I don't know why you mentioned MacOS here when there's clearly a lot more keeping people from moving to Linux on an Apple computer than a Windows PC. Last I checked Asahi was still rough, Apple differs from hardware OEMs in that they don't develop drivers for Linux. Linux on a Mac machine requires a certain degree of reverse engineering, especially Silicon Macs.

This is just not true. Windows is proprietary and is complete shit and it literally does not care about your time. Now I understand this is a Mac thread so I will give you this: Mac is better than Windows for the normie.

Linux is financially free, yes, but in terms of payment in time it is quite opposite and macOS is in fact free.

Arch + XFCE work just fine for me. No need for ricing past throwing a theme on.

I like Linux because it works on my machine that I built. I like iPhone because it just works for what I need it to. I simply can't use Mac because it does not work on the machine I built. No I am not interested in paying $600 for a locked down computer with less features, options, and functionality. My phone should just work my computer should just do what the fuck I want when I want it not how Apple tells me I should want it. Computer is for work, phone is for calling.

On your desktop, you would ideally use Windows. Linux boxes you in to a few specific use cases. You end up learning a lot about a few things but you quickly run out of things to learn.
I had my Linux phase a decade ago and it helped me learn about how computers work but after a while it became an inconvenience. Most of the info you get past a point isn't actually useful. The tipping point came when I got an actual job.
Now instead of tinkering with my OS to get something done, I get to focus completely on getting better at my job. I'm not spending all day reading the docs of something I didn't need in the first place.

Once you've learned about computers, you move on to using industry-standard software, most of which is on Windows.

>Why is it great for them?
Because they get free code. Working on Linux means working for Microsoft (and a bunch of other corporations) for free.

Linux is industry standard software. Define what industry because it matters. I don't care if most businesses want to use O360, it's irrelevant to me and my own computers. I develop video games for a living I don't need or want Windows past selling my products to the users.

>Because they get free code.
This isn't an argument and it doesn't matter. Everyone benefits not just them. At least I can look at the code that's running on my machine and know it's not immediately sending all my data to an Indian company.

Aren't UE and Unity both optimized for Windows? Aren't your games also going to be optimized for Windows? That's what most of your customers will be using.

The largest corporations reap most of the benefit. Free software would be great if all software were free. But free software in a system built on money means that the people making money always win.

>>106435010
>>106435010
>Aren't UE and Unity both optimized for Windows? Aren't your games also going to be optimized for Windows? That's what most of your customers will be using.
UE and Unity both work on Linux. Optimizing for Windows isn't required because the engines do this by natively compiling for them. Besides that just about every game on Windows runs better on Linux and most games don't work on Mac at all especially after their chip switch.

>The largest corporations reap most of the benefit. Free software would be great if all software were free. But free software in a system built on money means that the people making money always win.
I really don't understand your point. The companies who make money from software also heavily contribute to what I use for free. People paying for Windows are directly funding the interests of open source. Companies like Valve are seeing where the wind is blowing and support Linux for a good reason. I don't care if they profit from it I'm not a communist.

>>106435099
We're not disagreeing over anything. I use Linux for work too.

My point was that you're not hurting Windows, Google, or Apple by using Linux.

And you're not. You're using it to sell a product to Windows-users.

You don't gain anything from using Linux in this case. It's an extra step that's not necessary.

If you were working on something open-source, you would be doing their work for them.

But you're not doing that so I don't see what you're disagreeing with me on.

>>106435295
>My point was that you're not hurting Windows, Google, or Apple by using Linux.
That's not what you said, you said that I was directly benefiting them.

>And you're not. You're using it to sell a product to Windows-users.
Again, I'm no communist. I make my games work on Mac too.

>You don't gain anything from using Linux in this case
I do, I get an operating system that I don't fucking hate and makes me want to quit computers all together. If windows was my only choice I would be a farmer instead.

>>106435330
If you were contributing to open-source software, you would be directly benefiting them. You're a gamdev so you're the opposite of that.

You said you hate Microsoft and Google so I assumed you meant the companies and not the UX. If it's just about the UX, that's down to personal preference. I don't notice the difference because I don't have to interact with the OS at all.

What's the difference in UX for you? Aren't the apps exactly the same on every OS?

MuseScore sucks compared to Dorico + NotePerformer.

>>106435402
>You said you hate Microsoft and Google so I assumed you meant the companies and not the UX.
I do hate the companies. Their UX is just a symptom of everything wrong with their company. I don't hate them because they make money I hate them because they entirely lost touch with their own software and culture due to their incessant need on hiring Indians for cheap labor. Their UX isn't what makes me hate them. I can get used to just about any interface; it's how the interface works behind the scenes that pisses me off. It's their culture or rather lack thereof that makes me angry.

>>106435491
Using Indians as cheap immigrant labor isn't a Microsoft or Google problem. It's a society-wide issue.
It isn't going to be solved by moving to Linux. It's a political problem tied to financial and media power.
The only hope for putting up a fight in that area is the crypto world. It's weird how /g/ never mentions crypto.

macOS, while still lacking compared to Windows, still contains plenty of professional software that has no (good) replacement in Linux.

The CPU part of their chips is good plus unified RAM is useful
It's the GPU that's dogshit

>>106436466
You're right.

>>106436473
Sitting here with an M1 Max, I haven't noticed the GPU is dogshit.

>>106436177
I'd be stupid if i were relying on 10,000 Desktop Linux Distributions for day-to-day work.

The primary product of Desktop Linux Developers is the creation of new Desktop Linux distributions.

It's like, 4060 tier or something. It's just that everything on macOS is optimized for Apple Silicon so it performs better than you'd expected. (Not that there's much GPU heavy stuff that you'd use on Mac except for a few games and stuff like Blender) Windows performance is held back by how MS bends over backwards to ensure everything from 30 years back works flawlessly, because they're too pussy to tell lazy retard corpos whining about how much work it'll take to update their dogshit software. Meanwhile Apple doesn't give a shit if their updates brick half the software on their OS, (the transition to ARM was the most impressive one) and just goes "update to our standards or it will not be on macOS" and miraculously even the most retarded corpos figure it out in months.

I never see this constant "click okay" on my Mac. Must be a skill issue.

>>106436685
You're right, Apple forces developers to keep moving forward, or else.

Given the battery life on Apple Silicon, I'll take their GPU.

>>106436685
>(the transition to ARM was the most impressive one)

I thought the transition to ARM was impressive.

I have a family member here using a Mac for her business. She never noticed the architecture change.

I don't know a single person that owns a Mac. The only place I have seen a Mac was the school library in the mid 2000s.

>miraculously even the most retarded corpos figure it out in months.
it took some developers nearly two years to have ready software because the development tools were trash and the cpu was a downgrade. but it saved apple money and its users are too fucking stupid to know the difference. their macs since late 2000s (before ARM change over) were just as shit.
>months
stop lying, rajeesh.

>>106437088
very few people ever owned a mac. its marketshare has always been embarrassing and it only makes up around 30% of apple's revenue in 2025. apple don't give a fucking shit anymore.

>>106437068
I mean if she's just using basic office stuff, then that would have been no problem. It was more dedicated software + anything "indie" that got pulverized.

>>106437151
The CPU is an upgrade over the slop the Curry at Intel has been shipping.

>>106437148
Some of us want macOS, Sparky.

>>106437088
All my friends are on macOS, with the exception of the accountants in my group of friends.

The only Desktop Linux user I know is a RedHat employee.

>>106437148
Why do you think macOS users are Jeets?

>>106427118
waste of performance and redundant bugs

>>106437151
How much revenue is generated by Desktop Linux?

>>106426814
You don't need it. Just use Pinta.

Linux hasn't figured out music production, Apple has mastered it.

>>106438261
Bitwig works on Linux. Works great.

>>106436685
>It's like, 4060 tier
except the 4060 needs 150W and apple silicon needs 30W

Apple silicon is a dead end. Lots of gusto up front but nothing lasting. Impressive chipset but remember... China owns it.
