every time i use osx i fucking start cursing due to how god forsaken slow it is. apple even managed to make it so slow I notice it when helping my coworkers debug their code.
- robertwt7 5y agoHonestly it is not slow at all for me, what're you using it for? With the exception of gaming, productivity, development, and usage has been great for me. The build quality of macbook is more sturdy than its competitors like xps, thinkpad, makes me so confident and comfortable to bring it everywhere with me honestly.
- jatone 5y agodo a `rm -rf ./* && git checkout -- .` on a git repo. then do the same thing on a linux box, we're not talking a few milliseconds difference. even our small repos take minute or more for macosx vs linux. this impacts shit like indexing code bases, spinning up the local server etc.
- EvilEy3 5y agoIt is only slow if you compare it to some obscure i3 linux thingy. Out of all major desktop players, Mac OS is the most performant.
- jensensbutton 5y agoHard disagree. Comparing over the past year with my Linux box, windows laptop, and Chromebook macOS is clearly the worst performing.
- jatone 5y agothis is easily and demonstrably false. I use gnome-shell, generally the whipping boy of the linux DMs. the problem isn't with the UI frameworks its with the filesystem. macosx chokes hard compared to linux and any filesystem access suffers from it. download a medium sized javascript git repo with node_modules `rm -rf node_modules && git checkout -- .` my shittier linux laptop crushes my macosx laptop.
