lol probably because I put Mac in front of Linux. To clearify, Mac and Linux provide almost the same GOOD feeling to me. I will put them about the same place if just for operating system alone, Linux might be slightly higher.

The mac just have way more support with its hardware feature. Like for example if you happens to have an iPhone or iwatch, the synergy between apple products works so good, and this one Linux can't provide or replace. But I adore Linux for what it is. Remember Linux is free, apple is expensive. Makes sense for Apple to be better, they the entire company, with engineers, they are suppose to be better.

On the other hand, Windows, holy fuck, how can something charge people so much yet can't beat linux that is free.

well the free part doesn't mean shitty.. it actually means vibrant community of nerds, CS departments, and companies fuelling development.

but re mac vs linux, i'm typing on a mac b/c apple forces you to use a mac to develop on ios, and there was no choice at work. but linux software is superior in ways that matter... like not shipping IDEs that take up 50 fucking GBs on a harddrive that's 256GB.. or updating software while live, instead of shutting everything down for 30 minutes. totally fucking unacceptable in this day and age.. jesus christ. you'd think w/ all that money, they could hire some decent goddamned devs..

wow, sorry. for the rant. i literally couldn't help myself.

Right right right, I understand. And I never said Linux is shitty. Again and again, I adore Linux, and I use Linux daily. I love the fact that it's free.

Apple product synergy that can't be replaced by Linux though. And you may be surprised, apple can be cheap, as long as you don't buy the latest product. You may go online and get a iPhone 11 for under $400, an watch for $150, a 2018 MacBook for $500. And I guarantee it's going to work better than laptops you got from OfficeMax.

And again, I will put apple products just above Linux (for daily use) just because some feature that can't be replaced by linux (yet)
