I've had almost the exact same experience. I am a prior OpenBSD desktop user, I thinking started around 2.6 or 2.8. I went to OSX 10.2 on iBook and have used it faithfully for years. I have the same feelings about the OSX feature bloat post 10.6. It's doing too many things I don't want and restricting my ability to change things I don't like. I've honestly felt they are trying to make OSX into iOS for a while.
I've been mulling the switch for a while now myself. I've contemplated Ubuntu but have sone reservations there. This post was great, anyone have insight on migrating iTunes or iPhoto to something that works on BSD or Linux? Or any insight on syncing iPhone to BSD or Linux?
- jansc 11y agoYesterday, I spent some hours exporting my roughly 45.000 photos in my iPhoto library to a folder structure sorted by year and event. The tool I used is called Phoshare (https://code.google.com/p/phoshare/ https://code.google.com/p/phoshare/). The site says its no longer supported, but even with the latest OSX and iPhoto versions it seems to do the trick. I was able to convert faces to exif meta tags containing the persons name. Otherwise I did not have a lot of metadata in iPhoto. Now I'm heading over to digiKam or maybe some other tool outside the walled garden. For my iTunes library, I first used beets (http://beets.radbox.org/ http://beets.radbox.org/) to fix the metadata of my music files, and now cmus (https://cmus.github.io/ https://cmus.github.io/) as a music player. As an alternative music player I'm considering EMMS (https://www.gnu.org/software/emms/ https://www.gnu.org/software/emms/). I don't know about alternatives to iPhone syncing. My iPhone died last week, and I'm waiting for my Fairphone to arrive in a couple of weeks.
