Why all the hate? All the pros of Windows with none of the cons of Linux

>All the pros of Windows with none of the cons of Linux
Plus an entirely new set of cons that are exclusive to the specific flavor of mental retardation that is macOS

It's an OS for the tech illiterate that offers something interesting only to artists. For anyone who knows what ram is, macOS is just handcuffs and paywalls. It's more indifference than hate.

I have Sumatra for when I want to open an epub and it does it just fine. It may not have a shiny gui or be "good" in some other arbitrary way, but it can do it just fine.
It's the device form factor itself that's not as suitable for reading as a small handheld with an eink display, but you already know that very well.
You're grasping at straws in a way that strongly resembles bait (if it's not actually bait). Please stop wasting my time.

8gb on Mac is equal to 12 on Linux and 16 on windows

>>101567384
Tbf I just use google books web reader for this but I agree there are not good desktop apps

>>101567992
There is no editor but Zathura is a great lightweight viewer, even better than Sumatra

>>101568003
Everyone who says this never mentions what the actual work is. What can't you do on a Mac that you can do on windows other than play games? The only other thing I can think of is very heavy GPU tasks that require a 4090, but that is very niche and I have a hard time believing every autist here uses cad software regularly. It makes it sound like a cope when you don't explain

>>101568044
Honestly I am 90% sure that everyone on here only cares about Linux and privacy because they are hoarding CP

Sumatra is a terrible app. I've used it. It looks like ass and you can't customize it. it crashes all the time too. No one who actually reads for enjoyment could use this. Maybe for reference on a nonfiction book

Luckily I never need to "read for enjoyment" on my laptop or desktop (lmao) because I have an appropriate device for it.
That's like saying "my spork is the best at eating steaks, your spork sucks" to a guy who has regular utensils and only keeps a spork to the side just in case.

macOS is the least customizable OS out of the big 3. Is customization only important to you when it comes to epub readers?

You can't customize shit on Windows and it's ugly as fuck and bloated. You can make Linux itself look pretty but you can't make the ugly ass FOSS apps look pretty

It's the worst of both worlds if you're an engineer. Everything is a file = UNIX. Everything is an API = Windows. MacjeetOS is everything is a file but also these bloated API frameworks that make doing anything productive almost impoossible

It’s a comfy OS and the batteries and trackpads are unmatched. Most people don’t give one single fuck about customizing things or running niche programs that only Windows can run. Modern Windows is a UI nightmare. Even returning to XP Luna would be an improvement.

Linux fag here and I have bad news for you:

Slack: Electron/Chrome wrapped website available for MacOS

Opera: Glorified meme version of Chrome available for MacOS

Teams: Electron/Chrome wrapped website available for MacOS

VSCode: Electron/Chrome wrapped website available for MacOS

Terminal: Go home, you're drunk. Terminal.app does more stuff correctly than most default and buggy terminals available on BSD and GNU/Linux.

>All the pros of Windows
Such as an infinite supply of software for every tiny niche?
Absolutely stunning backward compatibility, down to the driver level?
Runs on absolutely anything built in the last 20 years?
The platinum standard in central manageability and configuration?

I have a 3000€ MBP M1 Pro from work and when it is attached to one external monitor resizing windows starts to lag. It's so bad. I would seriously rather use Gentoo on 5 year old thinkpad for the rest of my life than latest MAc if forced choice between the two.
>>
>>101567260
It has no use case. You run Linux if you prefer privacy and FOSS, and if you don't care about privacy or FOSS, might as well run Windows and get the best software support.

I genuinely can't think of a single thing that really gives MacOS an edge, outside of maybe a well connected cross platform ecosystem?

>iToddlers are literally so retarded they can only barely use the browser on Linux
And this is why the Apple userbase is 100% only brain damaged retards. You wouldn't even know how to breathe if Apple didn't tell you when. I do all my work on a Linux computer and I play all my games on another Linux computer. I also have a Linux server and of course a Linux laptop with a nice long battery life. I never get filtered by skill issues.
