I never used a mac until my current job starting three years ago. I don’t think I could go back to random problems requiring me to reinstall driver or futz around with registry keys (never mind recompile the kernel). I have better things to do with my time at this point in my life.
- smoldesu 5y agoI feel like I spend more time making MacOS like Linux than I do making Linux like MacOS. Certainly wastes plenty of company time, but my boss doesn't need to know that :)
- eertami 5y agoAnecdotal counterpoint, but as someone who had to use a MBP for work, OSX has given me way more random problems. Installing a system update on an MBP still gives me anxiety and I would avoid it for as long as possible, since I never managed to do one without _something_ inexplicably breaking.
- bradleyjg 5y agoI have had my MacBook break but it was just broken at that point. I returned it to IT and got another one. The fact that I couldn’t do anything (or at least that was my perception) is a relief.
- Zitrax 5y agoSame here, got a MBP from my work 2 years ago. I have had more issues with it than other non mac laptops in the past, both OS and hardware issues. Battery expanding, display issues, system processes using 100% cpu until I reboot as some examples.
