linus' mac OS review.

[Tocsin_786]

watch the video down below..

 

i couldnt agree more, my brother owns a macbook because he wants to be a "hip" college student, and my uncle owns a imac because everyone in the photo design business is brainwashed and just think apple is awesome, and i was brainwashed by my school from 1-5 grade since apple provided the computers for my school.

 

       so i am very familiar w/ mac os. and i must say that it is very very bad, using a third party mouse can feel like a hassle as the os is based off of "touch screen" like controls, closing programs is stupid by going to file>exit instead of that red button actually closing the app instead of minimizing, it basically has 2 minimize buttons. finder is abysmal (PERIOD)

 i can never ever find a file my uncle would need urgently from his mac when he is at his work. its stupidly hard to "rename" a folder and all the usual copy and paste stuff. there isnt a wide range of software compared to windows. the keyboard shortcuts are not as intuitive, and mac users and brainless people all say mac is better while its really really not. my uncle regrets buying a $1500 mac w/ a core i3 and 4 gigs of ram and stuff. i told him i can make him a very small $400 pc (since he wants a basic all in one) that will be similar if not faster, 

 

oh and installing fonts is as easy as it is on mac, and the "up directory" exists.

 

i wanna see what linux can do once it becomes more and more prevelent as time passes, my fixer upper laptop will probably have linux on it (please let me know what linux os i should install)

I personally feel quite a few of his software complaints wouldn't of occurred if he had spent a bit more time learning the ins and outs. I've been a Mac user for about 6 years before switching to a Surface Pro 3 and honestly I preferred my MAC experience way more than my Windows 8.1 Pro / Windows 10 TP experiences.

Actually it would be remarkably similar. Linux is more flexible at some things but more cryptic on others and for an average non-user like Linus the experience would be about the same on a big distro like Ubuntu or Mint.

The same thing can be said about Windows. It's all about learning how the system works.

Both Mac OS X and Windows have pros and cons.

 

Windows has has always had horrible scaling problems, and the lack of a prober start menu in Windows 8 is inexcusable.

In Mac OS, Finder has always been horrible compared to the Windows and Linux equivalent. And why you can't format a drive through Finder is beyond me.

You shouldn't have to open Disk Utility, it should just be a right click away in Finder.

 

Personally, I would change to Linux in a heartbeat, but it doens't support most of the programs that I need.

Linux is awesome <3

 

My craptop has around 80-90% CPU usage in idle in Windows 7.

When I switched to Xubuntu, that number dropped to 5-8%.

 

Awesome.
