Why do you guys hate Mac OSX so much it's literally the perfect system. All the benefits of Windows and all the benefits of Linux.

What else am I missing?
macOS isn't Mac OS X

a brain. to use gayOS you need to buy overly expensive and shit-tier hardware
>Things just work no troubleshooting (Linux)
Do you really believe the shit that comes out of your mouth?
yes, because I actually use Linux. sounds like a skill issue, maybe you lost too many braincells using your locked down spyware OS
You are proving my point by admitting it's a skill issue and not for people with no braincells. No one wants a fridge that needs 200 IQ and skill to use dumbass
you are proving my point by admitting you don't have two functioning braincells to click a few buttons to install an OS
you don't need 200IQ but at least 3 digits would be nice, which you likely don't have
>Things don't just work on Linux
Ironically enough I use Linux yet I can vibe with this. Anytime I use a "just works" distro I inevitably come across something broken, and if it's not after setup it will be at some point down the line.
To combat these issues I've taken to using Arch, because if something breaks at least I know it's my fault and can troubleshoot with an idea of what went wrong.
If it's overly expensive, try to find an alternative to MacBook Air M1 without compromising. Even if you double the budget, you will find nothing.
>M1
your garbage with a worse CPU than what I had a decade ago is the definition of "compromising"
skill issue. my distro wasn't affected by the xz backdoor
You had a passively cooled CPU faster than the M1 in 2014? Remarkable. Can I borrow your time machine? What's 2034 tech like?
Autistic neets on IQfy can only afford 10 year old thinkpads, therefore its better (aka sour grapes). See
>le macOS... is le spyware!!! That's why I love using shit with lots of backdoors (with XZ being one of them)!!!
Another low IQ troonix pajeet talking point. Yawn.
go back
just work no troubleshooting (Linux)
Yeah, about the benefits. I agree. But what Apple did to it was a catastrophe. Mac OS X is full of spyware. It is unacceptable. Also, the walls garden Mac OS puts upon you is equally as unacceptable.
Did you know that Mac OS actively scans your pictures and tax them? Just to make sure you're not a pedophile. How thoughtful of them. Completely raping your privacy in the process. So if they're capable of doing such things, what stops them to completely looking at every single file you got on your hard drive? The answer is nothing and they will eventually, so that's the reason to not use any Apple product.
And there's also the overpriced hardware completely locked. So no, not a chance. I won't use this piece of shit. I'm gonna stick to my Linux boxes and be happy.
>Did you know that Mac OS actively scans your pictures
Source?
Apple privacy policy of personal use data
>Security and Fraud Prevention. To protect individuals, employees, and Apple [...] prescreening or scanning uploaded content for potentially illegal content, including child sexual exploitation material.
Learn how to read your user agreement, homosexual. Before asking for a source that is in front of you, you absolute frick head.
This only happens on-device and if you have iCloud photos enabled.
The buffoonery you showing monkey. Is fricking unbelievable
>prescreening or scanning uploaded content
not my problem, I don't upload content
kys
buy the stand
>No worry about malware (Linux)
There is more malware in macOS. Also Apple literally sells your data ILLEGALLY themselfs so you don't even need malware to do that.
>Easy to download programs (Windows)
It is easiest in Linux. "y Teamviewer" is easier than to use 15 minutes to do that in macOS.
>Things just work no troubleshooting (Windows)
Windows is literally the "reinstall once a year" meme. It breaks on every update somehow.
>Useful command line (Linux)
macOS has limited shit command line.
>No bloat (Linux)
macOS is one of the most bloated systems out there...
>Has every mainstream app (Windows) (Excel, Photoshop, iBooks)
It doesn't have most of my Linux applications available. But Linux has 99% of the macOS and Windows applications available and even games. Apple knows this because they copy pasted compatibility layer from Linux and even Windows had to implement WSL.
What else am I missing?
You are missing security, privacy and freedom. Enjoy Apple cucking you and selling your user data to India/China/Russia.
>Also Apple literally sells your data ILLEGALLY themselfs
Apple main source of income isn't israeliteing out your data like Google or Meta lol moronic fricking andjeet
If m3 mac mini comes with standard 16 gb ram this summer I'll buy one
I'm currently in the most hipster infested area in Berlin, in some homosexual wine bar (which has power sockets), trying to perform some data recovery for some old filmgay (who, of course, uses Applel) on a 2TB SSD with an APFS partition, and all I can say is you iToddlers deserve to be ripped off.
Really, the worst thing about Applel are the people who use it, nah, frick this shit and frick these hipsters.
yearly releases, you'll never have a stable system. apple isn't focused on desktop computers anymore and it shows.
>cant pirate games
>cant pirate software
>cant run le based cracked software and emulators from 80s and 90s
>total disregard for backwards compatibility
>keeps changing the basedUI every year just so the yearly useless HW iterations look different
>cant install many apps without having a heckin apple account with ID verification
yeah kys apple shill.
I ran high sierra for a couple years and upgraded to mojave at some point. Here's what I can say regarding some of your points :
>No worry about malware
If you ignore all the malware it comes with, sure.
>Easy to download programs
True, but the install process is just moronic. Mounting a .dmg file and dragging something to you Apps folder is way more of a hassle than just running an installer or using a package manager.
>Things just work
On apple hardware, sure, as long as you don't try to run 32 bit programs. Running it on bare metal is suffering. Running it in a VM and passing through a GPU makes it so much easier.
>useful command line
It comes with the basic *nix utilities, which is nice, but if you need anything beyond that, the lack of package manager is keenly felt. There is homebrew, sure, but you need to install it. You shouldn't need to install a third-party program to get such basic functionality.
>no bloat
I don't think Stocks, Chess, News and Podcasts are critical system applications
>Has every mainstream app
For work, sure, but it's worthless as far as entertainment is concerned. It's even worse than Linux when it comes to running games.
Regarding my own issues with it:
>Window management sucks, there's no window snapping and/or tiling. At least there wasn't in High Sierra.
>It's needlessly complicated in some ways.Spotlight search, Exposé and Mission control all have separate shortcuts, while GNOME effectively gives you all three in its Overview, with a single keypress/gesture.
>UI/Text scaling sucks. If your display isn't close enough to "Retina" density, you''ll be rendering everything at a higher resolution and scaling it down, which really hurts performance.
Honestly, give it a proper window manager, streamline it a bit, cut back on the botnet stuff, ship it with a package manager, improve software/hardware compatibility and I'd happily use it.

>All the benefits of Windows and all the benefits of Linux.
its proprietary you moron
youre correct for the most part, with some caveats (you dont have to worry about malware on windows anymore), but particularly the command line part is the most underrated aspect
although windows obviously wins on support for applications and games
basically, its fine
anyone arguing over apple vs microsoft in 2024 is moronic
