Yeah, very sorry that this app is Windows only, would love to switch to Mac

At least when I open up Mac OS, it doesn’t show me a pop up ad telling me how XBOX CONTROLLERS COME IN SO MANY COLORS NOW click here to buy.

I’ve gotten that pop up the last 3 times I’ve booted up my windows machine.

Windows is great for gaming. But it’s the only thing I turn that machine on for.

I much prefer Windows to MacOS. The fact it is missing decent tiling is a nonstarter. It's too inflexible for my workflow.

And sure, Windows can be maddeningly inconsistent, but what really destroys the experience is the constant ensh*ttification. I know a lot of people here hate everything about Windows, but for me, it only sucks because Microsoft designs it to suck.

Not only are there ads and (some) first party lockin, I cannot trust they will continue offering updates, paywall feaures, restrict more functionality, or insert stuff like AI to mess up my workflow.

I used to think reliability was just about stability and bugginess, but now I think it is about trust as well.

Mac is worse than Windows

Lol, is this meme for real? Most mac users would never touch Linux. Like, yes, they are both based on Unix... But come on now, this is just intellectually dishonest.

Most Mac users, in my experience, have no idea how to operate anything without an apple logo on it.

MacOS is still Unix under the hood, and has been since they adapted NeXTSTEP.

Maybe it's just because I'm fundamentally more of a console user than a windowing-system user, but to me a Unix-based OS is always going to be a winner compared to Windows.

But, if you want to laugh at OSes, laugh at classic MacOS, where everything would grind to a halt if you clicked and held the mouse button.

As both a MacOS and Linux user I agree with myself on the regular that Windows is shit.

I also wash my hands on the regular.

Great meme, very accurate.

All three are shit. You can't change my mind.

Sorry but as a Linux user I found that Windows is better than macos. Macos doesn't even have proper window management.

Missing the third hand for Windows users

Honestly MacOS is not great. At least with windows machines you can boot into a live system.

Mac users are at the sink right next to them also washing their hands. We don’t talk about the nasty things Linux users do with their hands.

I cant wait to fully abandon windows with my next tower (Already on Linux with my deck) but MacOS is FAR MORE cancer than M$, part of the issue with M$ is it keeps trying to be more and more like Apple

2 edits: I think someone replied to this and then blocked me (or someone I've blocked replied to me somehow) as apparently theres a response to this but I cant see it nor have I been notified

And

Damn, a lot of you apparently want a mega corp have complete control over what what your operating system looks like/does/what accessories you can buy for it if you think Apple is in anyway better than Microsoft. I thought the whole point of jumping to linux was freedom, you have LESS freedom with macs than with PC's

Windows > macos

in my opinion:

software: mac/osx >> windows

community/environment: windows/microsoft >> mac/apple

if we're solely talking about how good the os is, i would have to say mac. but considering everything else, i would prefer windows

I will always choose Windows over Mac, if I have to. Using MacOS is infuriating on so many levels, I'd rather give myself the bullet (which doesn't mean much tbh). At least I can ameliorate Windows for my VMs (in case of apps not working on Wine) which makes it ok to use

I know that this is irrational and I try to not let it influence my perception of people, but my brain is usually wired to "Mac user detected: technical opinion discarded"

I have to use all three what does that make me

Linux > windows 10 > Windows 11 > MacOS is my experience, I just can't stand apple and their walled gardens. I hate that they try to force me to use their shitty cloud and prevent me from installing third party apps. Windows 11 hhurts my eyes. And as a W10 refugee that's gotten used to linux, I think its tolarable

For me, they both suck. I've been on Linux for close to 10 years now and continue to enjoy it more and more.

However, I will say, that if I need to recommend a computer to somebody who knows nothing about computers and doesn't want to know anything, I will recommend Apple. I die a little inside each time though, knowing about their right to repair and privacy policies.

Gotta scrub off the .DS_Store

I wish every time someone talked shit about operating systems they woke up having switched OS with their grandmother.

Hides my macOS KVM I setup for fun

i mean os x is basically just darwin and bsd with a gui

What are windows mainers doing in a linux community? Shoo, we don't want Edge or Bing or popup ads in our games.

Ehh, I'm not sure. In my experience, apple users are too tech illiterate to have any opinions on windows, not even incorrect ones.

OpenVMS is the way.

I use all 3 for different things and I'll stop using windows the second gaming hardware and games work somewhere else the same way.

That's an amazing meme, would anyone happen to have a template of it?

I have often chosen MacOS over Windows, though Windows has come a long way since 95. It isn't as infuriating to use anymore.

I've been a Mac user off and on since the late 80s and used Windows and Linux off and on since the 90s.

For the last 10+ years: Mac laptop, Linux desktop, and a Windows laptop for the occasional times it is convenient.

swap macos for *BSD and I'd agree

Linux user should really be shown with a hoodie sleeve...

Nice recycling of Reddit memes

You just need to enable the disable option on windows, and I just learnt how to burn a dvd on windows 10.

great work ChatGPT Nederlands Chatgpt gratis Chatgpt en francais チャットgpt

Surprised about the comments. Mac OS is actually certified Unix whereas Linux distros, while wonderful, aren’t. I’ve never had to use windows for anything other than games in the 90’s so I can’t speak to it now. I’ve used Irix, then Linux, and now Mac professionally. I find Mac to be meh after Mojave. Perhaps BSD was the answer all along.

Mac user here. I'd wash my hands too.

From an ethical point of view Windows is still better than MacOS, since it's not a closed system (and doesn't view your private data and uploads it to the cloud)
