humiliation ritualwhat is the use case for this ui other than humiliation?
>>108983748snaps?
>>108983748I am on a mac and have never used this installation method. I always use Brew.
>>108984082What is brew?
>>108984335banger modal jazz piece by renowned trumpeter Miles Davis
>>108984373Thats bitches brew. That anon was talking about a different brew.
>>108983748You got it backwards.The humiliation ritual is going through 20 steps of setup wizard, checking and correcting all the settings and manually dodging sketchy third party installations that are hiding in there for all the normies that repeatedly click "next" without reading. The "slightly move icon to install" is the luxury blessed experience.
>>108984335brew these balls
>>108983748agreed. i can't imagine how many mounted installers are in the finder window of normies
>>108986249more software? for me? why dont mind if i do
>>108986275MacOS users are computer literateThe normie boomers you think of use Windblows or just their phones
>I want more control>no not like this
>>108983748Well it's a little retarded, but the use case for this UI is that you can actually drag the app to other locations other than the Applications folder that shows up there. You can drag it anywhere
>>108983748I never got it either. It's not like you have the choice where to install the app. And why not have a simple Yes/No prompt instead of this thing that looks like a flash game for toddlers.
>>108986296>I want more convenience>no not like thisTwo posts to describe 80-95% of all /g/ posts.
>>108986249Except these wizards give you actually useful option like where you want your software installed or select what components you want.I'm sorry such things are too complex for your underdeveloped itoddler brain. >manually dodging sketchy third party installationsThat hasn't been a thing on over 10 years unless you're installing some really dodgy shit.
>>108984082Oh so you use a grand total of 5 cli apps?
>>108986295>MacOS users are computer literateLol. Lmao. Mactards can't even understand the concept of a file path because even that is obfuscated by their retarded OS. The only thing they know how to do on a computer is use a web browser and upload thier photos to icloud (that they pay for like good paypigs)
>>108983748You can cope how you like but the way Mac handles applications and puts them in their own cuckshed is far superior to how Windoes does it.
>>108986439>how Windoes does itYou mean letting you choose where you want your application installed instead of putting it in some hidden inaccessible mystery folder? You macfags are the biggest slaves ever.
>>108986296What control?
>>108986465>hidden inaccessible mystery folderyou mean the applications folder? kek, windows is the one that letps apps put shit wherever they fuck they want even scattered across multiple random folders for no good reason
>>108986365>give you actually useful option like where you want your software installedNo need. By default, macos doesn't spread dozens of files and folders and plugins and configs all over your PC, everything is neatly organized inside the container that you "drag to install" that one time. You can drag it wherever you like, that's going to be the installation folder.Individual software can still decide to rely on a more traditional setup wizard, or even save stuff outside of the container to provide continuity with the same software on different systems.
>>108986465ah yes, the hidden inaccessible mystery folder, also known as %APPDATA%.at least macos has the application folder visible accessible from the finder but you wouldn't know because you've never actually used that os.
>>108983748it's just asking you to move it to the applications folder
>>108986493So what happens when you run out of space on your Applications drive? Oh wait, you can't even upgrade storage space on Macs. >windows is the one that letps apps put shit wherever they fuck they want even scattered across multiple random folders for no good reasonOn you mean just like on a mac os? At least many windows apps will not touch any other dir than the one you've installed it in- it's completely up to the dev. Mac os literally forces an app to be spread in a gazillion dirs>~/Applications>~/Library/Preferences>~/Library/Application Support>~/Library/Caches>~/Library/Saved Application State>~/Library/LogsYeah, so much nicer and more neat than windows, right? >>108986496>you can drag it wherever you like, that's going to be the installation folder.Where? There's literally only one option.
>>108986563>Yeah, so much nicer and more neat than windows, right?Yeah, actually but I guess its a matter of opinion
>>108986513%APPDATA% is instantly accessible the moment you type it in explorer. On a mac you have to run 10 different commands just to be able to get to those forbidden parts that crapple doesn't want you to touch on your "own" device. And you can never even have root access. I know this because I've had to work on a macshit for 4 years at 2 different jobs (tho on one of them I was only using it to run a Linux VM to do my work because of how useless macos is), so I am fully aware that you're lying and trying to spread bullshit.
>>108986343>It's not like you have the choice where to install the appYou can drag it anywhere
>>108986465>>108986563>letting you choose where you want your application installedThat's what macos does, you can drag it everywhere. It is your to decide. >instead of putting it in some hidden inaccessible mystery folder?And that's what Windows does. Maybe I remember where I installed the software itself, but where are all of its files and configs and so on?Maybe inside the folder in Program files/common. Maybe it's the x86 version of the directory. Maybe it's in Documents. Maybe it's Program Data.Maybe it's in Appdata/roaming, or maybe it's Appdata/local: they're both "hidden inaccessible mystery folder" according to 99% of users. Maybe it's in local/programs? Or some other esoteric location?Who the fuck knows. Even the software itself often doesn't know and can't/won't explicitly point it out.
>>108986709itoddlers truly are retarded
>>108986655>You can drag it anywhereBut there's only one place to drag it.
>>108986722I mean you can drag it from that window outside of the window
>>108986716Are you the same mouthbreather that keeps saying there's "only one place to drag it" on Mac, while you can install the software in literally every single directory?
>>108986599>On a mac you have to run 10 different commands just to be able to get to those forbidden parts What? Windows literally hides it. Macos doesn't. What the fuck are you talking about
>>108986709In windows, you usually have AT MOST some non-important cache files in appdata- the rest is wherever you installed it which can easily checked in the Properties tab of the shortcut. 90% of the times the app is completely self-contained in the folder you installed it.The whole thing with apps on windows getting installed in mystery folders under C: without any prompt is just another example tranny devs following some retarded crapple trend that boomers and morons like yourself somehow consider more "convenient"
>>108986759macos literally prevents you from accessing these dirs, even from the terminal. God forbid you want to access / There is nothing inaccessible in windows
>>108986765>The whole thing with apps on windows getting installed in mystery folders under C: without any prompt is just another example tranny devs following some retarded crapple trendBut the "apple trend" is literally self-contained software, all stored in a single "software" folderIt's precisely the opposite of the issue
>>108986742>can drag it from that window outside of the windowThere is absolutely nothing is that faggot UI/UX design that lets users know that. Not to mention that the fast majority of apps will simply not work unless they're in Applications (or basically force you to be moved there).
>>108986799The apple trend is clearly spreading a single app into as many hidden dirs as possible and not letting the user know where the fuck anything is. I still remember spending hours on one of my older jobs trying to find where the hell the cache for intellij is because as it turns out "uninstalling" software on mac os doesn't actually delete anything aside from some binaries and leaves a shitton of garbage on your system. I am so fucking glad I don't have to touch that piece of shit operating system for any reason anymore.
>>108986783But that's wrongYou can click "go to", type the folder name and access every folder in macos. You have to enable hidden folders on both systems. Why lying
>>108986371ackshually, 8.
>>108986822>There is absolutely nothing is that faggot UI/UX design that lets users know that. No need to, they're not as retarded as you >the fast majority of apps will simply not work unless they're in ApplicationsWrong
>>108986850>The apple trend is clearly spreading a single app into as many hidden dirs as possible and not letting the user know where the fuck anything isNo that's windows >>108986709Apple literally just puts everything inside a single container, inside a single folder
>>108986599~/Library is instantly accessible the moment you type it in Finder>On a mac you have to run 10 different commandsright click > show Library folderwow so hard
>>108983748toddlers love shitting themselves for humiliation purposes.
>>108986969>no u>presents a completely false statement, already proven so ITT Whatever you say, apple paypig.
I boughted a white MacBook once, that was like 15 years ago, I think. First time I see this shit, I'm like wot? Are they serious? After a year of using it, I just installed Ubuntu on it.
>>108987017Clearly you've never used a computer before for anything other that web browsing and consooming media.
>>108987049you've never used macOS
>>108987042Wrong
>>108986783>macos literally prevents you from accessing these dirs, even from the terminal. No It doesn't
>>108986249I'm more https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/10/html/installing_identity_management/index guy
>>108986563>On you mean just like on a mac os? Nope, I meant specificallyike it almost always happens on windows. >much nicer and more neat than windows, right? Actually yeahEven the very few example of software that spread shit out of its container does so inside the library folderCan't say the same about windows
>>108987086This looks like a low effort Linux DE (with no Wayland support) rather than a premium proprietary product from a big company
>>108986365>these wizards give you actually useful option like where you want your software installed Strictly speaking, the .app file is a folder with everything needed to run the application in it, and the folder icon below it is just a shortcut to /Applications. If you want, when you mount the .dmg, you can open up a Finder window and drag and drop the .app folder to somewhere other than /Applications.>select what components you wantIf you want a complex installer, MacOS has the .pkg file format, allowing a more traditional customizable installer. Most applications don't have removable features though. You have a binary, some libraries, and some assets in a folder.Fuck's sake, I don't even use MacOS. I'm typing this on an Ubuntu laptop right now. But the system's fine. If I find myself distributing applications to end users, it's not going to have an installer. It's going to be a single .elf file statically linked with all assets compiled in.
>>108983748We have that on Linux now!
>>108987673It's better than iToddlerOS retardation since you can configure each app, add github link so it can auto-update applications.
This shit was so retarded I stopped using MacOS right there and then.How anyone beyond the age of 3 can use this is beyond me
