Why do many people (mostly devs) use mac books and MacOS for their projects?Is there something better with MacOS or it's just better hardware?Or plain vanity and status symbol?Because with all the hype about the Macbook Neo, in reality it's just chromebook with MacOS on top, with double the price tag.
work gives you a mac as a "perk" because windows is just dogshit
>>108880239I've used macbooks my whole career thusfar and linux at home. the problem with any non-Apple laptop is the hardware is absymal dogshit by comparison and it's been that way for like 15 years. even the Neo's mechanical trackpad (instead of the Pro's haptic) is far better than any PC laptop I've ever had the displeasure of usingmacOS has undoubtedly gotten worse over the years but it's generally inoffensive and works OK. imo Linux on laptops is still a finicky mess. even with ones from vendors like Dell and Framework inevitably run into some obnoxious hardware problem, so I learned long ago to just stick to desktops>chromebook with MacOS on topwhat chromebook is made of aluminum?>t.
when you're actually using a computer for work and not just h4xx0ring the bios and tampering with the registry you tend to value shit that works properly so you can focus on... work. unironically being able to say "what's a computer" is desirable, you want it to just be invisible. you don't want to think about your damm hardware because it's constantly brokenwinblows is for gamers and overclocking fans still stuck in 2003, and loonix is for neckbeards, repressing AGP trans women, and script kiddiescute hsts passoids and successful developers prefer mac because it just works. it's something we knew early on. and this is what enrages fake tech wannabes. they don't understand why it matters to have shit that fucking works
>>108880239Zero developers who actually get paid for their work use macbook neo it has 8gb of ram retard. Neo was designed for student fags to take notes.Yes, 16 inch macbook pro with 30+gb ram is a beast machine.
>>108880239Windows is awful. I usually go a year or more without having to use it, but I'm always shocked at how bad the experience is when I do.>neo is just a chromebookChromebooks are awful. I don't mind chromeos so much, but chromebooks are always ewaste hardware. Windows has this problem as well. The majority of windows laptops are awful plastic shit where they focus on specs instead of user experience as a whole.
>>108880355>aluminumReally? didn't apple promise to use only titanium?
>>108880379>cute hsts passoidsSo you agree mac is for trannies
>>108880239>in reality it's just chromebook with MacOS on topgaymers have ruined computers with their tech illiteracy
>>108880405no? the only titanium macbook they ever made was the powerbook g4
>>108880414Yes, I'm glad we agree that windows is for time wasting gamergate incels
>>108880379linux does not prevent you from overclockingneither does mac os
>>108880517Did anyone ever claim that the OS determines the clock speed? This is why no one takes wintards seriously. Everything they do is based on some retarded timesink hobby that everyone else moved on from around 2010. What arctic silver are they on now? 12? 15? Imagine actually knowing the answer to this lmao
>>108880528The post I replied to. They said 2003 oc enthusiast run windows but it's not true. Someone who wants to make their computer faster for free is more likely to be a linux user.
>>1088802391. linux is the best dev environment for projects2. mac is just expensive linux without the autism and faggotryit's like using irl money to trade the (i) faggotry of linux community and (ii) idiotic user experience of linux in exchange for having to pay more money and getting stability.
>>108880541Wow that's even dumber than I thought. The original purpose of overclocking was to increase your FRAPS while gaming your Unreal Tournament LAN parties, what's the goal now? Running Tux Racer at 4k?
>>108880565Today's overclocking is focused on memory tuning and lowering gpu fan noise
>>108880559>mac is just expensive linuxThis.Most devs use macoos for mac projects.
>>108880239Unix-like environments are very nice for software development, so Linux and macOS fit the bill. Linux, however, sometimes has worse battery life on the same laptop than Windows, and in general it's not as easy to choose a Windows laptop as a MacBook. It's also a status symbol to some devs, certainly.
I have a desktop with Arch on it for geymen and sometimes I develop on it too but mostly gaming.I also have a macbook pro m4 pro only for dev stuff and learning.I think both are good because they are very similar, both are perfect for dev stuff, Windows is shit.
>>108880239Gnomefags and freedesktopfags tried to force me to use wayland, which doesn't or didn't support global hotkeys, waylandfags are fucking cancerous people, so I just bought a Macbook Air, fuck freedesktop and their cronies
>>108880747I get that.But I have X220 with Fedora and never had any issues running linux.For a fraction of the price and this is with 32 GB or ram.
>>108880239It just works retard
>>108880239You live in a city with a large homosexual population, don't you?
>>108880841you want to post your full specs and not cherrypick your ram? there are probably reasons its a fraction of the price.
>>108880938are you retarded? an X220 can only have a very specific cpu and if they had a custom motherboard I'm sure they would mention it
>>108880239with the exploding ram prices macbooks are cheaper than windows laptops. Blame nvidia for their greed.
>>108880938Why do you need extreme CPU processing power for IDE and web rendering?
>>108880239Apple chips are years ahead of the competition, even the latest Intel and AMD laptop CPUs are only approaching 80% of the performance of the Apple M1.
>>108880239No dev uses mac as a status symbol lmao> in reality it's just chromebookNo, it's Apple disposing of trash. They have chips that are partially faulty. Those go into Neo. There's nothing new about it. Prior to that they were disposing of trash by selling iPads. Same thing, all the partially faulty hardware went there.If Apple cared, they would release 12GB version. Nobody would criticize it at all, because that's reasonalbe. But they only care about disposing of trash in a sustainable way (meaning they are getting paid for it too).
>>108880239Chromebooks are a separate OS. It’s more like a shitty repurposed iPad that runs Mac OS.
>>108880355> what chromebook is made of aluminum? ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook. Unbelievably premium little device. Runs ChromeOS like shit tho, I have openSUSE on mine and it's scads better
>>108880379Real engineering software is Windows only
>>108880239macs just work
>>108881129binning chips has been happening for a very long time. they aren't trash. i remember intel doing it with the 486. just this week there was a flurry of articles saying qualcomm should do the same thing.
>>108880239before M1 there was no real reason to get a Macbut everything changed after M1 where now it makes more sense to get a macbook than most other laptops
>>108880355>macOS has undoubtedly gotten worse over the yearscouldn't be more wrong
>>108882415The Neo isn't M1 though
>>108882415the whole intel era of apple was a dark time.>>108882679all of their chips use the same architecture basically. all the way down to the watch. they just change out blocks and add/remove shit.
>>108880239better hardware and software development on windows is pain and misery
>>108880355>the problem with any non-Apple laptop is the hardware is absymal dogshit by comparison and it's been that way for like 15 years.what exactly have you used? the thinkpad X230 is almost 15 years old, so's the last A1278 macbook and is otherwise identical in specs and I'll take the X230 over the mac any day of the week because it's damn near bulletproof compared to it and the keyboard mogs especially if you fit a 7row from an x220 that's probably nice (never used it) and a gentoo user like yourself would certainly appreciate a good >imo Linux on laptops is still a finicky mess.elitebook 845 g8 justwerks, even the realtek wifi works BETTER THAN IT DID ON WINDOWSoverall it sucks dick but that's the entirely the laptops fault>what chromebook is made of aluminum?quite a few (all cost more than the mb neo though)an aluminum laptop isn't really all that in my humble opinion>t. need I tell you what an elitebook 845 g8 is made out of
>>108880505and for only one revision before redesigning it to be aluminum because the titanium would fall off and the hinges would disintegrate
>>108880379How did a stupid commercial buck break you retards to still seethe about it till this day
