    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.

        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.

    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.

    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 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.”

          But have you heard the latest hilarious thing? Windows… BAD! Hahaha! My goodness, I’m sure you never could have imagined. Also, I use Arch, in case you were wondering.

          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.

    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.

    Needless to say, just makes myself happy to use Linux in 2023. Never buying another Windows device.

      That might be acceptable if they didn’t turn at least half of the bullshit back on with every bigger update. And some things just can’t be turned off. E.g last time I checked it was impossible to tell Windows not to “recommend” setting edge as default browser in the fucking start menu.

    Meanwhile yesterday I fucked up my linux installation trying to find alternatives on how to be use the wheel click without having things pasted with it :/

    I’ll be trying again when I am not lazy to reinstall it again.

      Click “Activities” in the upper right and search for “tweaks”, click the “Tweaks” icon. Select “Keyboard & Mouse” and turn “Middle Click Paste” to “off”.

      For Gnome ^ but I’m at work and can’t confirm.

    And yet most people choose Windows.

    You guys will never ever understand and you’ll be on your death bed screaming Linux DE is just fine and totally just as easy to use.

    Man, this is the kind of “Linux” meme I wanted to get away from when moving away from Reddit.

    Can we please instead make memes that don’t just boil down to “Windows bad”?

        Actually, you’re right. Scratch Reddit. Every single Linux meme community I’ve seen on the internet so far eventually boils down to repetitive “Windows bad” memes.

          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.
