linux to be more intuitive and usable than CrossOver, PlayOnMac, Wineskin or similar wine interfaces. Natively? Sure, but you cannot expect perfect performance nor bug-free OS X gaming, I know that first hand.
Awesome terminal is also something I highly disagree with. The stock terminal Apple ships with OS X is actually really bad, however iTerm2 makes up for it. Not really a pro, since Linux has better terminals.
Something that should be mentioned on OS X' cons is how HFS+ is bad. Like really bad. The lack of any good file systems on OS X is actually sad. ZFS soon please.
Now I'm not defending Linux' problems. X11 IS shit, and the lack of proprietary software IS a problem, screen tearing is a real fucking problem (byproduct of X11 sucking) and the segmentation (while being the foundation of the entire movement) is really bad.
>>54323985
>Aqua is best looking DE
can't stand it, gets worse every release
>compatible with 99% of Linux & bad apps
As someone who (unfortunately) is still stuck with a Mac, I'd say 50% is a high estimate. The version of clang that ships with OSX is outdated, the Mach-o universal binaries fuck up the linker, the assembler fails to properly deal with the loopz instruction, any vector extensions are also not supported, so gcc with -march=native always fails, it's a pain in the ass to even get GCC working at all because of how hard they force clang, Apple's version of libtool fucks up static linking, the half-assed unofficial package managers are shit and remove everything that fails to compile rather than fixing it (homebrew also comes with Google analytics), the software which you are forced to compile yourself (since all unofficial package managers have a shit selection) almost always fail to compile or segfault within seconds of starting, OSX ignores the system-V abi on a number of occasions, htop doesn't even work without root privileges
>almost no malware
OSX had nearly as many RCE vulns in 2015 as Windows XP had in it's entire lifetime, there are more code execution vulnerabilities in OSX than there are denial of service, I didn't even know that was possible.
>awesome terminal
Terminal.app isn't very good, Apple still ships bash 3.2 and outdated coreutils to avoid GPLv3
>most feature rich system
Objectively false
I won't even get into how bad Safari is or the fact that most of Apple's software has horrible memory leaks.
Because Quartz is terrible, the Apple store is barely better than the Windows store, and iTunes is proprietary.
If the horrible window management and dock isn't enough to make you ragequit Apple, the bugs and incompatible software and drivers will. Every single mac owner has buyers remorse.

>>54327164
While I agree with most of your points, some are wrong too. Like you can't judge OS X for embedded terminal, because linux (/gnu) doesn't have any by default at all. And AMD drivers on linux are much worse than on OS X. I agree on FS though, i mean OS X snow leopard preview HAD ZFS support, and one could even format and use it in a system HD.
>>54327165
While looks are subjective, most people prefer aqua out of all DEs and OS. Vulnerabilities are not malwares and are quickly patched by apple, linux got them too. OS X doesn't ship with outdated coreutils, it ships with BSD. I guess i can agree with you on these points. Yet, OS X IS most feature rich system. Here, I found a somewhat stale copypasta:
For me its how everything is neatly organized and how much stuff os x has built in. Does your de have/can it perform:
*Boolean searches
*Built-in text summarizer
*Built-in PDF editing tool
*Full emoji support
*Being able to preview video and audio without external programs
*Creating files by dragging n dropping text
*Such an advanced notification system
*All apps going with one guideline
*All apps supporting high DPI without breaking
*Quickly calculate something by typing it into search
*Built-in dictionary so you could select any word and get definition without external programs
? And that all is just a fraction of all the features in 16 years of evolution of OS X.

You said that you can't but later said that you can. And that way is much better because if one cuts a file on windows and copies another one without pasting preview, it gets deleted. OS X way is better

you shouldn't have to do that. osx bills itself as the world's most advanced operating system and this is an incredibly basic feature. windows has this built in. mate, xfce and lxde (the only linux DEs i've used) have this built in.
>You said that you can't but later said that you can. And that way is much better because if one cuts a file on windows and copies another one without pasting preview, it gets deleted. OS X way is better
i said you can't cut a file, which is true. you can't select a file and press command+x to cut it, you have to copy it and then "paste+cut" it. although that comes down to semantics, so sure. i just tried that "cutting a file and then copying another deletes a file" on my computer (windows 10). i cut "folder 1", then copied and pasted "folder 2". "folder 1" didn't get deleted.
>Turn it off in terminal.
i did. it's mostly disabled, but not entirely. you shouldn't have to use terminal to do this anyway, especially not when there's a system preferences check box for disabling font smoothing (that only reduces it).
>>Use linux
>>everything, even installing programs is using secret terminal commands
from what little linux experience i have, that's not true. installing a program in debian is done with this command:(sudo) apt-get install (program)
this is intuitive. "apt" is the name of the package manager, "get" means get the program, "install" means install it, and the rest is self-explanatory. most common distros include a gui-based package manager such as synaptic anyway.
disabling the "app downloaded from the internet" message in osx is:defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool NO
this is not intuitive. neither is the command to "disable" font smoothing:defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1
>>54331967
I think that these apple commands are intuitive. it writes to defaults' entry a int or a boolean. Intuitive.
>>54324193
Taking a decade to get a 2nd mouse button and you're proud of that? Lol
>>54332012
in that sense, yes, but how are you supposed to know which default is meant to have what value for an int? if you were told in system preferences "you can access more security commands by changing LSQuarintine defaults", then yes, it would be fine. you're left to figure this out on your own, find the answer on google, or wade through apple's development documentation. i haven't checked the documentation personally, but i'm fairly sure it wouldn't be a user friendly tutorial.
the point is, these shouldn't be terminal commands. they should be system preferences settings, in the same way that mouse sensitivity or keyboard repeat rate is.
bought epic dual core g5 2ghz with a 7800gt. months later apple went intel. apple dropped ppc support after 10.5.
after their terrible support with ppc and the g5 i ditched apple.
from what i can tell apple still shits on their consumers. latest "mac pro" doesn't offer any sort of upgradability. you can't even upgrade the hard drive in it let alone adding a secondary or third.

One could say OS X is shit, but Windows is the bigger shitheap
- Homebrew is shit, doesn't hold a candle to even apt
- Drivers for my hardware are fine, sure Linux limits your hardware choice a bit, but OSX vastly more so.
- I haven't gotten screen tearing in a long time. Pick your hardware right.
- Productivity : Most of the tools I use are available on OSX, but the OSX versions are worse ports.
- DE/WM : Opinion, I personally can't stand using OSX, I always have to full screen a terminal and work from there since I find the GUI awful.
- No games : Plenty of games now, and can get a graphic card to run them without hackintosh, or paying a shit ton.
- X is awful.
It works, and is pretty damn convenient, x forwarding is very useful, and it has a ton of awesome tools.
Things like separate mappings and sensitivities for different keyboards/mice, scripting the mouse to move with keyboard buttons, all easy to do.
Works for me, never got why people hate it so much, just let the distro maintainers wrangle it.
HFS+ can only access one file at a time
really
With Windows you can upgrade PC components and save tons of money when looking for performance enhancement. Mac OS X...not so much.
Mac OS X is also designed for absolute computer illiterate retards, Windows provides much more customization to UI elements.
Windows also has a ton more great software. It's the more popular operating system for a reason:it's simply the better choice.
>>54332588
u wot m8
>>54332589

>>54332589

>>54332611
Examples of modern file-system features not supported by HFS+:
nanosecond timestamps
concurrent access (let more than one process at the time access the filesystem)
checksumming
snapshotting
longer time frame (February 6, 2040 for HFS+)
sparse file support
real hard links

>>54332589
>Windows provides much more customization to UI elements.
Not any more
>>54323985
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Mac OS X, is in fact, BSD/OS X, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Mac plus BSD. Mac OS X is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning BSD system made useful by the BSD corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the BSD system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of BSD which is widely used today is often called “OS X”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the BSD system, developed by the BSD Project.
There really is a Mac OS X, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Mac OS X is the UI: the program in the system that creates the pretty graphics. The UI is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Mac OS X is normally used in combination with the BSD operating system: the whole system is basically BSD with Mac OS X added, or BSD/OS X. All the so-called “Mac OS X” versions are really distributions of BSD/OS X.

You know that the whole reason GUI is even a thing was because of apple. Also they are the reason why you can't paste in terminal with ctrl-V -- windows and unix GUIs copied the shortcuts off, but apple has command instead of control.
>>54338039
what if the file isn't zip?
>>54338064
Why would you need 7zip instead of the built in utilities?
Convince me to ditch OS X for something else.
1) My laptop is a MBP (it was a gift).
2) Other than a C compiler, the unix stuff that I need is already installed by default. As soon as I typed in 'gcc' I was prompted to automatically fetch and install Clang and other command-line development tools if I desired.
3) Interface looks pretty good by default. It's not the absolute nicest looking thing ever but I personally found ricing linux a waste of time: too much hassle for what its worth and you get stuck in a never-ending upkeep/tweaking cycle.
4) Runs Microsoft Office.
5) Apps work across my desktop and phone (messenger, contacts, ebooks) and I can take calls on my laptop.
6) Safari has the lowest battery use of any browser (I tested them all) and works perfectly with the sites I use (I haven't run into a broken site yet). Extensions are unfortunately limited, but uBlock installs fine.
7) The best feature for me: easy and useful trackpad navigation by default. Example is virtual desktop swipes: swipe three fingers up to show all my virtual desktops, three left or right to switch between them.

Yeah there's some shit stuff like HFS but it literally doesn't make a difference to my day to day use. The only thing that does affect me is .DS_Store pollution, which is annoying but easy to deal with.alias rmds='find . -name ‘*.DS_Store’ -type f -delete'
Finder is also pretty bad, but I honestly don't use it much and it's good enough for when I do.

My gripes with Macs so far:
1) I _had_ a Mac. It managed to fuck up its own filesystem twice. How? Don't ask me, I only asked it to copy video files from HDD to a iso image on the same HDD. Had to take the HDD out, plug it into a Linux PC and run fsck on it. That was 10.3.9 though, things might have improved since then
2) My father has one. I have no printer and asked him to print me a .pdf file (some documents I needed in a hurry). They opened fine on Linux, they opened fine on Windows, but MacOS X refused to print any text. My fathers solution? Import the pdf files in _PHOTOSHOP_ and print the result.
3) this is more of a Matlab problem, but it only happens on Macs, so here we go: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/130711-why-am-i-unable-to-start-or-install-matlab-on-my-mac-pro-2013-or-newer-with-two-thunderbolt-displa
Solution? Disconnect the second monitor and don't reconnect it as long as you're running Matlab

Of course you can use fucking Unicode on literally any half decent os from the last decade.
>>54338064
>what if the file isn't zip?
Why would you use something that isn't tar.(INSERT ANY COMPRESSION METHOD HERE) or zip? If something is packed in e.g .rar, it probably isn't targeted for Linux, and even if so, there is WinRaR for Linux (at least in Debian repos) which is for extracting only, so you keep your freedom, hence you don't need to agree to some bullshit EULA and stuff desu

did he open pdf in adobe reader or preview.app?

>wasting space

>using bookmarks bar at all
>>54324036
Been wanting to do this, any preferred tutorials?
>>54338121
I'm guessing the preview.app, I don't think he's installed the adobe reader. But frankly I have no clue and he wouldn't know the difference anyway so there was no point in asking - I wasn't there when he did all this, as I sent the files via email and asked him to print them while I drove to his place to pick them up.
>>54338150
who needs tutorials? imma tell you how i did that
1. find an OS X install image. Find one that's straight from mac app store
2. Partition an USB and install clover on one partition (read arch wiki on clover) and OS X files on another, restore the install image using a tool like transmac.
3. boot from usb and install OS X
4. boot from usb into OS X on HD and over there install clover on the hard disk
5. PROFIT!
Keep in mind that is the best case scenario (intel cpu with nvidia 600 and 700 series GPU). Google if there are any errors. Nvidia publishes drivers for all their gpus, but you'd have to install them later
>>54338175
it's unfair to compare adobe reader (presumably) and preview.app.
>>54338193
cont.
also there are free tools to make that easier, like bootdiskutility.exe, and hackintosh probably won't work on a lot of Motherboards. Find supported mobo list on something like tonymacx86. and you'd have to download sound kexts later too.
>>54331420
>quickly patched by Apple
This is a joke right?
>>54331284
It's not Unix at all, it just has a Unix certificate. Not a single line of OS X comes from Unix. Retards who spout "os x is Unix" have no clue what that even means.
>>54338204
Linux opened the file with evince, Windows opened the file with Sumatra PDF. Both are open source applications. At no point did I compare adobe reader and preview.app
>>54338280
actually, there is a very high chance some of the lines actually come from research unix
Unix -> BSD -> Nextstep -> OS X
>>54323985
Os x is great. The build quality is really good, but I wish Apple would stop updating the entire operating system every year and just focus on making the current one better. Every time they try to race for their yearly deadline of releasing a new OS, it just becomes buggy, messy and includes more problems than the last one. Last great os for os x was mountain lion. It was great and it just werked.

Nah
>>54339964
i mean i used graphite before, but then i realized that that's not how OS X is supposed to be
>>54340002
I don't give a shit what it's "supposed" to be, it's my computer and I'll have the OS look the way I want. With the flat theme that 10.10 and up has, graphite looks better, so I use graphite.
>>54340034
oh. i just use 10.9.5 and think graphite is a bad theme
>>54340197
Yeah on older versions I use Blue. Why so outdated?
>>54340230
i just like those silky smooth icons and buttons and other GUI widgets. and i head non-retina font rendering is worse in later versions.
>>54340259
Fonts looked worse in the 10.10 dp but iirc it was fixed by release, and the issues also not present in 10.11

Exactly.

I can't decide which is the best OS X, but it's definitely either Tiger or Leopard
>>54342796

Can't you just use parallel and have your wingames on your mac, I mean I doubt you were even playing anything that graphically intense where this would be an issue

>>54343100
Oh, didn't know. I guess I should try it.
seriously as a linuxfag myself, I really like os x font rendering (or fonts?). Tried packages like infiniality before but none of them can replicate os x rendering. I agree that os x has lots of retarded parts but font rendering is definitely not one of them. Does anybody know which font pack and/or font rendering related modifications do I need?
>>54338075
>Yeah there's some shit stuff like HFS but it literally doesn't make a difference to my day to day use
It will make a difference someday when the filesystem decides to shit itself. I've used all three major OSes for long periods of time and the only one where I've seen a corrupted and irrecoverable volume is OS X. And fucking twice. Keep backups.
>>54343212
OS X font rendering is nothing special nowadays, Mavericks was the last version with good font rendering. Nowadays it's very blurry, and I use OS X daily for several hours. You'll have guaranteed eye pain at the end of each day. And it only looks good on Retina/HiDPI displays, but all OSes look good with HiDPI displays.
>>54331420
>Useless bullshit
As a macfag I have to ask, who gives a shit? When will I ever use a goddamn text summarizer or emojis?
>>54331420
Adobe took their time to support hDPI on their tools.

>>54342802
10.5 supports PowerPC
Macfag here. OS X is inferior to Windows 10, just my personal experience. YMMV
>Significantly worse filesystem.
>Inferior software compatibility.
>Way more RAM usage, i.e. bloat. That's the main way Apple keeps its planned obsolescence rolling. Heavy usage of compressed memory even when unneeded means slower response times when resuming apps. Be prepared to buy a new computer every 3 years if you plan to do anything intensive.
>The OS is a black box. You'll see processes and you'll google them and nobody actually knows what the fuck are they for. Troubleshooting is hard even when you have the technical skills. Microsoft is more transparent about Windows, and you can even fine tune obscure details with Group Policies and the registry.
>Important bugs go unfixed sometimes for several versions. I.e. wifi bugs. Of course you can't downgrade your wifi drivers to an older, working version like you can do in Windows.
>Blurry font rendering.

it is about having a good design.
Before people were spouting object oriented applications and scalable structure, we had small applications. Applications were filters.
Because resources were sparse. people were not trying to scale things up, people looked at how to scale things down.
I know times have changed, but these tools are still really good.
Obviously they only really dealt with text, but a lot of tasks is exactly that.
