pretty outdated meme, to say the least
Do you want a working computer? Yes To play games? Yes -> Windows |--- No |--- Will you just browse the internet and maybe work with some sort of Office document? Yes |------ chromeOSDon't worry everyone, it's like the Sorting Hat, it takes your preference into account. Just say "not TempleOS" and you'll get into Linux.
Macintosh OS is the most fucked up UNIX I've ever used. Worse than Solaris 8
Working computer? Apple? Tell that to my dad. He destroys a Mac in about two years. Bought his house 7 years ago, and three dead macs in the basement.
Could you imagine if he used a PC?
Once, when I started a new job, I had to use an Apple laptop until my Linux laptop came. While the Apple laptop was better than I expected, it was still one of the most annoying weeks of my life. The most unbearable part was the keyboard. I could never tell which hotkeys used
ctrland what usedalt, and it just wasn't worth the effort of remembering the differences or remapping them.But besides that, after using Linux for 15 years, the very basic levels of configurability that the Apple window manager provides just made it look like a child's toy compared to Linux. In Linux, there are so many different window managers that it becomes very easy to customize an environment that works perfectly for you. With Apple, you just get what you're given and if it's bad or doesn't work well for your habits, then tough luck, you're stuck with it anyway. So in that respect, Apple computers don't work at all - you work for the computer, whereas it should be the other way around.
But at the end of the day, what it really comes down to is the fact that people just like what they're used to, and it sucks to change. What's best is a matter of preference; none is better objectively better than the other.
Except Windows. Fuck Windows.
I absolutely cannot figure out what to do in order to fix an Apple computer when it’s bugging out. Is it a part? The OS? Something external? How am I supposed to diagnose this fucker with so little information? Windows is rapidly heading down the same road. Linux will remain the final bastion of those who fix their electronics themselves
Where does OpenIndiana fit?
Too true. MacOS is the one place you can get a UNIX toolchain in a stable environment. If something works on my Mac, it works on my coworker’s Mac. If something works on Ubuntu but you’re using Nix… Uh, YMMV.
I love Linux, but if you’re gonna use it as a desktop OS, you pretty much accept that you now have a part-time job keeping up on Linux news to deal with the fact that each component of your system is in a perpetual state of “deprecated support for The Old Way, and experimental support for The New Way”.
It is shite to bully TempleOS's creator.
But it doesn't surprise me.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I love how controversial this one is.

After being forced to use an iMac in collage, I'll admit it's fine and definitely better than windows. But it's still annoying. I wouldn't call not being able to use the F key row, just because I dare to use a non apple keyboard a "working computer", just as a most in my face example, there's much more. It works and it does so looking pretty, as long as you have literally zero personal preferences.
I agree with the comments a Mac is better than windows no doubt
