You couldn't be more wrong. I made the leap to Ubuntu 20.04 late last year and haven't regretted it. This after a quarter decade of being a Windows guy. There's a couple rough edges, but overall? I'm home.
- grishka 5y agoI've been using macOS for 10 years. Can't fathom going to anything else at this point. Especially anything that requires as much maintenance and DIY as desktop Linux does. I'm fine with running Linux on my servers though — it's robust, simple and reliable for this purpose. Besides, I simply don't like the approach Linux takes to desktop. The desktop should be part of the system, not a bunch of loose add-on components that you can mix and match and pray they work together.
- Underphil 5y agoI can appreciate your POV, but your experience is not the same as mine. DIY and maintenance is a thing of the past. At least the kind that I think you're referring to. If you buy hardware that's well supported and proven, that isn't a thing anymore. You already have to do that with MacOS, so why should Linux be any different?
- GeoAtreides 5y ago>maintenance and DIY as desktop Linux does That's what I like about my (l)ubuntu, I literally don't have to do any kind of maintenance or DIY. It just works. And it keeps working even when I don't restart my PC for months.
- larrik 5y agoSo far, I find macOS to be more maintenance and trouble than Linux. Plus if there's something I want to change in Linux, it's usually a configuration somewhere, while on macOS I need to buy an app, which is pretty frustrating.
- causi 5y agoA quarter decade? So you were a Windows guy for a couple of years?
