Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux?
fodor@lemmy.zip 1 day agoI find Linux far easier to use than anything else because most decent distros come with all the software I want, or it is trivial to install, and it’s all free.
Most of that software is available for Apple or Windows, but it’s a PITA to install. Giant waste of time. And money, of course. And of you install Windows, you gotta manually disable all the shit advertising.
All of that without needing the command line, even.

MacOS software is extremely easy to install. Drag package icon from mounted drive (with auto popup) to Applications.

It’s even easier with Brew: have terminal window open, type
brew install librewolf& if MacOS complains,xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LibreWolf.app(for example to get a nice bland browser without corporate spyware). Every now and then,brew upgrade librewolf.Zexks@lemmy.world 23 hours ago

“Its even easier here. Just open a console and type in gibberish”
This is not a thing outside of linux.

I didn’t even want to bring up brew, which is also great. I know it’s cool to hate on MacOS, but for both “getting shit done” and mostly “just working” (drivers, etc) I think MacOS is the best intersection of those needs. The hardware is also easily the best available.
