I haven't switched, from Linux to Mac in the sense that all of my personal computers are Linux. But I did switch from Windows to Mac at my $DAYJOB, so I have a lot of experience using both Linux and Mac, and in the same day no less. I've been using the Mac for around 2 years now I guess.
My take? I'd scrap Mac OS X and put Linux on that Macbook in a heartbeat if it were allowed by company policy. I can't find a single thing that OS X does bette than Linux, and there are plenty of things that it doesn't do as well (by my personal standards). And that's before even getting into the ideological aspect, and the fact that I fundamentally hate Apple and their entire "walled garden, locked down, proprietary bullshit" world-view.
The Mac hardware is nice, no doubt. But for my money, give me Linux any day of the week.
- rcarmo 4y agoI’ve been using UNIX (actual UNIX) and MacOS since before it got a BSD userland (so you can add one zero and 10 more years to your two) and it’s actually fun to see this kind of opinion, because it’s so biased to the point of ignoring all the actual shared history that macOS has. Relax. Touch grass. Figure out why it is that way. You may not like it all the same, but you’ll be able to understand why it’s that way.
