Why are so many Linux users and developers moving to macOS?
People probably just got bored with linux, the same way that happened to windows a couple years ago
Probably given a free macbook from apple or their company. Companies often allow you to choose between windows or macos and many Linux users choose macos because unix
my company allows the three, i chose Linux.
because it actually works
yes
/thread
/unthread
they aren't
itoddlers in denial that their os was overtaken by gentoo in market share. macos peaked.
>chromeOS
>lonix
pick one
are you moronic?
>based on
moron
oh so you are moronic, gotcha
found the moron
found the freetard
Linux is a hobbyist thing. They just grew out of that phase. There is unironically no reason to use linux over macos except for the enjoyment of customizing everything and being like the vegans "oh, I use GAYTOO by the way!" to everyone
as a nigerian
It's just webdev shits, they've been doing that for a long time. Corps give you a choice between a Windows and Mac machine, there's no Linux option.
Because Linux is a pain on the ass as a desktop OS
this
macOS is a really nice and beautiful OS. I'm saying that after having used Ubuntu as my main rig since 2004 or so. Sure it's not as flexible and developer friendly as Ubuntu, but it is beautiful and rock solid stable. No random crashes, no random UI freeze, they say it just werks, and I tend to agree with that. Linux is a freeing OS in the sense that it frees you from the bounds and limitations that Microsoft and Apple shackle their users with. But that freedom comes at the cost of being free from useful things as well: commercial close-source software, drivers, integration with a smart phone or tablet, things that are desperately needed but missing in Linux. I can't recall how many times I've had to upvote someone's message pleading a software company to port their shit to Linux. No one does. And no one will. KDEnLive is nice, but it's not FinalCut Pro. Ardour is okay, but it's not pro tools. Libre cad is meh, but it's not AutoCAD. So if you are a Linux user who really misses their proprietary software that will never be ported to Linux, your next best bet is of course Mac, because Darwin is another POSIX-complaint OS, and is in a lot of ways similar to Linux, especially the terminal. That's why very likely, my next laptop will very likely be a mac. But my desktop workstation will forever be Ubuntu or some flavor of it.
and windows will always be a virtual machine. Always.
how can loonix even compete?
it cant
this
>why would someone with a job want to waste 5 hours each day fixing loonix problems when they don't have to?
Because your time is valuable and you are doing a disservice to yourself by wasting your time in dealing with a garbage desktop OS like Linux.
t. someone who fell for the Linux desktop meme and now uses a Mac
They are? You sure? I don't see why anyone would downgrade.
because they have jobs and can't waste their lives on hobbyist trash to get real work done
>typing on a mac
>real work
>ricing your stinkpad
>real work
Anecdotal evidence:
At the companies I've worked at you get to choose between windows or mac
They usually don't allow linux because they use some kind of remote access or corporate software that is not available on linux
The choice between mac and windows becomes easier since macos > windows for development
Linux is better, but when you can't have it you use the 2nd best instead of the worst
I'm moving to macos because I've given up.
Nobody wants to listen to me
I've been the crazy crackpot friend for over 15 years despite all my predictions being correct they still dismiss me. Nobody wants to fight for their rights. Nobody cares. Why should I even bother anymore? Who am I even trying to save? I might as well get eaten by the machine

They aren't, that's why you had to post the photoshopped image instead of the original where he's running Fedora.
only real answer in this thread

What is option + up arrow
It's troons. They transition to MacOS after transitioning.
