Why do Linux users hate macOS more than Windows?

Windows has WSL, so I can have a nearly identical environment when I have to use it for work. MacOS is just different enough to be annoying, e.g. using BSD versions of coreutils instead of gnu. The MacOS desktop environment is also irredeemable garbage.
>>
I don't :-)

At some point, I actually hated both Windows and macOS equally, but weirdly enough, the more I use Linux, the more I respect macOS with my hatred of Windows growing more. It's a bit hard to explain but I think you get it.

>>103232273
if linux and macos have the same ecosystem, then it would be better if only one of them is considered important by people and improve it
or better yet, a compromise between the two, linux with macOS UI which is open source development, with focus on mac hardware, then slightly change the source code to be compatible with non mac devices, and also the price of macbook should be reduced in such a way that it increases affordability

I hate m$ more. At least Apple gave us CUPS

I use macos and linux at work, macos at home, and I genuinely pity people who have to use Windows.
Linux and macos have the same heritage, they are very similar in most ways. Windows is completely alien and weird and just feels like everything is wrong on purpose. Like all the relevant problems were already solved long ago but Microsoft devs were completely ignorant and still decided to do everything their own stupid and broken way. It's like that paper in a medical journal where someone "invented" integration and named it after themselves.
Up until relatively recently Microsoft genuinely had a philosophy of completely ignoring everything outside of Microsoft. They have since turned around but it's too late, there's too much ugly baggage that Windows can never get rid of.

Linux users don't hate macOS per se but surely dislike (for the most part) centralised proprietary "features" apt to limit the user control on the machine for whatever reason, for example having apple making increasingly less straightforward the process of running unsigned applications in macOS.

windows represents balance (old windows did anyway)

linux people often end up liking mac too because their brains are polarized. linux is completely open and allows almost too much freedom and customization, whilst mac is the polar opposite, completely closed and locked down

windows is in the middle, and while yes it is closed, it still allowed alot of customization (old windows), but not too much to the point where you become overwhelmed

>Why do Linux users hate macOS more than Windows?
Windows helped give us mostly open computers capable of running Linux.

MacOS gave us a bunch of collaborator trannies trying to pretend Apple hardware is capable of running Linux. When future hardware will quite obviously become impossible to reverse engineer, as all system code will be encrypted in memory. It's the Apple way.

Those who would give up liberty for a little temporary convenience are fags.

It tried to kill some interoperability with FAT&SMB and talked some smack about the GPL.

Meanwhile Apple is simply locking everything down with encryption, needing fear no interoperability at all.

Microsoft disliked freedom but unintentionally promoted it, Apple is anti-freedom and effectively destroys it.

Honestly its probably not paid shills and just the fact that most of this board consists of drooling consumerists retards whose interest in tech doesnt expand beyond "buy new product". But if you buy Apple products at all you are actually stupid, it is actually the dumbest possible thing they can do, their entire ecosystem is designed to fuck you over and charge you out the ass for basic functionalities.

Linux market share quadrupled in less than two years (less than 1% to 4% now), this is snowballing out of control because people realize that Linux isn't this cumbersome POS it used to be ten years ago and with people alarming everyone over recall it's going to end very very badly for microsofties.
Be it everyone going to Apple or running some Linux, I don't see windows surviving the next 5 years without ms bribing game publishers to lock down games with kernel level anti cheat and even that might be on the chopping block if something like the last cloudstrike fiasco happens again.

If I was Satya, I'd start shitting my pants right about now to not also miss the time to market for that as well.

For people that understand computers, macOS has unintuitive workflows and guardrails because it's designed for people that don't understand computers. It also "does things I didn't ask it to do" like Windows.
