Recently bought a mac and holy shit everything is smooth and beautiful

Wow, that might look halfway decent if it wasn't quite literally the worst Windows ever released.

Which used iMac should I buy for shit and giggles ? t. never used a mac before

I think it's only worth buying the cheapest macbook pro. It's pretty well build and has a great touchpad, macOS is pretty nice if you don't care about games. But fuck their other products, just overpriced garbage.

>he never used windows 98

it's smooth and beautiful as long as you stay within the confines of your walled garden. Dare to take one tiny step outside of it and you will see it for the ugly prison it is.

Try to move window, it lags behind cursor like on any linux distro with compositing enabled.

Spotted the pajeet who shits in the street and goes home to a dirt floor cabin. How much are they paying you to shill here? One or two rupees? You can have all the nickels and dimes in my left pocket and a pound of uncooked rice if you fuck off.

Wtf does that even mean?

Given that fact that MacOS is only supported on a handful of hardware combos, I don't think that it should be too surprising that it "looks nice". It's less work to maintain from a development point of view. The elephant in the room is: why is it still such a shitty operating system to use? And why doesn't it have better software support?

>bhop script

Pajeets shill android shit, you mediocre peasant.

Does it change the fact macOS is superior to loonix? No, it doesn't.

I use MacOS, Linux, and Windows. MacOS is by far, my least favorite operating system to use. It really has nothing going for it beyond it's ability to use some familiar UNIX commands in it's shitty terminal.

How about you give us some examples, no >muh custom themes, there's no reason to change it

Stop shilling, iJeet.

Linux is more POSIX compliant and has more software, and it costs nothing and runs on everything. MacOS is an inferior pile of trash.

This. MacOS window management is abysmal and the UI is backwards. Macs are dumb terminals for Facebook.

It has much better process management though so it evens out

>This. MacOS window management is abysmal and the UI is backwards. Macs are dumb terminals for Facebook.
>macOS is hard

What do you mean portable?

Why is it shitty to use?

>paid developers
>non-free products
that shit better be good, senpai

I use free software on macos

It suffers badly from special snowflake syndrome.Shortcuts are absolutely autismal and annoying and not well documented. It also has this annoying split personality thing going on where, yeah it's easy to use as a Facebook machine, but it's a pain in the ass to accomplish anything even remotely technical.

>macOS is hard

I'm talking about MacOS and the applications that come with it. It's not surprising if they're "so good" to itoddlers, the developers are getting paid to make them good after all.

Certain aspects are.Namely anything outside of grandma shit.

But you are grandma tier, you can't even learn few hotkeys

POO IN LOO

I will never ever understand ppl that defend that utter trash crap that is that ugly ass bottom screen launcher in macos
even windows is better

>It has much better process management though so it evens out
This is one big line of nonsensical filler that doesn't fucking mean anything.

They're difficult to use if you aren't a retard who lives in the web browser.

>This is one big line of nonsensical filler that doesn't fucking mean anything.
no, you just don't know what you're talking about

>And why doesn't it have better software support?

I can answer that one: relatively small market share means macOS gets treated as a second-class platform with the exception of a few boutique Apple-centric developers. Hence why most third-party Mac apps tend to be shitty clunky Windows ports with almost no thought put into making them look and function like a proper native app. Microsoft and Adobe are as guilty of this as anyone else.

also Apple moves much more quickly than Microsoft to deprecate and ultimately drop legacy APIs so developers actually have to do the work of keeping up with new technologies, as opposed to keeping their ancient Win32 program from 1999 in permanent maintenance mode.

Nothing. Just words. Just empty resentful words

It was a lot better back in 10.6

Really not true. Apple pretty much forces developers to develop using their latest APIs; while your half-baked port using a bunch of shitty middleware emulation might work today it'll break with every version of OSX so nobody really bothers to develop that way. Plus why would anyone buy a shitty port app when there are good fully native alternatives? OSX users are used to everything being seamless and consistent and don't put up with jankiness, plus they expect to have the system services at hand that work with native apps but may break with half-baked ports.

>nobody really bothers to develop that way

Electron says hi. Also there are no decent alternatives to Office or Creative Cloud when their respective developers also own the de facto standard intermediary file formats for things like documents, spreadsheets, and bitmap graphics.

First, Linux is a kernel.
Second, I do a minimal install of Ubuntu and through the use of themes, icon packs, of fonts I can make it look exactly like macOS X.14 Mojave in twenty minutes. For free.
Third, the I have no problem with macOS itself (despite it being a security mess and only installable on shitty Applel hardware), I have a problem with how overpriced the shitty hardware that comes in the Macs themselves is.

Office on OSX is really nice and polished. It doesn't use Apple's APIs for everything it could, but that's probably not possible with apps so large/complex. Ditto Adobe's apps (although for image editing I prefer Pixelmator since it is fully native)

>I do a minimal install of Ubuntu and through the use of themes, icon packs, of fonts I can make it look exactly like macOS X.14 Mojave in twenty minutes. For free.

Know how I know you don't know shit about macOS? You still think it's just a themed Linux distro. Jesus I thought you losers stopped doing that shit a decade ago.

able to run on smaller, lower spec devices

Office apps still don't use the standard autosave and restore APIs that have been around since Lion, so they still throw up a save prompt for every file I have open when I try to reboot or quit the app, and when I relaunch it I have to manually open all the files again. Just one of my pet peeves.

G3 if you like colors and aesthetic, G4 or G5 if you want an okay powerpc vintage experience.

It's not a themed Linux distro. It's a themed BSD distro.

I turned that shit off as soon as it came out with Lion or whenever, annoying as fuck.

Just look at that wasted screen real estate. Yuck!

> Second, I do a minimal install of Ubuntu and through the use of themes, icon packs, of fonts I can make it look exactly like macOS X.14 Mojave in twenty minutes. For free.

There is nothing worse than a macfag than a poor macfag.
This is sad.

I don't use Ubuntu nor do I like the aesthetic, I was just giving an example.

Explain "process management", poojeet. Let's hear it. You don't know what you're talking about, you cock huffing faggot. Stick your buzzwords up your ass.

I find the endless "DO YOU WANT YOU SAVE YOUR CHANGES" prompts far more annoying, but that's just me. Also having built-in version control is very nice.

Oh it's the xfs rajeesh, doumo.

CMDQ + CMDW lol

Ahahahaha, it's the samefag Appleshit shill. Good to see you again, Pajeet. Do you fuckers ever rotate shifts?

Just use iWork. Keynote is superior to PowerPoint. Pages is decent and covers 80% of all text processing usecases. Numbers is equally as good (doesn't mean it behaves like it) as Excel. With the added bonus of having the versions API from Lion. And it is free to use.

I would love to use iWork if only I didn't have to collaborate with coworkers using Office file formats on SharePoint. Ideally I'd just export everything to PDF and call it a day.

Getting an old cheap Mac may be alright in the short term but 2008-era MacBooks don't run anything newer than El Capitan (which is itself no longer supported). Better to find a refurbished Retina model circa 2013.

XD funny post

not true, in the screencaps the guy had posted High Sierra.

why the fuck are old used Macbooks so expensive?? literally 3x the price of the comparable Thinkpad..

No cum inside

You should still aim for something that has at least intel hd 4000

You can literally install any software not on app store. Don't be an uninformed ignorant fanboy.

that's about $300 for a unibody or $500 for a retina, minimum... half of my rent. no way. $150 per month on computer shit is my absolute max

Well then the max you will be able to go will be high sierra

wait a month....

yeah the latest version of the OS isn't an issue I care about, the best MBP I can reliably buy a good example for under $150 is the 2006 A1150 or maybe the 2007 A1226: ancient specs really and it's sad because I can get a Sandy or IvyBridge Thinkpad for this price

what OS?

You actually spend money on that piece of shit?
The Macbooks I got for free, because I had to test some stuff for work on MacOS. Well that was a really shitty experience. The OS sucks. The hardware sucks. Linux sucks on them.

linux is crap to you because you tried ubuntu and don't know a single shit about changing desktops to meet your preferences.

Pick one

We use $2000 iMacs at work.
Fucking things can't emulate Windows 8 at the same time as opening iTunes without completely locking up.
$2000 of any other hardware would do that in its sleep.

some of us have important things in our life and deadlines to meet
we are not virgins in a basement experimenting with jewbeento version 455.3 trying to get drivers to work for 10 hours
also some of us like security

I'm here trying to have a discussion and all you retards keep posting this same shit as if it isn't the hundred fucking thousandth time that this shit is posted, yes everyone knows that MacOS is for indians and pajeets and faggots and you're oh-so-much-better than Mac users but fuck you honestly. fucking sage, you're fucking idiots goddamn it. you don't need to post shit, everyone knows, you're just revealing you're 13yo responding to this bait and rehashing the same bullshit over and over and over again and repeating what you see over and over and over again and. WE FUCKING "KNOW" MACOS IS WHAT IT IS; NOW POST SOMETHING USEFUL.

What did you expect? The faggot OP mentioned he loves MacOS and think Linux is crap. Autism reacts

Why don't you idiots just buy dedicated windows 8 machines
Your workplace sounds ghetto

The owner got rid of the Windows 8 machines because he likes shiny things.
The fact that half the shit we need to use doesn't work on macOS is a mere oversight.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. Your frustration is coming from a place of hurt. I think the best course of action is if you decided to calmly try out a superior operating system, so you can, well, "put your feet in another person's shoes," so to speak. That way, at least, you know WHY you're making a wrong decision, and accept that, well, you just might not know everything there is about computers and that these posters that post things you refer to as "bait" just might contain a little nugget of truth here or there.

windows 10

I have used Windows for a large part of my life and currently own at least 6 computers with GNU/Linux. I have never used MACOS in my life.

Get a macbook air 2015 refurbished and throw in a cheap nvme ssd and dualboot windows 10 and Mojave

iWork opens office documents without any issues and can export to them too.

Because Linux devs base things on the shitfest they know from using Windows. And when they do try to mimic something from MacOS they only do it on the most superficial level which lacks all the functionality and interface.
