It's possible to appreciate certain aspects of a product and still dislike the product as a whole. I appreciate how relatively easy it is to understand Windows' directory structure (for example) but that doesn't mean I want to use the whole OS on my own time.
- rightbyte 5y agoYe, I dislike the Unixy way of mounting hard drives where ever. There is some mental calmness of having the root of the HD at a drive letter in "My Computer" ...
- TimeBearingDown 5y agoLinux disk management tools were my gateway drug. diskpart and diskmgmt.msc are fine, but gparted does nearly anything feasible, it’s indispensable. Then you just run ‘mount’ and ‘df -h’ a lot and in the end that’s similar to ‘net use’ on Windows + My Computer wrapped into one. “Everything is a file” is a useful paradigm, and then just think of your disk as an image file in a fixed spot. Sorry if this winds up a ramble or you’re well aware.
- pdpi 5y agoSure, but there is a difference between "I don't like this" and "this is crap". I can 100% see how macOS might rub people the wrong way, and there are definitely some dubious choices in there from a purely technical point of view, but that doesn't really amount to "crap overall".
