In what way is this supposed to be a "developer machine"?

It's just a locked-down, shittier Linux that you can't do anything on.

Or the impossibility of just plugging in an Android phone and being able to copy files. This thing is a shitshow. Describe your workflow to me and I'm sure at least 1/2 of what you need to do is impossible on FagOS.

>In what way is this supposed to be a "developer machine"?
hardware is plenty for development away from home office
lots of IO packed into a small package if you have a dock
it just works, can focus on my work vs customizing my os
its very close to linux, programs written on macos usually will work when deployed to an AL2 host, difference (if any) is usually trivial
wsl2 could never compare, nearly impossible if the application you're running in wsl2 has a UI
linux desktop is a joke
integrates well with my phone, i can send texts from it
high quality accurate display, good for design work with colors
ive never used a better, more durable mousepad on a laptop

>>you can't prevent the computer from sleeping when you close the lid
once I plug my mac via usb-c on my screen and close the lid nothing changes anon, when I am using it. But not having it charged / connected to a screen and it goes to sleep mode when you close the lid is perfect. My shitty ass work windows laptop does not do it and it is annoying as shit
>>
>>107089718
This is exactly the problem: FagOS trying to read the user's mind instead of just letting them do whatever they want.

I want to leave my computer on with the lid closed so I can still hear notification sounds if it's in my backpack. On Windows/Linux/BSD you'll just have a GUI menu where you can tell it to not do anything when the lid is closed. On FagOS you can only do whatever Faggot Cook wants.

I don't know what happened with Windows 11 but for any computer I used now, when I select "Update and shutdown" the cunt just restarts instead.

there's an app bettermousefix or something. i'm sure it's just tweaking an OS setting.
>cant prevent sleep when lid closed
there's a setting that controls the behavior when plugged in in the settings. if that's not good enough macos ships with caffeinate.
>can't use a 4k monitor
what. that's bullshit.
>>107089569
you can find android nearbyshare things for macos. it's faster than the USB2 port on your shitty android phone.

>>
>>107092661
>what. that's bullshit.
Not the OP, but it's unfortunately the truth. The gay niggers hard coded a bunch of resolutions into the OS or something, and you need either a 5K monitor (or something with an Apple-esque resolution like 1680x11something or whatever)...

... or the BetterDisplay app, but it still isn't a panacea.
>>

dude, you can plug any monitor into a mac and it works.

You realize a Macbook Air does not have a fan or vents, right? Do you really think a computer without vents will cook itself because the lid is closed?

You can, pic related. If you're not on Sonoma, it's this terminal command.
>defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1

>you can't adjust the keyboard backlight with a keyboard shortcut
Replacing these with mission control and finder buttons was fucking retarded.
>you can't prevent the computer from sleeping when you close the lid
Plug it in. Or use Amphetamine.
>you can't prevent the computer from sleeping when you close the lid
My 1080p lcd and SXGA monitors look fine.

Only the case for unsigned apps. Which is what, 0.1%?

>>107089648
For me, it's ease of deployment. Nothing comes close to either Parralels or Time Machine. Everything is standardised and reliable. None of the bullshit of Windows, and pretty much all the powertools you'd get from Linux with the peace of mind that you're not using some hobby os that's been vibe coded by trannies.

>>107097564
>You can, pic related. If you're not on Sonoma, it's this terminal command.
KEK and you lot shit on Linux for needing to use the terminal for basic settings when this is literally a checkbox in KDE.
>>
>>107097381
I gave up on them when MacOS got window snapping. It was always a pain to have shit break when MacOS updated.
>>
>>107096954
Okay, >>107097564 is right, apparently this is an option in the newest version. That makes -1 out of dozens of retarded Fag OS design decisions. Big deal nigger.

Great, now admit everything I say is true.
>>
>>107097649
>KEK and you lot shit on Linux for needing to use the terminal for basic settings
No? The fact they share effectively the same terminal is something I like. But you know, not a hobby os, peace of mind. Debian is great for tinkering with on a Pi board, but getting actual work done? Lol.
People wanting power user features should absolutely be expected to go into the terminal, and I don't care what that hippy faggot Jobs said. Otherwise, what kind of power user are you? It couldn't be that you're actually just some luddite who doesn't use CLI apps that wants to look cool on /g/ by trying to "own" the "itoddlers", right?
>>107097656
