if I could actually customize MacOS the way I want i would use it exclusivelythe whole problem with Macs, especially now, is they are locked down and far too limited

I hope you like the blop, because on OSX, upgrading is not optional.I actually like the blop, but if you don't, too bad.
>>106443596nta, but>COMPLETELY remove animations>replace the stupid dock with a windows/linux like taskbar>make the alt tab behavior like windows/linux3. can be done with external softwareI don't know about 2.But I'm pretty sure 1. cannot be done (no, it's not the accessibility option that speeds up animations) and I will NOT stand there and watch windows moving and desktops flipping, it is a complete dealbreaker

>>106443488What happened to the notch in the middle of the screen where they cut out a huge bit of the LCD?
>>106443788I can use it, but it's like driving some shitty french car or something.Everything useful is hidden or don't exist
>>106443804>want a alternative On linux you can do the fuck you want, on OSX you get what you get.
>>106443488Imagine being such a worthless person that your only source on income is online shilling
>>106443804well guess what, if you want ANY alternatives you don't get them on MacOS
>>106443596If anything I actually try to get my Gnome to look like mac Desktop. Its simply perfect.
>>106443502this is why developers actually make software for it. they don't have to support 400 different flavors of the same kernel.
>>106444001last I checked EAC and Foobar are only available on windows
>>106443502^This, until Framework or some other company starts selling laptops with quality ARM processors Mac will remain king in this department, unfortunately. Sure Qualcomm, Microsoft, and Samsung tried this but that was an epic fail and relied to much on over hyped AI marketing gimmicks, the battery life was impressive but nothing else about those was. They were basically glorified smartphones with keyboards.
There’s nothing comfy about macOS/Macbooks. I’ve been using them for over ten years for personal use and use a Thinkpad for work. I stupidly got a MacBook Air M4 a few months back. macOS just feels like a toy operating system. It’s like a fancy web browser. A Thinkpad and Windows/Linux is what you use as a tool to get real work done.
>>106443717not sure it qualifies when you advertise your rainbow pride desktop and act all smug about it.
>>106444114i also stupidly got a MacBook Air M4 recently. but i don't think i would ever buy something like a Framework or similar. the price to performance just doesn't make sense.
>>106443488No thanks. I don't believe in buying overpriced hardware from a store full of people who think their shit doesn't stink.

I'm tired of this Apple horseshit.What do vaxxers, round earthers, defenders of the official account of 9/11, and anti Apple activism all have in common? All of them are characterized by a welcoming acceptance of facts that they are victims of a totalitarian authority. In the case of Apple, the “totalitarian authority” are a bunch of greedy salesmen who have devoted tens of thousands of highly paid hours towards making you pay out your arse for the smallest upgrades. “Apple sucks!” is a proven theory with a basis in undeniable truth, and its supporters have spent years belittling Apple employees, developers, and users. And it’s our responsibility to never make this fucking stop.Apple works for almost no one, and works for less people than is even possible with Linux. Most of the truthful attestations you’ve heard about that it’s cucked are just that: the blunt truth. And if you insist on living the dream, then keep hating on Apple, champ!
>>106443502>I NEED to customize my computer like I customize my body (I’m a pedophile trans womxn btw)Too bad tranny.

>>106443488The single biggest issue is Rosetta being a huge pain in the dick to deal with AND they're removing it next year. It's pretty close to being one computer to rule them all, (and for $3000+ it damn well better be,) but the fact that you can't just play any game you want makes it a fucking nightmare to deal with for the remaining 20% of my computing needs.It's also gay as fuck but it is what it is.
>>106443804Good for you, I don't oppose it>>106443862>>106443969Yes, thank you anons>>106443660I'll add a fourth item to the list that I had forgotten,>can't upgrade storageHow the fuck can it become my personal computer if I cannot store what I want, how I want? Why would I pay a billion dollars to get 1TB storage in 2025? How can I trust its reliability if the locked down shitty SSD will inevitably fail by being write raped and I cannot easily replace it? I can slap 4x4TB TLC NVMe ssds on my motherboard now or 2x4TB on my laptopWake me up when apple stuff aren't toys anymore

How do I get a macbook to teleport behind me?
>>106443613They aren't trying to have a real discussion. They're trying to bait an autistic into having a meltdown. The problem is all the autistics are currently on X, not 4Chan, so it is just targetless empty trolling, aka spam.
>>106452848I some of them might actually be mac employees. In one of these threads I said something like "Ok, sell me. I want to have different themes like something Aero. That's one of the reasons I switched to Linux. If I have to pay so much for a computer I shouldn't need to tinker to change how the system looks."A few months later Liquid Glass came out.
Honest question: Do Macs have the option for "suspend to RAM" style sleep, or do they have the Windows "I don't actually ever go sleep" Modern Standby bullshit?I have a HP laptop I have to keep always awake using PowerToys because there's something wrong with its ability to snap out of S0 mode (allegedly to do with the Ryzen 5 Mobile series CPUs), and if it ever does go to sleep it has to be hard reset. Which is a really fucking annoying problem for a laptop to have, and apparently no one- not Dell, not Lenovo, not Framework, no one who makes Windows PCs has S0 sleep (the one that works) anymore, it's all just Windows modern god damn fucking useless standby, and at this point I will seriously consider paying the Apple tax if I can have a laptop plus the privilege of unplugging the thing.
>>106443488i dont get this piece of shiti got one because i wanted something light and with long battery lifeits overall performance is fine but i gets such simple bugs a winshit machine never would like getting suck in a video playback or in a google search

>>106443663Have you ever given thought to the fact that when you look at computers, your mind immediately goes to homosexuality? Because that has never occured to me, but then again, I am actually 100% heterosexual.
>>106443596GUI is shit, Finder is shit, Dock is shit, Spotlight is shit, the notch is shit, the top bar is shit, do I need to continue? So while all of those do "work" they do not work as I want and instead of using "my" machine as I would like I have to cope with the retarded Apple shit. Its quite stupid that I have to download and use third party applications to, for example, scroll my mouse like I want. The quality of hardware is peak tho and its still better than windows 11.
>>106443804Windows taskbar is the only good thing about windows. >>106443999If anything I actually try to get my macos to look like KDE Desktop. Its simply perfect.
>>106444057It so weird how badly Apple fucked everyone up. Incel and gAyMD got absolutely shat on with better price to performance and actually competitive performance. Qualcumm had the arm market seemingly cornered only to have their intel moment and now have been stuck playing catchup and sticking their chips into Microshits half-assed ai OS mess that no body cares about because people only buy windows for the software compatibility and if you take that away even a little bit or make it work not as well, then nobody will care (clearly).
What to do on a MacBook if you’re not a programmer, artist, or even a gamer? I can’t think of anything other than web browsing.
>>106443488Got a mac mini m4 for iOS development and my overall productivity skyrocketed. Everything just works and I don't waste my time tinkering with the DE anymore. I also got all my cli programs that I had on linux. The meme is real, macOS is a better linux.
>>106453539> What to do on literally any computer ever if you’re not a programmer, artist, or even a gamer? I can’t think of anything other than web browsing.
>>106443596>NEED in capsAll fanboys always come out with this tired bullshit, "you actually don't really NEED to do that thing you do that my favourite toy is unable to do!!! Just stop doing that thing!!!!"
>>106443488>buy fagbook since i suddenly need a laptop>"man this ui is kinda shit lets check the reworked one in beta">the new one is even worsethanks tim apple, very coolI also like how the text on my external 4k display looks like it’s some piece of shit 800x600 screen from 25 years ago
>>106453915>i'm retarded and bought a 4k display without doing any research
>>106453959Yes I should have researched the display i bought 2 years before a fagbook to make sure special snowflake macos plays nicely with itit works fine with betterdisplay or through the usb dongle/hub thingy anyway, its just fucking bizarre that apple trash cant do something as simple as DISPLAY FUCKING TEXT on the built in hdmi port without bugsFor the record i also have a 1440p dell with 108ppi, shown as good on your shitty chart, and it looks even worse
>>106443488basd
>>106443488The problem with Mac is that it's only good if you do everything the "Apple way" and refusing to stay inside Apple's walled garden, is incredibly annoying and convoluted.
>>106452911>some of them might actually be mac employees [...]>A few months later Liquid Glass came outguaranteed not relatedinternally, Apple operates as a very isolated companyunless you specifically are part of the OS design team, you would not learn or be involved in anything related to the next OS versions before the publicwe read the same public rumors websites as you lol
>>106455747If you work for Apple, then I have to ask why you operate a tardsquad here. Literally what is the point of spamming a board with like 200 unique users, 24/7? Is it an actual Apple initiative, or do Apple employees just enjoy spamming and trolling in their downtime? Is there some weird personal vendetta against 4Chan?
>>106455797>Apple is a very isolated company>TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR MARKETING DEPARTMENT
>>106443488the only good program on mac has only ever been logic and garageband. that's it. everything else is trash.
>>106453539>>106453603Is there actually anything else fun to do with it?
customised macos.retards who say it's now possible are either niggers, brainlets or dishonest trannies or all of the above.
>>106455862not possible*
>>106455747So it's not possible someone from the core OS design team lurks this board?I just want to say Liquid Glass did sell me. It's pretty much what I've been asking for and I'm glad a big tech company is doing something different for a change.
>>106455797wouldn't know, as >>106455821 pointsif there were actual apple shills here (doubtful but let's assume the schizo idea isn't so schizo), then most likely it'd be done by whatever sub-sub-contractors the marketing org hired for online ads, and it might be that literally no one in Apple itself is awareI mean Apple doesn't exactly have a use for the approval of /g/ of all places...>>106455894>So it's not possible someone from the core OS design team lurks this board?it is possible, but core os people here most likely would be OS/kernel engineers, not the design orgbut yes, it is technically not impossible for a design person saw your postbut visionOS is quite old by now, and it's what actually inspired the whole thing so that seems more likely to me>I'm glad a big tech company is doing something different for a changeyeah I like it too, and I'm actually surprised that it works so well, given how resource-intensive I would have thought it'd be (inb4 "muh shaders" people: ok yes but I'm not a gfx engineer so I wouldn't have fucking known)
I'm currently using a Hackintosh for the first time and I really have to admit that macOS is a pretty motherfucking fine OS.
>>106455920>muh shadersEven then, we've been using shaders since compositing was a thing. I can't imagine whatever new effects Liquid Glass adds being worse than React Native webslop.>>106455937Just realized I can install a MacOS iso in a vm instead of going to an Apple store to try it out when I know I'm not going to drop 2k on a computer that day :O
>>106443488based and macpilled
>>106456057>Even then, we've been using shaders since compositing was a thing.yeah, but doesn't mean that it doesn't look expensive to run at first glance is what I meantand unsurprisingly everyone was whining about it in advance after the announcement, until it was clear that by dev beta 2 it was already pretty smooth even on 3-4 years old iPhones
