  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

    This meme is old enough to drink.

    I tried to drink it but nothing happened? Maybe next year

    I was curious so I checked.

    Aqua OS X logo is 2001-2007.

    MS Vista - 7 Logo is 2006-2020.

    Seems like you are correct it if the meme creator used the most recent logos at the time. So 17 or 18 years old.

    MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

    Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

    Given that's actually the only way to do it... (Without resorting to jumping through hoops via emulation)

    And that is why my code will never be multiplatform. No way I'm going to sink several thousand dollars for a machine I will never use except as part of my build pipeline.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

    several thousand dollars

    You don’t need the latest and greatest to build smartphone apps.

    I've switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it's genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn't run like a furnace, even under load

    I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    MacBooks are great. You can still run Linux on it if you still want to use the hardware.

    Or you can try OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

    What is OpenCore?

    The m1 Mac mini when it launched for about a solid 18-24mo was the single best deal at the time (largely due to the insane GPU price hike admittedly but still very powerful objectively for the price). Very weird to say that but honestly it’s true. The minis are still very robust for the price.

    I would switch MacOS and Microsoft. You really have to be an idiot to install that malware onto your computer voluntarily. MacOS is much safer and if you still have the need for shenanigans you have a Unix terminal to play with.

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (2 children)

    you have to be an idiot to pay that much for something that locked down and unserviceable.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

    Weird you're getting downvoted. I mean, they're not literally idiots, sure, but macOS and Windows are both terrible options. Seems to be a lot of Apple fanboys in the comments.

    One does not simply install windows. It comes preinstalled

    I am self aware enough to know that I am an idiot, but still use Linux and Windows.

    Take that, flow chart!

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago

    2024 version: Are you an idiot? Windows Do you swim in money? Mac No? Linux

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (4 children)

    Wait I'm an idiot who has a life. Why am I on Linux?

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    I'm not sure there's a way to answer that without being unnecessarily mean.

    I’ve used Mac OS since 1988, BSD/UNIX since 1990, Linux since 1993 and Windows since 1995.

    Due to my expertise with all these operating systems, I make enough money to have a life.

    I predominantly use Apple hardware, partly because I can easily run all these OSes on it.

    The Intel "cheese grater" pros were a dream multi-boot machine. EFI, clean, capable of great RAM, nice drive bays, dual ethernet.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

    So wait... Since I use both linux and a mac I'm a no life idiot? Yep, checks out.

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

    I have a life and that’s why I use Linux because I don’t have 3h to wait for a single forced windows update

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (4 children)

    But I can't afford a Mac :(

    Programmers I’ve worked with all prefer MacBooks. And yes, you can run Linux on a Mac too.
