Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I was just forced to Switch to Mac and let me tell you that I'm actually enjoying it.

    Things I like so far:

    • An actual modern email client that isn't web based. Web mail clients feel so cumbersome.

    • Same thing for a calendar application.

    • Nice reminders app out of the box. Can schedule alarms on reminders and categorize them.

    • Nice notes app that I don't need to constantly save. It never closes, which feels great compared to Gedit.

    • Security. Apps notify me when they want to access system resources and I have to authorize them.

    • Unix. Unix matters a lot.

    • Homebrew has incredible support. I can install almost anything with it.

    • Iterm2 feels almost like Terminator.

    Things I hate:

    • The fact that they have another keyboard layout. Although, after 3 days I'm getting used.

    • Updates take forever, it's insane.

    • Can't easily switch back and forth (not cycle) between windows of same apps. Haven't figured this one out.

    • Docker runs in a VM, it sucks.

    • Can't get used to multiple desktops. I hate them.

    Honestly, it isn't as bad as Windows. As long as I have a terminal and a nice shell, I'm good.

    I use macOS as my daily driver, though still use Linux sometimes. When I dual-booted macOS with Linux, I immediately fell in love. I don't have a Mac, but my next computer will be a MacBook. Of course there are things I don't like, but I will not write it down right now, maybe edit this comment later. I love the virtual desktops tough, I always press the green button on Safari to maximize, and put it on a new desktop, so I can easily switch with a 4-finger swipe, and I don't have to overlay another window or Safari when I am switching apps.
