I buy Macs because they work fine and I can afford them and I spent far too many years of my life dicking around with Linux on the desktop when it clearly belongs in the datacenter.
I don't use Windows because it isn't Unix, not even if you use Cygwin and squint and tilt your head sideways.
- rbanffy 17y agoIf you spent too many years dicking around with Linux you have been doing it the wrong way.
- octane 17y ago> you have been doing it the wrong way. You ever stand behind a door because you were afraid the modelines in your XFree86 config file were going to blow up your monitor? Uphill both ways in the snow, etc.
- rbanffy 17y agoThere was no easy to use Unix in '96
- octane 17y agoThere still isn't. Unix is hard.
- rbanffy 17y agoNo it's not. My 13-yo son uses a Linux-based phone, my wife uses a Mac and my mother uses Ubuntu. It's fair to say neither of them uses the terminal for anything (wife did sudo shutdown her Macbook when it refused to do it from the Apple menu), but Unix is not about terminals - it's an operating system ideal.
