MAC vs PC Anonymous 23-11-24 21:13:40 No.27182

Assuming you can't use linux for one second. Which is better. MAC/Apple OS or PC, for a desktop computer?

PC is better the Linux even. Mac is just garbage. They stopped pretending to make PCs a long time ago. They're a laptop/phone/tablet company now. Anyone who gets a prebuilt PC is dumb anyways.

Obviously Windows, it has by far the better compatibility

Mac OS as POSIX (and with modern stable package management in the form of homebrew) is much more familiar to me than Windows, and for that reason would almost always prefer it. The main downside compared to Windows machines is the cost of the hardware.

Wouldn't using a Hackintosh make that a moot point though?

If I can't use Linux, I don't wanna live.

I have been reading the tanenbaum minix book so I would just write my own. it wouldn't be posix compatible though, but in a way, it would be more posix than posix itself, with something similar to zeromq for ipc and only /proc/ and /dev/ to interact with things (no ioctl/sysctl)

We're reaching levels of not touching grass that shouldn't be humanly possible.

Mac, it's unix-like and can run wine. Wine runs windows applications better than windows, which means smoother gaming experience.

Windows for desktop
Apple for laptop/tablet
Android for mobile
BSD for server

this sounds like a larp post
have you ever actually used bsd?

Barely even matters knowing how bloody locked-down it is. Why not just use a BSD by this point?
>>27200
GNU/Linux for everything. Except maybe servers. FOSS Android is okay ig. And the only issue I have with the BSD desktop is hardware and software support.

Too many noobs.

That's sort of cheating the question isn't it? But anyway would probably prefer the GNU userland all things being equal.

>Barely even matters knowing how bloody locked-down it is.
Is it though?

FreeBSD/OpenBSD are fantastic as a server OS. It's no larp

NTA. My opinion is that if you have the time to learn a new OS and there are significant advantages to using BSDs over GNU/Linux distros then I have no reason to stop you from doing that. Either way, if you use GNU/Linux, BSDs, de-Googled Android or even 9front I consider you my ally.

openbsd has shit virtualization, no cgroups (so no granular resource allocation), no containerization, nor anything you would actually expect from a modern server, not even load balancing. to say that it is good for servers in 2024 is a meme from people that saw someone repeat a talking point from the 90s and uncritically accepted it, because unknown thing must be good, am I right fellow imageboard users?

Remember being pretty excited when vmm/vmd was released, and for a few OpenBSD releases there seemed to be pretty good progress made with it. Used OpenBSD for quite a while on my laptop, think what made it nice was the sane defaults and ease of configuration. You don't have to think about what virtualization or firewall solution you're going to use because you just use the one in the base system, and configure it slightly and intelligently for your use case. Lots of people even use CWM, xterm, and mg, or vi.
