Honestly, it's easy to hate on Apple, but you start to appreciate macOS once you have to use Windows or Linux for anything serious. Yes, there is no good desktop OS, but macOS sucks the least, and by far.
- paulintrognon 6y agoI think that is just your opinion, and not objective truth. I am a happy debian user, currently forced to use macOS at my current company, and can't say I have a great time developping on a mac. As a web developper, Linux is great: native docker, native linux terminal experience... I however think this is a personnal opinoin, and I won't argue that Linux is better that macOS. If I has been a macOS user from the start I would have maybe been equally unhappy to be forced to use Linux. What i'm trying to say is, we are all different people with different tastes and priorities, and I don't think we can objectivly say that one OS is better (or "sucks the least").
- xodice 6y agomacOS also has native Docker and native Terminal.app with a Unix tool chain just like Linux. So those two aren't great examples on their own IMO. I do however agree that it's 100% totally opinion based on ones preferred OS.
- sergiomattei 6y agoI don't disagree with your point, but macOS does not have native Docker. It runs as a hypervisor on HyperKit. It's always just been a VM on Mac, hence the constant performance issues it faces.
- xodice 6y agoTrue enough. Upvoted.
- jolux 6y agomacOS has a native BSD terminal experience, more or less. Docker is definitely slower. I like using Linux on the desktop, but I don't like maintaining it and my installations always seem to break eventually. To me, Windows is worse than Linux in every way except compatibility and stability.
