Tech startups prefer using Mac over PC

>there is no Autocad and Solidworks for GNU/Linux

Well we're talking about software development, not your hick shit

>meet all the requirements except one

Windows 10

It's the new corporate laptop. It's the same reason Dells were everywhere last decade.
It's functional POSIX, it can be expensed, can be bought in large numbers, and it works well enough for corporate.

>feminist frequency
topkek

macOS is POSIX, which is a must for tech professionals
has enterprise software support
the best display
quality hardware that looks and feels great

Windows just can't compete.

>macOS is POSIX
Are you sure about that?

>Mac
>Unix-like terminal
>Windows
>dumpsterfire

GEE I WONDER WHY

>decent *nix terminal, unlike Windows
>non-development software support, unlike Linux
>decent hardware

Gee I wonder why

Windows is complete dogshit. There's a reason *nix-based systems have been around forever.

So although Mac is surprisingly good for development, it's still generally agreed-upon that Apple is a blight upon mankind, yes?

>it's still generally agreed-upon that Apple is a blight upon mankind, yes?
Mankind? No. Technology as a whole? No. Progress? Yes. As innovative as they are, they're only advancing consumer products while enabling retarding retards to keep tarding. wuts a computer? Fucking faggots.

>Mac over PC
>PC
>Personal Computer
Differentiating is important because macs are not personal computers as they are not your personal property.

Fucking checkmate

>using a wintoddler OS for literally anything an adult would do, instead of using a superior UNIX OS
is that way, OP.

I'd rather use a 10 year old Mac over a modern Windows machine. In fact, I actually fucking am.

Trust me. There are plenty of retards on windows too.

We had Apple IIs in school back in the 90s, fucko

Maybe because you're comparing an actual shitty computer with a shitty OS.

Found the frequency.

Some britbong company called Rare Ware

Should have recommended an ex-leased Dell Latitude or a Thinkpad

Just use cygwin or wsl if all you care about is muh terminal

What are the actual benefits to using Macs?

most startups are there to launder money so they go with macs

Good things about mac:
basically BSD, which is basically linux.
Usable terminal
Has a functional package manager
Trackpad means I can actually use my laptop without a mouse

Bad Things:
The rest of the OS

I feel like we rally too hard against macs here, to the point where some posters here seriously believe windows is anything better (not to mention the absurd idea that you actually use to develop). This is false. Macs are great if you aren't paying for them.

love that shit

>>decent *nix terminal, unlike Windows
what is powershell

Reminder to report the 20 daily apple shill threads.

Only the Mac runs all 3 OSes
iOS programming easier on Mac also

That's because it's either windows or Mac. I would rather have a Unix system.

Since OS X, so about early 00s

>functional package manager

tfw wrote sudo apt install qbittorrent in girlfriends mac and it sputtered errors.

Nope nope nope nope

Full command was :
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null ; brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask 2> /dev/null
brew cask install qbittorrent

That was first and only time I got to use mac terminal

Good, they’re weeding out the idiots who only know MS-DOS commands.

>go fuck yourself OP
you could expect that from a macfag :^)

If you had any relevant job experience, you would know that Windows and Linux are not perfectly suitable for professional environment, where you need things to actually work, and not ricing your minimal desktop with anime wallpapers.
Windows is shit regarding programming, and Linux is shit regarding hardware support, while you can install every dev tools on a Mac and use professional softwares that will never be supported on Linux.

apt is the package manager on debian/ubuntu based distros you mong

underrated

>using wrong packet manager
>somehow its the OS's fault

All the tech companies, startups or not, that I've worked for/with in London prefer Macs.

you mean the insufferable hipster cunt startups trying to be the new twatter or whatever?

It's a Unix like environment with hands off support. Trying to get Dell or Lenovo to acknowledge faulty hardware is like pulling teeth, and the upfront cost savings don't justify the lost time when something inevitably breaks. Also, finding people competent enough to work effectively in a Linux environment, yet normal enough to work with a team is difficult, not to mention expensive. Also, just because someone is a competent programmer does not mean they know shit about hardware anymore.
