What's the point when I can already install a better UNIX-like OS for free?

>>54556429
I've built hackintoshes and owned Apple computers. The OS is simply inferior to Windows. There's no way to argue that.

i use linux and it's fun to shit on OS X but calling it worse than windows just makes you less credible. stop hyperbolizing.

windows is garbage. if you don't see much criticism of it, it's only because when people announce horse races they don't mention the dead ones in the same breath as the ones that are actually still running the race.

- irrational rage over little things
- cognitive issues (like not investigating the source, authors, etc... of a news story)
- sluggishness/fatigue (look at all the depressed/NEET threads)

Yes, but I would put it on a VM for netbooting macs, hosting itunes media libraries, and running xcode. Nothing else.

I would run it in a VM if there were ANY graphical drivers.

OSX is borderline okay in terms of some userland stuff. I enjoyed spotlight and their built in dictionary thing that uses the OED. Msft needs to step up their game and add an offline OED to Cortana


HFS+ is next level cancer though, I'd much rather cede my firstborn to NTFS if I had to pick.
>>
>>54557510
What problems did you specifically have with HFS+?
>>
>>54557549
case insenstivity
no checksums
no snapshots

My information is a bit outdated, so some of my other complaints may have been addressed over time but I'm pretty sure HFS+ still can't do these.

You can tell even Apple wants to ditch it, but hasn't found or developed an alternative that fits their needs or wants
>>
>>54557614
Seems like you gave me the wikipedia page of hfs+

So what FS do you use in Linux that has snapshotting?

Butterfinger FS kills data more than HFS+ ever has.

Possibly, probably not. For now, I'll settle for a VMWare image.

I already have it installed. Would pay $25 for licence.
>>
>>54557510
Does it matter? You need to keep regular backups of your systems anyway. HFS+ has not given me any problems in real use (which is more than I can say for NTFS). On the tiny off chance it does suffer some catastrophic failure, I could be fully reinstalled and all data restored within ~2 hours.

We're not talking about server/NAT use.

What 4chan css is that?
>>
>>54558130
every time i try to get someone to hypothesize about why we're not seeing massive scale data loss across countless users, the theories have been bad (maybe intentionally so). like "well maybe they don't notice because they just store images of gay sex lolol".

like fine sure os x users are all storing gay photos and whatnot. so how is the OS not coming apart at the seams as a result of corruption across the entire operating system, unless in practice (either because of mitigating factors or because of other reasons) this isn't nearly as consequential a problem as described?
>>
....nothing? Because I already can and I already did?

Hackintosh works pretty well compared to years ago.

What I do currently is dual boot Windows and Hackintosh. I use OSX as my main operating system and replaced the Windows 10 shell with Big Picture.
>>
>>54556429
I would install it, but only on laptop. I can pay up to 200$ if someone took care of the shitty bootloaders and really made it work with drivers.

do you have to post this in literally every thread about OSX you autist?

not him, but i have a rMBP and a hackintosh. certainly the hackintosh is marginally less stable, but i rely on it to drive my external monitors and host several terabytes of data. i have very low tolerance for shit not working, so if it was more than *marginally* less stable than my rMBP, i'd switch back to some linux distribution

About $25

They can't even get the OS to run flawlessly on their own hardware builds. What chance does every other PC have.

400 USD. It have the input method that enable me to type my native language into computer while all windows-based input method does not support that particular input method (except on windows phone). I am actually considering replace my thinkpad with macbook just because of this.

if you mean that they stopped trying to make it difficult for users, i'd pay $50 without having to think twice about it.

>>54556429
Fuck no, OSX/iOS is the main reason I don't use apple prodcuts. Their hardware has its problems too but frankly so does pretty much everything. It's the software that gives me the shits.
>>
>>54558485
you like the hardware, but don't like os x?
you lump os x together with iOS?

i guess there's no explaining retards

Went from Mountain Lion to this; feels good man ;)

>>54558505
I don't LIKE the hardware, I just don't think it's BAD or anything when compared to most of the laptop market. I personally would buy something else first but it's not BAD. The OS, is.

I was not lumping iOS in with OSX merely pointing out that I hate both and that's the reason I don't own ANY Apple hardware at all. iOS obviously has nothing to do with OSX being shit.

idk probably like £50 at max, with free updates.
It's a nice Unix environment for developing in, and anyone who denies that is a moronic Winbaby who's never used it

I'd pay $120 max.

No,It is more ugly and less supported than windows and linux.
