So is there a linux circlejerk? Cause you’re just ridiculous with your tribalist shit…

[-] lambda@programming.dev 12 points 8 months ago

Yeah, macos is pretty based. I don't own a Mac product but I have and they were great.

[-] Schmeckinger@feddit.de 11 points 8 months ago

Yeah its called lemmy.

[-] thisfro@slrpnk.net 5 points 8 months ago

I use both Linux and MacOS. MacOS is pretty good, but it's also very weird in the Unix world.

“Very weird to the UNIX world”??? It’s the only one that’s actually UNIX.

The only complaints on this entire post are down to people that have no idea what they’re doing. It’s full-on Dunning-Krueger. There are plenty of training wheels, but they are trivial to disable/bypass if needed. People need to get a lot more comfortable with justifying their preferences with “I don’t like it” rather than inventing problems and proving their own ignorance.

Uh, no. I mean, yes it's actually Unix, but so is BSD. In fact, OSX is only Unix BECAUSE BSD is - Darwin is BSD derived

Apple paid to license the trademark. The various BSD projects didn't.

BSD is, FreeBSD and OpenBSD (and every other open-source descendant) are not unix-certified, so they are not. BSD was discontinued in 1995 so I assumed that was not what the meme is referencing.

I honestly don't see why, when I'm looking for help on some problem on a mac, I'll happily open a Linux forum, and throw whatever commands I need into the terminal. Works like a charm every time. Just replace apt with brew or some other reasonable package manager (idk if macports or whatever is actually any decent, never tried it)

[-] mac@infosec.pub 1 points 6 months ago

I tried MacPorts once because I don't like the name of Homebrew but it's weirdly slow in comparison
