There is no reason to use Linux.

Enough already!
Variety is good
Freedom of choice is good
OS 10 from Apple is as free as paying to go to a village that you may not leave, but your free to stay, just don't try and explore the surroundings or dig a hole or we will be free to sue you.
>>42293008

Can i use openbox within osx?
>>42293008
it's not free.. you have to buy a mac
>>42293804
Not if you already have one.
>>42293814
that's not the definition of free though...
it's a free UPDATE, nothing more.
>>42293008
They're making it free so you upgrade your hardware more often.
Business 101 bby.
>>42293825
>that's not the definition of free though...
It's *my* definition of free. Also you can use a hackintosh.
>>42293841
you can also crack win8 and call it free...
it's just plain wrong saying OSX is free, when you need to buy the hardware or get it (not legally) to work with hackingtosh setups.
>>42293856
>it's just plain wrong saying OSX is free, when you need to buy the hardware or get it
You need to buy hardware to run windows and linux though so your statement is invalid.
>>42293856
>it's just plain wrong
it's not
>>42293867
>thats what macfags actually believe
it's not free if you have previously paid money for it. but just believe it.. you'll believe anything anyway apple tells you
>>42293867
Yes it is, you dumb mac shill.
>>42293866
But you can buy any shitty laptop or computer and put Windows or Linux on it. Hackintosh requires you to have an Intel CPU and all sorts just to get it working.
>>42293008
Can I install i3wn on it? And while you're at it, can I compile everything from source (including the kernel... Etc) just like Gentoo?
>>42293157
First time I see this but yeah. Stop the silliness. Reminds me of the dogecoin days.
Also OS X is fucking awesome. All it needs is a few tweaks to make it perfect.
>>42293008
Am I allowed to modify the source code and distribute modified versions of it?
>>42293204
Careful there, you ignorance of OS X is showing.
>>42293939
he's right though
>>42293045
> not understanding why he said "free beer"
You really are lost.
>>42293825
>>42293902
By that logic, Linux is free but you need a computer that can run it so it's not really free.
>>42293931
You mixing up free and libre.
>>42293957
no, since you can get any computer, you're not obliged to buy one from the manufacturer.
apple does not offer os x to be downloaded to use it with hackintosh, do they?
so hackintosh doesn't count, since it's not quite legal to get osx this way. but linux is
>>42293976
No in fact that's what free software means
Perhaps you're mixing up free and 'free of charge' and gratis
Typical applefaggots can't use a dictionary, lel, it's even in the apple dictionary under free software.
>>42293945
He's wrong you know. You can hack OS X to your heart's content. You can even install Windows on a Mac.
>>42293978
Of course Hackintosh is legal. Perhaps it's not supported by Apple but neither are most versions of Linux.
>>42294004
if its legal, apple would've a download link on their homepage.
>>42294004
>>Of course Hackintosh is legal.
No it's not.
>> You can hack OS X to your heart's content.
No you can't.
Fuck off, retard.
>>42294016
Windows is legal. It's not on Apple's web page, you're being silly.
>>42294050
But Windows isn't OS X is it you silly billy ;)

>>42294033

>>42294054
What's your point? You said legal.
>>42294033
Hackintoshing is against the EULA. Now if youve never broken the rules in a EULA you're a faggot and nobody likes you. Find me some legislature that actually gives a fuck about installing OSX on non-apple hardware.
Yes, you can. The kernel and many major components are open source and you can use your own DE/WM if you so desider and most linux programs run fine under OSX. Go fuck yourself, faglord.
>>42294082
Yeah we're talking about Hackintosh, which if it was legal (it isn't) then it would be supported more by Apple (which it isn't, because it's not legal). Why would you link Windows, a competing operating system, on a website that doesn't use their operating system?
You're just digging yourself deeper my friend
It's a good time to be Mac.

Why are macfaggots so stupid? The question was, IS IT LEGAL. The answer is NO IT'S NOT. Wow bro, you're such a badass bypassing copyright restrictions and claiming that it's legal, truly.
OS X is not free software. Period. Suck a dick, and use your own dictionary that's included with your fucking trash operating system. It will tell you the same thing. Stupid fucking retard macfaggots.
What's shit is once you go Mac, you don't go back.

just because you say something in capital letters doesn't mean it's true. which law am I breaking with my hackintosh?
>implying I give a shit about legality anyway
>>42294137
You're not obeying Apple's copyright restrictions, because the EULA is the license that OS X is distributed under. You're breaking copyright law. If you don't give a shit, then don't claim it's legal. The whole point of free software is that you can use it however you want, except in the case of the copyright hack (the GPL) where it restricts you from restricting others.
OS X is not free software. It is not legal to install on non-Apple computers due to copyright restrictions. Now fuck off.
>>42294137
It doesn't matter what you give a shit about cuntface.
>>42294156
>You're breaking copyright law.
i'm breaking the EULA not copyright law. try again.
>>42294190
You're breaking copyright law if you run your business off hackintoshes you fucking moron. You're also breaking a contract (the EULA) that is enforcable through court. You only have the right to use that software by fucking agreeing to everything in that EULA. EULAs are simply contractual extensions to existing legislation, and so you are fucking wrong.

>>42294190
If you have no license to copyrighted material, you may not use, redistribute or alter it, or you're breaking copyright law.
If you break the license, you have no license.
That's how it works, I think.

>>42294225
>You're breaking copyright law if you run your business off hackintoshes you fucking moron.
nobody would do this anyway also you're the only one mentioning a business and you only started doing it about halfway into the argument so it's invalid

Ain't got time for a shit OS I need Ubuntu for work.
Ubuntu runs on more devices than OS X.
>>42294359
All I hear is fucking damage control. You are wrong. EULAs are extensions to existing legislation: they are a license that include contractual provisions outside the reach of copyright, and require you to accept it before you can use their works.
Now please put a fucking gun in your mouth and pull the trigger, you stupid macfaggot.

not that guy, but listen here, dumbass

If you buy it, you're still breaking contractual obligations that are outside of the reach of copyright law that they force you to accept before you can use it.

Windows is free software because Windows 8.1 update is free. Discuss.

>>42294675
>The OS X EULA has already been to court
In what country?
>>42294389
EULAs aren't always enforcable, there are various Supreme Court decisions about this. Apple's "you can only use this on Mac hardware" steeze probably won't fly as the justices who don't understand technology would probably point to the "free" price-tag despite the EULA, making the EULA unconscionable.
>Apple's "you can only use this on Mac hardware" steeze probably won't fly
There has already been court cases with this exact provision. They won.
Why do macfaggots feel the need to drag out this conversation, in an attempt to damage control or what?
>>42294696
Your whole has been "well it's only illegal to install OS X on a computer not made by Apple on some places".
There are 0 places where it's illegal to install Windows on a computer not made by Microsoft or a distro on a computer not made by GNU/EFF/Linux.
>>42294723
>>42294675
Not against end-users but commercial hackintosh sellers. End-users have consumer protection laws so Apple won't risk going after individuals for a suit they can lose.
>>42294692
EULAs are legal contracts enforceable under contract law, but they should obey consumer protection and anti-trust laws.
Suing end-users would be terrible publication for Apple and they never do that so we don't know if it would hold.
>>42294694
Fairly sure I recall a company that built hackintoshes for a few months and then were sued by Apple

EULAs are not enforceable in court, as you cannot agree to the terms of the contract before you purchase and then must agree to them to make use of the goods you have already purchased.

I bet you can't find one legitimate reason. Being forced to give access to the source doesn't count.
>>42304118
GPL makes sure any software that uses GPL remains useless.
Suddenly Stallman=controlled opposition makes sense
>>42304118
Not that guy but ironically enough Microsofts accusations of the GPL being a viral license are actually true with version 3. Forcing you to use the same license is absolutely unacceptable. Forcing you to adopt a software as a service business model is unacceptable.
You stallmanites keep using the word freedom to describe what you're trying to push onto the world but I really don't see how this is being free. My code, my choice, Your computer, your choice as to whether or not you run my code.

>implying you cant get OSX unless you have a "mac"
lol
>>42304339
Invalid.
>>42304415
So it doesn't allow you to distribute proprietary software or software that may as well be proprietary, since it can't be altered on the device. That is also invalid.
>>42304491
I suppose license incompatibility may be an actual issue, but the BSD license allows for proprietary code, so I wouldn't blame the GPL or v3 for the fault of the BSD licenses.

Bullshit you need to be using Apple hardware with a pre-existing registered copy of OSX Mountain Lion or less.
It is only free as an upgrade to OSX users, not to the whole world. Stop misleading people you asslord.
Linux is free because it runs on any given hardware mix. Windows comes second as it also runs on variety of hardware without restriction.

The guy ITT that's basically saying OSX is opensource and "free" is wrong.
>>42308524
You mean OP?
>>42308558
Is he the one arguing? he had a name but took it off. If that's the case, then yes.
>>42308577
He used the phrase "free software" to describe it, that's all I'm going off of.
osx isn't free, the cost is included when you purchase a mac.
if it were 'free', you would be able to download the iso's legitimately from apple, and you wouldn't need to throw together software to trick it to work, and you wouldn't need to break the eula to do so.
yes, you can argue all day long about how eulas dont hold up in court, it doesn't change the fact that osx is not 'free'.
updates are free? yes, but considering i paid for updates after 10.6.8 i guess i will be waiting for my refund for a while now
>>42308676
>yes, you can argue all day long about how eulas dont hold up in court
If feel like most of the thread is arguing the other way, actually. They're wrong, but they're doing it.
>>42308700
i honestly, didn't read the thread, but the fact remains osx isn't 'free', you pay for it when you buy your shiny new laptop
>>42308744
pretty sure whether i upgrade my os or not the laptop costs the same bro
>>42308760
when you buy a windows laptop you pay for the copy of windows, i don't know if people still do it but you used to be able to order laptops without an OS for less of a charge.
>>42294091

So how is that better than a Linux distro?

You have to buy a computer to run Linux.
How is Linux free? It's a free upgrade from having no OS, nothing more.
>>42308300
So it's not free.

>>42308933
>nothing more
lel quite an assumption.
Let's say i inherent a broken pc, i swap the broken parts with newer one, and installed a os suitable for ancient pc. I just bought maybe a hdd or ram, it's infinitely cheaper than $999 mac as a dumb terminals.
let's see how your free osx can install on an ancient pentium.
>>42293605
Yes
>>42293804
No you don't
>>42293931
Mainly, yes. Depends on what part of the soure we're talking and what license it's under.

Well of course it does. Ubuntu is generically designed to run on x86_64 computers. OS X is specifically designed to run on certain PowerPC, x86, and ARM computers.
>>42294509
You don't need an existing version of OS X to obtain the newest version for free.
>>42294688
You need Windows 8 to get 8.1 for free, don't you? You don't need 10.8 to get 10.9 for free.
>>42298619

Unless you're a masochist why would you want to?
So nobody's successfully put OS X on a C720 yet have they?
Other than the fact that getting a Hackintosh to run properly is like using Slackware 1.0?
>>42309868
I did it on a Cr-48, but I'm not sure about the C720.

I've heard that people were having a hard time with the trackpad, wifi, and keyboard, and I'm actually liking chrome os a bit too much to test it right now.

That's an outright lie.
Protip: you are able to prove me wrong and yourself right by posting an official download link.
>>42309981
It's not. Put a blank HDD or SSD in a Mac and when you boot it it'll ask if you want to download and install the latest version of OS X. This is built into the EFI.
>>42301236
>It uses BSD code, but doesn't return some of the cool stuff they built on top
A lot of the "cool stuff" is patented software and algorithms. This is why the BSD licence is superior. GPL sucks because it's the programming equivalent of the one drop rule.

OS X is designed for Macs anyway, why run it on something else?

It's not.
>>42293028
Free as in bend over.
>>42310214
>Still not paying for the OS
Not getting it for free (at zero expense) either. You can get Windows for free too.
>OS X is designed for Macs anyway, why run it on something else?
Because I want.
Also because I like laptops but Macbooks look like shit.
Also because that's the point of this troll thread.

$2000 for a facebook machine
meanwhile, x60s purchased from ebay, with dock, for $60. Working battery was another $20. Install Linux with gnome 3.12. Congratulations, I now have a better netbook than a macbook air for about 1/25th of the cost.

not a macfag, but new thinkpads are even more overpriced
and they all look like they were intentionally designed to be ugly
>>42310264

>There is no reason to use Linux.
What if I dont want to be watched by nsa?
Free in terms of cost, but still proprietary, and therefore a possible host of NSA spyware. Also, Linux runs on more hardware. If Linux works on my Thinkpad and OS X does not, why would I get another laptop with inferior hardware just to run OS X?
>>42310304
most used thinkpads are business machines. given a proper refurb that any reputable seller will do, they're basically like new.
and btw, I think the classic thinkpad design looks much better than the macs do. It looks like a laptop designed to be used, not to be carried as a fashion accessory.

Why do you do this?

Of course it's free, why would people want to pay for a dumb os used exclusively as terminal.
Oh but it's not free, you pay it with your privacy because proprietary backdoored.
>>42294469
that is not even free as in beer.
Its like

Pays 1300$ for computer, says the Os is free... Are you dense?
