Comment on Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it

  MacOS is the worst part about Apple. Their hardware is amazing, but the software (third and first party) sucks.

    How so? It’s a polished Unix desktop that runs most open-source and a bunch of proprietary apps, including Final Cut and Logic. It’s natively POSIX and has a proper shell.

      It’s alright. Personal preference has me sticking with Linux, and I’ll never touch Windows with a ten foot pole if I can avoid it, but MacOS is certainly commendable.

      Before I went Linux, I daily drove hackintoshes for a decade or so - back when the hardware was bad and the software was first class. Now it’s the other way around!

      If Asahi ever get their kernel perfect, I’m definitely buying a modern MacBook Pro. No doubt about it.

        I was watching a Twitch stream from a programmer and he said the same thing, about Apple switching from bad hardware/good software to good hardware/bad software. I do think modern macOS is so much better than modern Windows, but it’s far from where it was. Though that might just be me being nostalgic; 10.5-10.9 (Leopard to Mavericks) was my personal “golden age”.

    Many Linux distros support Mac devices.

  MacOS is extremely barebones. Almost two years ago I got a MacBook to work on a customer project. Until then I’ve only been on Linux and Windows 10. And boy was I in for a surprise. I kind of got used to it, but let me give you a few examples.

  You want to tab between windows and not apps? Better pay for an app. You want to snap your windows left or right? An app. You want to control which app outputs to which audio device? You guessed it - an app. Clipboard? App. Configure mouse acceleration? An app (linear mouse).

  I mean, the OS is polished and looks great. And if all you do is swoosh windows left and right in Starbucks, that’s all you need. But for anyone else it’s just sad how little it supports out of the box.

    Jesus Christ it has most of those things. What are you even talking about?

    PEBCAK

    Yyyeeeeaaaaa…… those all exist within MacOS natively.

      Literally all of those. Imagine buying apps instead of learning the DE/OS.

    Tab between windows: Alt+~

    All the other stuff is available for free so why does it matter that it doesn’t come with it if 99.9% of people don’t need it?

  For what? Or at what?

    If you were asking that genuinely I’d answer. But I’m trolling you all just as much as you think you’re trolling me.

      I’ve barely used MacOS, so it’s a genuine question
