Hey guys, I found my dads old 13-inch MacBook Pro from Mid 2009. I installed macOS Mojave on it and I was wondering if there was a way to make it run better and debloat it, or is that even possible? I am mostly familiar with Linux and Windows (Linux being my daily driver).

Mojave will run on 2GB RAM, there's really not much to debloat with macOS. If you want it to run a little better, try installing El Capitan; but I wouldn't go any lower than that. I just put El Capitan on a 2011 MacBook Air with 2GB RAM for that reason, but it's not that big of a boost, I might go to Mojave for the extra features.
Is there anyway to do shit like turning the shitty compositor off or fuckin with the UI more?
Not really, you can disable some graphical effects though, which will help with general speed. Sys Prefs > Accesibility > Display. Also, download and install Onyx and it will let you tweak a little more beyond that without having to look up 100 terminal commands.

Thanks fren, I appreciate this.
You got it user, I rather enjoy trying to get 10+ years out of Mac hardware.
Same, I hate how they stopped supporting the older machines and continued to make it slower and slower just because the hardware could handle it on newer machine. But then again mostly the tech illiterate use this shit so they don't care.
I like to make old PCs and phones work again. I never drop a device until the cost of repairing it surpasses the cost of buying a new one.
>macOS is for tech illiterates
This is what windows-using video game-playing queers actually believe, cringe
YouRube is spyware
youtube.com
normies don't know how to fix these issues, on top of that its Apple's user base as well.
Memes are for children, please link an objective source that isn’t YouRube jewgle spyware. Most computer users use windows, an operating system that lacks basic features that have existed for decades that caters to the lowest common denominator of retard.
>linking to luke smith as an example of a "tech literate"
I'm embarrassed for you
>mostly the tech illiterate use this shit so they don't care.
macbooks are used a ton by programmers
imagine using windows
"how do I ssh?"
>install this 50MB program by X
"how do I use FTP?"
>install this 70MB program by Y
"how do I generate an ssh key?"
>install this 100MB program by Z
"how do I compile this?"
>install this 200MB program and let it install the following 20 libraries
So is Windows and Linux, whats your point?
Be careful, don’t confuse the winbaby too much. If you start using too many acronyms they might start deflecting with “muh games” and “muh chrome”
I don't I just used it a lot before.
>I am mostly familiar with Linux and Windows (Linux being my daily driver)
>Linux being my daily driver
Windows is literally only used by children, gamers (same as children), office slaves, and tech illiterate boomers
>daily driver
please drive yourself off a cliff
not an argument
Linux is not an OS
Nor is a YouRube video an argument, google spyware using homo
>youjew spyware lol
>ignores every point in the video
ok retard
I didn’t watch the video, as I do not use any google product or service, much less YouRube. Please take your schizophrenia meds and learn to form coherent arguments on your own without using a YouRube video as your entire response.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
maybe he didnt watch it because he correctly pointed out that youtube is spyware
>doesn't just look it up on invidio.us
brainlet
> debloat
there's no such thing in macOS, all you can do is install an SSD and you're good to go.
Using any alternative to YouRube is still indirectly accessing or utilizing a google product or service. It’s sad how there are people on Jow Forums who do not take things like this seriously. Cringe zoomer.
>trading one botnet for another
hard pass ;)
>ssh
powershell
>ftp
built into explorer since time immemorial

>compiling
you don't need visual studio to compile programs, and don't even start with libs when it's the same bullshit everywhere.
>invidio.us botnet
literally how?
>powershell
The absolute state of tech illiterate retards
good first steps:
> add more ram
> put in an SSD
desperate measures:
> disable animations
> disable siri and spotlight
I already know all that but in terms of software I was wondering how to make it run better besides what the other user said ().
any terminal made by microshit is 100% crap in terms of usability and features, id sooner use a bare TTY
its a free service meaning you, the virgin in this situation, are the product ;)
It uses JewTube's embedded player.
imagine not using ublock origin and noscript...
Are you retarded?
>duh duh blocking malicious elements means it’s fine to use malicious software
It’s sad how zoomers have no backbone
the player itself doesnt track you unless there is other google shit on the site.
both of these add more uniqueness to your fingerprint which google can and will track
imagine using these extensions and not knowing what they actually mean for you
It doesn’t matter if it tracks you or not, you are still promoting YouRube by watching a video that was uploaded to their site.
>implying thousands upon thousands of people don't use ublock or noscript
Man that foot print must be very "unique"
Yeah because a player not showing the ads that make them money is supporting them. Ok schizo boomer. Get with the times old man.
Nice argument.
Literally what is missing from PowerShell that is necessary to be usable?
Just have sex and use youtube incel. YouTube doesn't care about your porn history retard.
browser fingerprint is a combination of extensions, screen geometry, HTTP headers, fonts, timezones, rendering, and browser options
any youtube DOM loaded by your browser directly accesses youtube on your behalf, invidio does not broker the connection ;)
Sounds like a lot I can just easily change in my settings so they don't track me. And how does DOMs support them?
On top of that if you care so much how come you use macOS? Apple tracks everything you do so why care?
it's not bloated in the first place, uninstall all the third party shit you have installed and you're good to go
Third party shit? Like what?
please explain how changing any of those from their default settings makes you less unique! loading an embedded youtube element makes a request directly to google HQ ;)
i use gnu+linux ;)
Because it's not real info they can track me with that's why. Isn't the whole point of all this is to be not tracked?
"how do I ssh?"
>ssh is built in. cmd.exe ssh
"how do I use FTP?"
>ftp is built in. cmd.exe ftp
"how do I generate an ssh key?"
>powershell -> Install-Module -Force OpenSSHUtils;ssh-keygen
"how do I compile this?"
>install this 200MB program and let it install the following 20 libraries, just like in Linux based OS.
Your excuse?
>Install-Module -Force OpenSSHUtils;ssh-keygen
he has to INSTALL ssh keygen, holy shit video game playing homos are cucked
any info can be used to track you virgin ;)
imagine thinking the windows ssh client is usable ;)
Yet you use a botnet of a site. Okay retard
Firefox, Minecraft, discord and so on
>he doesn’t post on 4channel over tor using a vpn
How does it feel being retarded, zoomer dropout cuck
Well, it’s openssh compiled for windows, you know.
Any problems?
I only browse the web on a private VPN in a VM with specific browser profiles tailored to whatever I am surfing. learn what mitigation is ;)
Imagine having to compile a program that is standard on literally all other operating systems since the 1980s
the problem isnt OpenSSH, the problem is the terminal emulator itself being unintuitive and difficult to use ;)
4channel just has different boards retard lol.
>every program is compiled to a binary to execute
>imagine having compiled ssh binary in windows
>and linux
Absolute state of freetards. Go babytalking elsewhere, while Inmake money out of my Windows PC.
Where in that post did I imply otherwise, work on your English reading comprehension or fuck off of my American website ESL faggot
Yeah and I bet you have 7 proxies to hide behind too.
any os will run smoothly on 2012 hardware, granted it's on ssd
>terminal emulator
Oh no no no
Learn more, freetard.
FYI Powershell is way better than bash, if you ask.
Reddit spacing, kill yourself. The only money you can make though windows is by using your “windows pc” to prostitute yourself online, jobless faggot
>uses tor
>made by the government
ok pedo lol
>FYI Powershell is way better than bash, if you ask.
t. Minimum wage retard
>made by the government
If you believe that being made by the government implies that it is insecure, then clearly you have zero computer science background and lack even a surface understanding of how exit nodes work
good lord powershell is so fucking bad
the average botnet slave when faced with TTPs necessary to be safe online will always resort to ironic humor ;)
cmd is a terminal emulator and the latter statement is heavily dependent on what OS you are using, Windows being inferior......so by transitive property powershell is also inferior ;)
Lemme fix that for you
>Ah yes if you believe fed created software is insecure then ur just dum lol! tor is so secure
Just fuck real women, not toddlers pedo
Freetards attacking the person after they have nothing to rebut against the OS.
Please learn English or get off the internet, tech illiterate retard
TOR network is used around the world in areas where censorship threatens human rights though a basement dweller such as yourself wouldn't know this ;)
CMD is a command interpreter, it uses it’s own logic to call syscalls.
*nix emulates terminal(tty) on their consoles.
Can’t freetards actually learn other than shilling and humiliating themselves and their os?
Okay schizo. Have fun with your pedo tor chatrooms.
I don’t use any chatrooms over tor, I simply manage several tor exit nodes and have tor mirrors for all of my websites. Please go back to your minimum wage job, this is a board for people who understand technology.
If you haven't already you should upgrade to an SSD. Also get more memory. 8GB is the minimum to run macOS comfortably. But seriously, an SSD will be the best upgrade. macOS is slow as shit when you run it off an HDD. And for the love of god, stop using Firecucks. That shitty browser eats memory like crazy and you only have 4GB. Use Safari.
why would I waste time learning an operating system I have never used or needed? ;)
not an argument
And how is it unusable? Post specific examples or STFU.
It is an argument, using nonstandard commands and having to install basic features that have been standard for decades is in violation of NIST standards
Umm, let’s guess. To criticize?
Why criticize the os that you haven’t used or don’t need?
Lemme guess, are you a neat freetard shiller that distrohopps every week doing nothing productive on the computer?
cant resize properly, certain key sequences dont get passed properly, command history isnt saved across sessions, etc. ;^)
I use Debian and am a senior SOC analyst and my only exposure to windows is typically reading about how insecure it is (not even as an OS, just the protocols in the windows ecosystem in general) ;)
>nonstandard commands and having to install basic features that have been standard for decades
Windows isn't UNIX you utter fucking moron. Holy shit just kill yourself, you're clearly miserable if this is what you do for fun.
>Windows isn't UNIX
thats why it sucks wincuck
>windows isn’t UNIX
then it’s unusable and a toy OS, stallman said it best:
> I didn't single out Microsoft. In fact, Microsoft had nothing to do with it in the beginning. Microsoft in 1983 made a toy operating system for toy computers, and I hardly paid any attention to it.
A preference isn't objective opinion. Go back to spamming the Stallman pasta.
>Security analyst
>not using, haven’t used or don’t need windows i.e. no exposure to windows
Oh no no no, good luck with your security job
>isn’t objective opinion
Nice esl third world poorfag, stop being from a shithole then feel free to communicate with a free person like me
stallman couldn't even make a toy os
Because it’s seemingly physically impossible for him to make something that isn’t useful, fail English retard
>windows is toy os
>hurd is ?
