Apple makes the only usable laptop OS these days (now that Windows 7 gave way to iOWondows)
- cozzyd 12y agoWhat's wrong with Linux on a properly supported laptop? (OS X also sucks on improperly supported laptops... much worse than Linux, in fact). I find GNOME 3, in particular, much more productive on a laptop than OS X.
- acchow 12y agoI have a number of friends who swore by linux but then never looked back once they got macbooks. Also, Linus Torvalds uses OS X on his macbook air.
- vacri 12y agoI work with one person who went linux -> OSX and two that went OSX -> linux. All seem very happy. It's almost like OSX isn't the One True OS, and that different people have different preferences.
- cozzyd 12y agoI don't doubt your anectodes, but the idea that Linus uses OS X on his macbook air is hilarious (according to what he's said, he's a Fedora user, and has retired his MBA in favor of a Pixel).
- vacri 12y agoThat's something you're projecting onto me - I put in the line "Horses for courses, there is no One True OS" specifically to avoid that. Edit: I also disagree with the comment that OSX is the only usable laptop OS. Linux does require more maintenance overhead, but it's perfectly usable. At my last workplace there were plenty of people complaining about their OSX laptops, both in terms of various problems, and also that their older machines were slowing to the point of uselessness. Like I said, horses for courses.
- jmccree 12y agoI went from OSX to Ubuntu a few years back and it's been the most overall enjoyable and productive desktop/laptop OS experience I've had.
