If you were forced to choose between mac os and windows what would you choose?

Windows 7

MacOS.
Always been in UNIX; so I know it well.

Windows LTSB, i got zorin os running a GPU pass through to LTSB as it is for steam only

i'm a video editor so i am forced to choose, and i pick windows

I'd make my own operating system

OS X. It has better multi-monitor support and basically feels like a dumbed down Linux distro.

No Terry, you already tried that and it was a terrible meme.

At least this guy is honest.

>dumbed down
Linux is easier to configure than macos.
Mainly because it has a package manager.

osx if it would have hardware support, else winblows.

Windows
7 is alright and can be de-botnetted simply enough.

Windows.
As much touch shit as MS has forced into Windows, at least they haven't gone full retard like Applel.

Pick one.

Windows. Vidya, endless hardware configs, wide software support, etc.

Mac OS has 3 (maybe even 4)!

Mac
Because Unix is better

name them. the ones installed by default.

>macshit
>unix
Nice meme.

If you think you can then you don't know unix as well as you think.

Why windows if mac OS performance is way better?

mac app store :^)

While your installing your OS we're installing a package management tool. This is one of the many wonders of having your computer ship with an operating system installed.

>installing a package management tool
Thanks for proving my point that macos is harder to configure since you have to bootstrap a package manager.

macOS because I can get shit done on it. I only use Windows on my Surface Pro for drawing. Sad to see that go, but most work is more comfy on macOS to me.

>using a frankenstein hackjob """unix"""
>instead of NT+Aero
Yikes.

Windows because as shitty as it's gotten, at least it's not the abortion that is macOS.

>winbabby needs a click n' drool interface and is scared of the command line.
Stick to your games.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

That sure was hard!

>i can cut n' paste form a wiki
So arch is the easiest OS to install??

>mactoddler needs swipey wipey youeye because he's scared of two button devices
Stick to your fruity toddler toys.

That's like asking would you rather lose the use of your right arm and left leg or left arm and right leg. I wouldn't want either. I guess MacOS is a little like Linux except locked down in every way possible, so maybe that. Then again Windows is the one with all the games so maybe that instead. At least I could entertain myself after my forceful choice. Am I allowed to use WSL as well?

You can only do that if you're doing a VM install you clueless retard.

Irrelevant, I can sysadmin on any OS, whether it be Putty + Pageant or Terminal + GNU Coreutils.

I was talking about Unix, /v/tard.

The fuck are talking about?
I've bootstrapped arch from a fedora live cd.

>bootstrapped arch from a fedora live cd
I thought you said it was the easiest OS to install :^)

I didn't, you're going off the rails, kid.

But this thread is about macos or windows, not unix.

>So arch is the easiest OS to install
>I didn't

macos is unix.

Yes, if given your terms that cut n' paste is any easy install method. Arch is all cut n' paste install.
But I never said that arch is the easiest OS to install. Learn to read.

>fagOS
>unix
Pick one.

Damn, you don't know unix and you don't know which syscalls to avoid for portability. :)

>the state
So you mean knowing the OS well enough to call syscalls directly? I guess you're right....
Stick to your games /v/tard.

This is not an argument.

Yup, I'm guessing you weren't around when Solaris had a nonstandard poll() were ya, kiddo.

No, the state of changing goalposts from "macOS is UNIX" to "ok it's not UNIX because poll is broken, but you should use kpoll anyway".

poll is always broken :)
You missed that point; so the curl dev team did what was expected and should have been done to begin with and void it.

see

>poll is always broken :)
Mine works fine on Linux, kiddo.
>You missed that point; so the curl dev team did what was expected and should have been done to begin with and void it.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Did what? Void what?

Not even just broken, literally MISSING for over a decade while it was (((((((((((((certified))))))))))).

Stick to vidya. If you think a broken syscall prohibits a unix from being unix then you're retarded.

avoid*

Mac. Terminal.app is way superior, as is the touchpad and scrolling in general.

Windows any time.

If I really had to choose one of those, definitely windows, but I wouldn't be enthusiastic about it at all

What are you talking about? I'm not talking about if you should or shouldn't use poll, I'm saying that UNIX specifies that a syscall named poll must exist and perform a certain action, and it's clear it didn't, therefore macOS isn't/wasn't UNIX.
Of course this upsets you, so you're on your 3rd goalpost shift.

You never read a UNIX certification, did you? It literally specifies which syscalls you must implement and their strict behaviour. Of course macfags are proud of muh UNIX certificate, but have absolutely zero idea of what it even means.

Death is a preferable alternative to nonfree software

>therefore macOS isn't/wasn't UNIX.
Then neither was Solaris...
See how retarded you sound saying a syscall is UNIX?

>Saying a syscall is UNIX
I never said this or anything similar. 4th goalpost change.

Not them but they're using Windows on a Mac you fucking retard. Its a combination you see almost never here.

>I'm saying that UNIX specifies that a syscall named poll must exist and perform a certain action, and it's clear it didn't, therefore macOS isn't/wasn't UNIX.

>caring about POOSIX
POOSIX was relevant in the 80's maybe when UNIX was mainstream and 100% of the server market, but today it's sub 2% in the server space, and only on fruity toys in the desktop and mobile space.

The entire POINT of POOSIX was cross compatibility, but now it's compatible with fucking nothing except itself.

Yes, that is a completely different statement from yours. If you have any counter-points for it, provide proof. If all you have are more misquotes and goalpost shifts, take care mate.

thistbhfam
The only standards that matter today are Linux Standard Base and whatever the fuck standard(s) MS uses for Windows.

>Yes, that is a completely different statement from yours.
No you distilled whether something was Unix or not by having a single syscall. Are you so retarded that I have to tell you what you said?

>No you distilled whether something was Unix or not by having a single syscall.
No, the Open Group did that, it's called the requirements for being UNIX.

>No you distilled whether something was Unix or not by having a single syscall.
No, I didn't. But keep "accidentally" misreading it, shill. Your toy is not UNIX, even if you bribe OpenGroup.

Windows. macOS I have used for a good while and it does have a few neat little features, but I'd rather have something compatible than something fancy.

I'm done with Windows, so macOS wins by default.

Nope, if you think the SUS made code portability easy then you've never written for more than one Unix. It's why make config exists for conditional code compilation.

>Using an operating system

Clearly every operating system and most hardware is linked to a botnet

It's UNIX if it implements ALL those syscalls with their respective expected behaviors. MacOS did not implement poll with the expected behavior, therefore it's not UNIX.
>B-but it's just one
Tough titties, read the spec next time.

Yes you did. You said poll is broken thus Macos isn't unix. Congrats on showing your retardation.

And that is not the same as whatever the fuck
>UNIX is one syscall
Means in the King's.
