lol they are famous for accusing customers of voiding their warranties. If you refuse to pay to have the device repaired, they will still charge you have it reassembled and sent back you in its original defective condition. It's actual extortion. MSI makes shitty products but they are still honest about fixing them.

lol@ doing "file management" on anything OTHER than a NAS running ZFS pools with ECC RAM:

https://i.imgur.com/89UIxS8.png

Just map network drives onto your Mac or whatever and VPN into your NAS whenever you're not home. All your documents, pictures, etc from all your devices go to the NAS, and you can lose up to two hard drives at once without losing any data. Plug it into a UPS if you're worried about that, the Amazon Basics ones are fine.

Browsing in Firefox on Linux is shit now due to Youtube and others using high compression codecs that Linux (and Apple) don't support natively. This has gotten really bad in the last 1-2 years and it's one reason I switched to running Windown in a VM

I use both, but prefer Mac for most productivity things. Use Windows for some specialty software. They are 80% equivalent. Mac is less buggy, esp. regarding updates and peripherals, and provides a more seamless user experience. IME Apple hardware is 180. I have Apple computers from 30 years ago that still work, though they are useless.

It would be superior if the software ecosystem were >1% the size of Windows. Can you even run Quickbooks on a Mac? Has MS Office been updated since the 1990s? The Windows freeware ecosystem is bigger than Linux now, and Windows Subsystem for Linux exists too.

Mac wins easily over any laptop. Touchpad interactions with mac laptops are so superior I’d use it for that alone. And windows requires jumping through all kinds of hoops to get a clean install free of gayware. Gaming desktop is the only reason for windows

If you use Rufus to create the USB installer you can install Windows with 3 mouse clicks and no microsoft account. If you have a new PC with hybrid e-core/p-core chip, Windows 11 will run faster, especially on AMD silicon due to the broken scheduler.

Mac is a massive pain in the ass unless you solely live in the Apple ecosystem and are good with them telling you how you're going to use your technology. These peripherals aren't Mac compatible, oh, you don't have enough ports for this stuff but you really shouldn't have that many external peripherals anyway, oh you want to play video games no don't do that.

However, if I could get a macbook pro for work I would. Mac/ios equipment ages better than windows/android equipment. I just upgraded an iPhone pro max 11 to an iPhone pro max 14 and the 11 was still very fast and worked really well. Old windows/android stuff is always palpably slow.

one thing I hate about Mac is that windows for programs always pop up in random sizes, and its a pain in the ass to resize them compared to windows.

For a bunch of programs I also have trouble with them being really small text and shit on Mac

Maximizing and minimizing windows in Windows is also a lot easier IMO

This is ~75% of the reason I prefer Windows.

Window management is total shit on Macs.

Yep, and the scaling engine is broke. Apple is falling behind on graphics, the one thing they used to be good for. The M4 Macs still have less advanced media engines that Intel iGPUs from 2022.

In the last 1-2 years, Windows has unironically taken the lead by nearly every measure. Windows itself has not become measurably better, but Apple stagnated for too long, and running Linux now is like becoming a member of a gay orgy club.

Drivers are fuct and Ubuntu is replacing its all its core commands with something called Rust that no programmer can debug, and that isn't even completed yet. I mean Rust supports fewer functions than the code it's going to replace. That's a done deal.

So it's Debian or bust now. Fedora breaks all the time and OpenSuse in German so Americans won't use it and it will never get traction, even though it's still the IRL best distro. If Linux users were serious people Slackware would be the standard, not Debian/Ubuntu. Arch never should have been born, people should have just used Slackware the whole time

Slackware isn't going anywhere, it's still the backbone of many hypervisors. But no one is running Slackware on bare metal AFAIK

rust is a programming language, not an application. and it has a perfectly good set of debugging tools available

All the system commands like sudo apt update are going to be taken over by it. That's all I know. I don't even use Ubuntu except to test shit on an old NUC, it's so shitty. Rust isn't going to fix shit either. Ubuntu won't suddenly become marvelous because it runs on Rust. All these Mint people are saying "I hope they get to work on LMDE" because no one wants Rust.

If you are doing "work" on your actual personal computer instead of just using it to log into a server where you do your actual work, you do not have a real job.

PS the choice between Windows and Linux is a false dichotomy because you can run both simultaneously in VMs on the same machine. I use Proxmox for this, but Unraid makes it so fucking easy too. Out of the box these are the options it gives me.

All I have to do is assign resources. You're better off doing this on Intel than AMD for a fuckload (and growing) number of reasons unless you want to deal with Threadrippershit

Before when they were both x86 the fastest macs were pcs. I had an overclocked intel desktop that was benchmarking osx faster than the most expensive macs by multiples. No idea what works like that now

It's actually the opposite. Windows on Proxmox slays bare metal on every benchmark I've run, and I never give it more than 4 cores. Even disk i/o is faster.

You have to spend a few seconds customizing it

If it's not working then disable and re-enable to index it properly

OpenSuse Tumbleweed has the best user interface hands down. The YaST/KDE is a knockout combo, and filesystem snapshots save you from Linux hell.

PS you can dig old laptops out of the dumpster and build a cluster now, then run 10 different operating systems and whatever the fuck else you want on the cluster:

The laptops have batteries so you don't need a UPS, and they have their own screens and keyboards if you need to do something in a local terminal.
