I bought a new computer with Debian 13 pre-installed after using windows for 25 years.Here are my observations so far:>not a day goes by without updates>installing software that takes a minute to install on windows, in some cases takes me weeks of wrestling with package versions to install on Debian>when finally installed the software may stop working after package updates and whatnot>some software when installed doesn't work well at all and has terrible scaling issues>audio of my microphone turned to shitOverall I am feeling that maybe I should have tried MacOS. I didn't want to switch to Windows 11 for privacy reasons.My computing needs:>general office use>accounting including specialized accounting software>photo and video editing >web browsing etc
macos is just a locked down linux I think you would like it, it is also ROCK SOLID stable, I am writing this on a macbook air, my first apple computer, that I've had for two years and I have not done a single reset in that time, and it remains performant and silky smooth
>>107181631I bought the PC in question from a company that specializes in privacy stuff and they did HAP disabling of the Intel ME, which was a big selling point for me as a tin foil hat schizzoBut now I learned that it may be all for nothing as it has huge firmware risks so you may lock one bqckdoor while opening another.Smh
>>107181616You were filtered by Linux for lack of skills, congrats. So just use BigMacOS for your faceboob browsing.Next thread, please.
>>107181654Don't pretend you have magical skills that make any of the issues I mentioned not to exist. I am just being honest and I did manage to use it, just with a lot more effort than someone who is more experienced. You are not God
>>107181631>macos is just a locked down linuxWhat is locked down in macos? Ricing potential?

>>107181705>/g/ doesn't have spoilersFFFFFFFFFUUUCK
>>107181705Op here. I used gimp already on windows because I am frugal and it's free. I needed to follow YouTube tutorials though for basic stuff. Nevertheless it works well if you can understand it

>>107181674>weeks of wrestling with package versionsno anon, you are retarded and.the other anon is right.
>>107181676To be fair most linux users are striving to look as great as macOS. it is never the other way around. Most ricing is just cope for not having enough money to get a mac with superior UI. Its the equivalent of car fanboys wanting a manual transmission while real car enthusiast with money, are too tired of a manual and just want an automatic.

Another Linux hate thread, this is posted multiple times a day. I wonder who's behind it.
>>107181616>I bought a new computer>My computing needs:>>general office use>>accounting including specialized accounting softwareThat's a work computer. You only buy that yourself if you're running your own business. Even then it shouldn't be the same computer that you use on your spare time. It's easier for Linux to replace your spare time computer since commercial software companies are sometimes lagging behind on Linux support.>>107181767>it is never the other way aroundThat's because cuckOS doesn't let you change anything other than the wallpaper (for now, be glad you are still allowed to do that).>inb4 w-w-well I wouldn't even w-want to *inhales copium*
>>107181616Debian is shit. Use Arch or CachyOS, there's no need for any other distro.
>>107183340>grooming adultsArchfags are getting desperate
>>107181645lmaoyou got rinsed by some tranny/jeet in a basement selling you old hardware for 4x its valueand then you got filtered by the thing you told yourself you neededcomedy gold
>>107181674literally the only problem you encountered that I have ever had on linux is the poor mic qualitystill clueless as to why but i never looked into it much
>>107181616>Debian>Daily updatesD-, bad bait, see me after class
>>107181705>>accounting including specialized accounting software>Run through Winehaha good onea lot of accounting stuff (sage, quickbooks) works in browser anyway
>>107181616>>not a day goes by without updatesaren't you in control of that? stop updating every day.
>>107183384I ran into the same mic issues, it's seriously irritating.
>>107181869>You only buy that yourself if you're running your own business.I do
>>107181674I'm on trixie and I've yet to have a single one of your issues (ya fakn liar)
macOS without the bullshit is what linux should have been
>>107181616>installing software that takes a minute to install on windows, in some cases takes me weeks of wrestling with package versions to install on DebianWhat's even the point? Why do so many people write this? Anyone who uses linux knows it's not the case so it's obviously lie. Windows is what is difficult to install software on. You need choco which requires installing for certain software. For other software you need vcpkg, which needs to be installed first. To get things to work normally, you need msys2, which needs to be installed manually, which only works within the msys2 terminal and therefore doesn't work various tools so no actually you can't use msys2 figure out another way to get it to work. Using R? Install Rtools, a wrapper around msys2 to get things compiled. For other stuff, just download multiple GBs of vscode and random development tools. Everything listed is controlled by APT on debian and works as is.
