it's because the company's major function is designing.

Right.

Because I can actually change the way Linux looks.

It looks like a price of shit. Icons look something like fisher price. Dock and taskbar take half the screen

Make usability the major function. Apple is retarded

I always thought windows 7 looked really nice, but I guess windows 10 looks even nicer.
Nevertheless, I don't use an operating system because it is "pleasant to look at", that's what desktop environments are for. I use GNU+Linux

The DE doesn't respect screen real estate with the dock. XFCE with whisker menu instead of dock, or Cinnamon is way better.

10.9 was a lot more pleasant to look at too be honest

>>55207668
Because at Apple people who care about design and are good at it have actually something to say. At Apple design is actually more or less the center of their work and everything else kind of builds around it.

Their competitors (Microsoft, Google, Freetards) on the other hand don't take it seriously at all (Microsoft treats it like a nuisance, Google like a hobby, Freetards don't even have even somewhat professional designers working for them).

It may be nice to look at for you. Apple spends a lot to make its brand seem more premium and elegant and special, so that you are ready to spend more on their products.
>>
>>55210599
What are you trying to say?
>>
>>55210618
It's not that they are objectively better. If you find a person who has never come in contact with the marketing of the brand in the least, would be indifferent.
There have been tests on how people perceive apple, and unlike a lot of other brands, areas in the brain were activated that were connected to "liking people". They sponsor people a lot of people might like with their devices and then people connect apple to them in a way as well, and they end up connecting the whole user experience with that with time as well. Of course, there are also other aspects like their brand positioning etc.

I hate the colors on Mac OSX >10.9. Not sure why. Something about the gradients or the saturation or something. I mean, look at that Safari icon. It looks awful.

That being said 10.6 is still one of the greatest looking operating systems IMHO.

Say what you want about OSX I still haven't found a good replacement for the 12 GB Garageband Essentials. The default sounds and drumsets are high quality as fuck. Legit best I've used ootb

For the same reason men are more pleasing to look at than women. Your gay.

>>55207668

Because that's its main feature. The idea of Apple products is that they're pretty, and simple. Much like that which their users strive to be.

-shit OS

nice theme, i never figured out how to get openbox working. back when i used #! it was a really nice setup along with tint2. is there a starter guide for this?

Because of simple design, rounded icons, and relaxing backgrounds. It's not exactly rocket science.

Gnome is actually decent out of the box. I don't know why do people hate on it. I used to use it exclusively before I got OS X.

Probably just old. And old things are bad.
