    I actually like Linux, but I’m considering just blocking all the Linux communities because it’s so incredibly boring to just see you guys circle jerking all day long. We get it. We all get it.

        I came here hoping to see gnome and X11 memes. You know, actual Linux memes.

        Instead I found “Windows bad” circlejerking.

        No, I’m on All, but a far higher percentage than most other content is just the same message in slightly different words on repeat, “Linux good, Binbows bad.”

          So like, you browse All, find communities minding their own business making little in-jokes, and pop in to say “hey assholes, I don’t appreciate you talking about all this stuff you like talking about! How about you shut up so I don’t have to skip past your posts when I’m deliberately skimming everything!”

          Seems fair.

          And whats the point? Should all Linux memes communities close so that you don’t see them in All? Should people stop making Linux memes at all? What are you achieving with your rant? You don’t like it. We get it. You and that 75% can block the community and move on.

              Ah yes, this is literally the first time I visit Lemmy today after uni and the first post I see on All and that I interact with in more than a week but I am the one that has to go outside, not the person that apparently spends all day on Lemmy, so much so that is tired of seeing Linux memes on its feed. Have a nice day as well, and I truly mean it.

      Why we don’t have any server side memes yet, probably there is some non-windows meme material there.

      “So regarding these security vulnerabilities… We see that RHEL 5 is no longer supported, so what is your plan to get support…” So basically you’re telling me you walked into a giant ravine without ever realising it for almost a decade and now you ask me if you could get some support to assemble your now tiny fragments back into working order?

    It’s 2023 and Apple is a trillion dollar company, and they still don’t have window snapping/tiling in OSX. I don’t have anything positive to say about their OS lol.

      I was missing the KDE style drag/resize windows with modifier keys, then I found https://penc.app that kinda fills that void

      it also does snapping and auto 50% with trackpad gesture

            They encourage creation. Trademarks are different. In order to do so properly, they should be far more limited.

            Right now the forever copyright means no one can remix sixty year old stories

            Right now patents are issued for trivial IT “inventions” which stifle competing products.

            Trademarks are fine. They are intended to protect you from misleading products. They let Apple sue people that sell stuff which might mislead you into thinking it’s an apple product.

            Of course trademarks are also abused, for example Apple uses trademarks to prevent recycling iPhone parts. That couple be fixed.

      I feel like the full screen tiling on mac makes up for this. Having used both windows and Mac a lot I think I slightly prefer Mac’s way of splitting full screen windows but I see the appeal of both

        I had to use MacOS for 2 years after using Windows for 20. The copious amounts of energy suddenly releasing when thousands of dying stars start to explode in unison can’t compare to the deep, burning hate I feel for MacOS.

        But I know there are people who like or love it. No problem with that. It’s just a personal feeling.

    Calm down MacOS hasn’t done shit to make it better. They decide what you do and don’t get, daddy apple already made the decision and you have to deal with it.

    “We did the thinking for you, and you’ll like it.” Might as well be their slogan.

      When I got a macbook from work I was honestly choked at how awful things were.

      Even the simplest of tasks required googling. It was so very unintuitive.

      I mean, I had to do some weird dragging to install an application!?

      Even to this day, I totally avoid using it.

          Double click and then do a drag and drop, totally intuitive.

            That’s… exactly what you do. macOS software is usually distributed in DMG files (compressed disk images). You download the DMG, open it (with a double click in Finder), then drag and drop the APP file to your Applications folder (or wherever else you want it to be).

            Speaking of APP files, the structure of macOS apps is vastly superior to that of Windows, imo. Linux generally has them both beat, but there’s some additional complexity there.

        Windows is far more customizable by comparison. Still nothing next to Linux but trying to put them on the same field at least in an enterprise environment is ludicrous.

        Yeah, MacOS has way more bugs than Windows 10. It’s kind of hard to believe that it has been this bad for the past several years. They keep pushing features, but they need a 1-2 year pause on features to fix the existing features they have.

      GUI? Yes.

      UNIX command line? Six of one half dozen of the other versus Linux in my experience.

      But yeah. I love i3wm and it’s a real bummer that you can’t do something like that with macos. I use yabai, which is nice, but i3 it ain’t.

    I don’t agree with the Mac one.

    The Mac UI is basically windows 3.1.

    It’s absolutely awful.

    Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that’s it. You can’t open anything, you can’t delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

    It’s so fucking bad.

    For whatever reasony work tools on Linux aren’t working right now, so I am using win10 for the moment.

    The start menu is a fucking nightmare. I don’t care about what’s on the internet when I am looking for my software. This isn’t a mobile phone.

    What’s even worse is that I know what the name of my software is. But half the time, when I use the start menu, the web results and ads load first and it takes a while to show my software, if it ever shows up at all.

          I was joking, but you are of course right.

          It’s one of the reasons why people like me are put off using linux, especially when you have to ask those same smug linux users for advice when your first install hits a snag or you have an issue installing drivers.

          It’s very human behaviour, it’s nice to feel special because you’re part of an in-group which you deem superior, but yeah.
