  1. I'm not currently a Mac user, but when I was or needed to be, I thought they were very nice. But they were the older models. Unlike Linux, which, as a desktop, actually does suck. The Mac's major negative is the price. No command line? I consider that to be a positive. Linux relies way too much on terminals. This is 2024. Guis were invented decades ago. It should be possible for the typical user to never need a terminal. And I mean never ever. And yes, we had Mac zealots. Now we have Linux zealots.

  2. There are too many of those already. Besides, Windows is fine, in my opinion... excluding 8/8.. 10 was better. 11 even better.

  3. You're right about the apps, but I dont like the OS either. It's a mess. In fact, the whole Linux scene is a mess.

  4. Might look for your blog. Did you dable with computers in the 70s? I'm thinking we might be around the same sge. I'm returing soon. I stmrtaeted in the 70s with home addempled systems as a hobby, then later the C64, which I helped develop software for. Did a lot of 6510 machine code stuff, then later in the 80s, the Amiga and 68000 machine code. Got into PCs in the 90s and then C++ Windows development professionally, and still doing it.

  5. I never used an Atari, but I can say the Amiga was better than the first Macs. I've used both.

  6. I was forced to use Linux for a year as a cost cutting measure, and I hated it. Worst OS I'd encoundered in a decade. And unstable to boot. Eventually, the company must have realised the mess and switched us back back to Windows 7. That was some time near the end of support for Windows 7. It was some version of Ubuntu if memory serves me. I have tried unstalling Linux on some older hardware just for curiosity's sake, but it never worked.

  7. Saving clicks and keystrokes don't count for much in the overall cost of doing business. The time wasted in finding which obscure terminal command to use or the time spent tracking down some obscure driver for this or that distro would waste a years worth of clicks and key strokes.

  8. It's an OS made for users, the way cars are made for drivers. To continue the analogy... car drivers don't need to know how a car works. Car drivers don't need to tinker under the hood before driving. Linux is the car that requires the driver to be the tinkerer, the mechanic, and the auto electrician. Even worse, your car is delivered flat packed with missing parts. That's Linux.
