  1. Yeah, I would agree. The Mac is way better than Linux. Even Windows is.

  2. Linux IS the problem. Linux requires a LOT of tinkering to make it work. In fact, tinkering is a Linux selling point, right? That's what the fans tell me.

  3. OS X is a really common way to say it. In fact, I rarely hear anyone calling it OS 10. Perhaps it depends on where you live. It has always been OS X.

  4. ​ @chriss3404 Another person talking about a "daily driver" wtf. Is this some kind of Linux jargon?

  5. ​ @chriss3404 Sorry for being late but thanks. I'd never heard that term until watching a few Linux topic videos. What I've noticed is how Linux users are so strong on how "Linux is the best". I tried it and hated it. I struggle to understand in what way it is the best. I've tried macs and found them to be pretty nice, but I'm not a mac user right now. We had to use Linux systems for work. It was awful. Main problem was instability and losing work due to crashes. Linux and its software just wasn't as polished. We reverted to Windows after a few months. Maybe just a one-off. I did try to install Linux on an old PC prior to that experience but it never worked. There seems to be a lot of pain in switching. So, it puzzles me.

  7. Linux is NOT designed for normal people. That's why it's unpopular. Windows and Mac are for normal people. Linux is by developers for developers.

  8. I was going to say that but you said it better. Yeah, Linux fans triggered.

  9. ​ @duckner Both Linux desktop and Android suck in my opinion. Sadly, I have to use Android because it's cheap. But it sucks. The UI is a brain-dead stupid design.

  10. Why? I fell in love with C++. You have a problem with that? And I'm not gay.

  11. As opposed to the Linux cult? I would choose Apple over Linux any day. But I don't have to because I'm a Windows software developer, and changing would make no sense. Windows market share: 72%, OS X: 15%, Linux desktop distros: 4.5%

  12. Not really.

  13. You sound like a kid who's just been told his toy truck sucks. Calm down.

  14. Mac is the nicest most polished OS. Windows is the best allrounder. Linux is not best at either. I have degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics and 28 years software development.

  15.  @Jason-ot6jv  It kind of makes sense to me. If Linux offers no real advantage and the community is toxic, especially when one needs help from said community, then yeah, ditch it.
