Apple Or Microsoft

Screw terminal, i don't like DOS

 

I gave it a try, multiple times, i tried to copy some mods into a game for 4 HOURS and for some stupid reason it wasn't possible.

It was legit a copy paste task on windows, but in OSX it's a nightmare and i just gave up, took me half an hour to figure out how to get into the game files.

 

Also, in windows documents are in C:\Users\username, in OSX you can't do that in an easy way! it's always a very long way around to get there, i mean an explorer is like the most basic thing and the OSX logic is like, i don't get it. A right mouse button would help a lot!

 

Again, sorry but everything you just complained about it a simple task in OSX too.

 

In finder you can just type /users/<username>/documents to get to your documents. Exactly like you can in Explorer. - or any other folder like downloads pictures music etc... All the things are there just like in windows.

 

And to get into a game files you just right click and "explore package contents".

Because a normal double click will launch the application.

 

And right click = click with two fingers on the track pad. Really nice, one of the best things to be honest.

 

And it you don't have a trackpad and one of those shitty single button mouses, you can Alt+click.

 

If you actually use OSX on a daily basis for real things other than modding games you will learn the OS and how everything works just like you did when you were (at one point) new to Windows.

i am jealous, i have 60 gb of storage.. in 2013 apple realised 60 gb was not enough and upgraded to 128... ;( i cri every tiem

Oh man.

 

This MBA is the company's I work for, and I'm stuck on 128GB. I thought I had it bad.

 

I feel for you on 60GB.

Depends on the person and use case, there is no "better".

I can't speak for force-touch. I have never used it.

 

But just the standard apple trackpad which has been on all their laptops in the past 7 years is amazing.

 

Light years ahead of any windows device.

And same with the apple keyboard on their laptops too.

 

light years ahead of any windows laptop keyboard for the typing experience.

 

In fact I like the macbok air keyboard just as much as I do my desktop's Filco Ninja Majestouch 2 TKL Cherry MX Brown. (for typing)

 

Gaming the Filco wins it hands down.

Finder sucks. 

GREAT INPUT.

I like all 3 of them. I've used Windows 95, NT 4.0, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 etc... I've used Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu Server Edition (No GUI) and Linux Mint - Cinnamon Edition. I've also used Mac OS/X Yosemite on my friends Macbook.

yeah it feels great, uniform, and linear

you can also adjust how hard you want the click, or how much you should press before it clicks

The surface glides very easily, and its large too

 

I had to increase acceleration on my MBP to be able to go from one side of the screen to the other though, while still being precise at slow speeds

On a side note, Linux with Windows set-up in a VM alongside GPU passthrough-fuck the BS most people go through with Windows.

 

I could never get GPU_passthrough working at all.

 

What VM software are you using? (also what GPU do you have) I would love to run Ubuntu with a virtual Windows using passthrough.

 

I used OSX for a over a month and got to know it pretty well

Its not bad, but the way file management works, installing programs, and modifying registry is just not for me

 

I prefer to have all the system files in one place so that I can just modify which one I want

And not have to use a terminal for low-level modifications

 

Oh and btw for programming and terminal linux is way better than OSX

And I know because I used linux for 3 years

 

"modifying registry" what, there is no registry in OSX.

 

Also no, I used to use Ubuntu for the better terminal. Then I discovered OSX + iTerm2 + OhMyZsh and it's the most glorious terminal in the world. 

 

I use it every single day of the working week and I would not trade it for anything.

 

And no, programming on OSX is better (for my use case)

I use Sublime Text 3, Vagrant, VMware and virtual's for my hosts. (I program web application in PHP)

 

Everything is just nicer in OSX compared to Ubuntu. (I can't speak for other distro's I've only properly tried Ubuntu 13.10, 14.04 and 15.04.)
