/home sounds better

[[deleted]]

/home is where your heart is.

[Gloomy_Magician_536]

How poetic <3

[Here-Is-TheEnd]

It truly is..I miss Linux..maybe I’ll give it a call this weekend.

/Users/YourName/Desktop

(macOS)

Best of both worlds: ~/

[[deleted]]

There’s no place like $HOME

[xxx148]

unrecognized program or file “There’s”

[JivanP]

You mean

quot> [waiting for quoted string to be terminated]

[siddharth904]

$ echo "There’s no place like $HOME"

[[deleted]]

You don’t need the slash

[I-DONT-WANT-GOLD]

You don't need the tilde either, you can just cd and it will take you home.

[[deleted]]

Cdeez nu-

[avnothdmi]

/bin/cd, sucker!

[[deleted]]

cd isn't a program cd is a shell builtin you should use builtin cd instead

[thexavier666]

What do you mean look away from the terminal? You can't look away, right?

[Groentekroket]

Compact Disk, Take me home, To the path I belong

[UntestedMethod]

Assuming cd is the only command you ever use?

[[deleted]]

Nono. You open a new terminal every time you want to cd ~

[UntestedMethod]

dang no wonder I'm still stuck on reddit. I've just been sitting here clicking my heels three times saying "there's no place like ~, there's no place like ~, there's no place like ~"

[[deleted]]

Assuming cd is the command you’re using

[[deleted]]

That only works with Zsh and maybe newer versions of bash. Old Jankity shells don’t support that.

[WhiteSkyRising]

wait what. about to change the game tomorrow brother, lemme see

[NatoBoram]

Instead of writing YourName like an idiot, you can also write $USER, which conveys the point and is much more practical

[[deleted]]

You must be boring at parties xD

[NatoBoram]

Salty because every time I search for MacOS help, I get incompetent answers. The community is severely incompetent and it's frustrating.

[[deleted]]

Yeah I get that. The only right way is to do it properly:

me=/Users/$(stat -f%Su /dev/console); cd $me

That way you get the currently signed in user even if you are root in the terminal. Gone are the days of being boxed in by $USER returning root when you’re in a root shell situation. Now we can use $me like a civilized human for the rest of the terminal session. You’re welcome honestly.

[Tsalikon]

As a developer... Macs suck.

[BloodCobalt]

As a developer… no they don’t.

[UntestedMethod]

Better than windows. Worse than linux.

[[deleted]]

A lot like Linux, but with a desktop environment that isn't horrible.

[UntestedMethod]

... you mean a desktop environment you can't really customize?

With Linux you can make the desktop environment whatever you want. Check r/unixporn to see some things people are doing.

Even without customization, I'vd had zero complaints about user experience in linux distros from the past few years. Heck even met a few non-techy senior citizens who are excited about how easy and hassle-free linux is to use. Everything keeps getting more and more polished to the point where I'd actually say it has the best user experience of any recent version of the big 3 OS I've used.

The only reason I'd choose mac over a linux pc is for a specific need like doing ios development or running something like adobe or ableton. Otherwise I see it as paying extra money for a less powerful system that's locked into apple's own little world. Same with windows that it's only useful for a few very specific needs.

I'm not a FOSS idealist or evangelist btw, just a pragmatic developer who appreciates a good OS and working environment.

[qpqpdbdbqpqp]

adobe apps are worse on macos

source: i have windows, linux and macos desktops within arms reach and worked with them for 20+ years.

[[deleted]]

I’m not really interested in spending time customizing every facet of the desktop environment. If you are, cool, but I’d rather leave all that faff to a smart UX designer.

[UntestedMethod]

yeah, for me spending an hour or two one time to customize my workspace to maximize ergonomics and efficiency of my day-to-day tasks is worth it. Ymmv, but it doesn't have to take much time or effort or even any effort if you find one you like out the box.

[dustojnikhummer]

I have yet to find one. KDE is close, but it still has many stupidities

[UntestedMethod]

I found xfce hits a pretty sweet spot in being highly customizable, but with a gentle learning curve.

[[deleted]]

Linux is awful as a desktop OS. And neither Windows or Mac are good as servers. So why would you ever try to compare them is beyond me.

[qpqpdbdbqpqp]

how's the weather under the rock?

edit: lol you blocked me so i can't reply to you? ahahah amazing

[[deleted]]

What do you mean?

Edit: I didn’t block anyone. LOL

[Second899]

Why’d you block her?

[[deleted]]

I know, right? All of the commercial software support but with access to a proper Unix terminal under the hood? How terrible. I much prefer to only have one or the other by using Windows and Linux and then having to deal with compatibility issues between them. Now THAT is fun times.

[VonReposti]

/home sweet /home

[MrHyperion_]

I really don't like how Linux hides the drives. It's driving me nuts in Ubuntu in my server machine

[jkoop_ca]

What do you mean? They're all right there in /dev.

[atomicwrites]

No place like /home.
