These new m1 macbooks are INSANE you guys.
It's runs virtual machines like its nothing and I can edit 4k video without hearing a single fan!
I'm still not an apple fan but I'm impressed
@basedbagel wtf why burn ur money on apple when windows machines are vastly more powerful ? i have never understood apple faggotry
I have 4 laptops.
1 Linux
2 windows
1 m1 macbook
The m1 macbook unlike windows has no fragmentation so it's better optimized for things like video editing
It also runs on an tricked out arm processor so you don't have to hear an airplane takeoff anytime cpu usage goes above 50%
I'm not an apple fan, they're just tools in my toolbox.
The M1 Mac is just my go to tool for video editing animation and virtual machines
Makes superficial sense, but it doesn't bear closer scrutiny.
There's nothing you can't do on Mac that someone isn't already successfully doing in linux. And most likely on actively developed FOSS, though that doesn't have to be the case.
On the flipside, PC + gaming. And since WSL2 on Windows 10/11 runs most linux distros + docker, I have found almost no reason over the last few years to fire up the iMac.
Also Mac security/privacy is a disgrace.
@UncleIroh @dander U se mac for some things because they just work better due to the better optimization.
Privacy doesn't matter to me because the MAC is only for work. But Windows 11 is just as bad if not worst when it comes t privacy IMO
I'm switching to Ubuntu because Windows keeps fucking up things that work in favor of being trendy.
Gaming on windows is superior but I don't game much these days.
I throw Windows in there because it's still the required OS for the majority of professional work. My use of Windows for at least the last decade has been strictly professional.
Personally, my daily driver for years has been linux; debian, fedora, kali and a few others - these are my goto's. Not ubuntu.
Security is better on Mac than Windows but both equally suck for privacy.
@UncleIroh @dander That's true privacy sucks on both mac and windows now.
Thanks to the patriot act and prism program expect that to only get worst.
I stayed away from linux as I thought it was too complex to be worth the switching cost.
Microsoft forced my hand with windows 11 I just couldn't do it anymore.
Funny thing is outside of a few bugs/driver issues most people could pay someone to setup linux and just use web apps and be WAY more secure than windows + antivirus
People tend to have this irrational fear of linux and it's difficulty and it's all a myth.
For years now, the installers have made things so easy it's a cakewalk. Your granny could literally use Debian/Ubuntu without ever opening up a terminal window, ever.
Simpler than Mac for normie users.
Of course, it's way more fun when you start using terminal.
@UncleIroh @dander This reminds me of a funny story.
Back when I did pc repair we had a customer come in who wanted an new OS but didn't want to pay for windows as all he did was check email and play a card game.
So my coworker installed linux mint and changed and changed some icons.
This old guy NEVER cared and continued on with no issues.
He was also WAY more secure than 99% of old people now.
I haven't quite got the terminal yet but time will tell.
The exact same. I have had people over 60 and kids under 8 using linux with zero issues.
Give kids a raspberry pi and they're happy. They can literally see everything that makes a computer work in the palm of their hand.
And once they connect it up, they can fire up the pre-installed version of minecraft and off they go.
@UncleIroh @dander
Not a fan of apple products but they have saved me MANY headaches.
Ever since I got my mom all apple products I don't get incessant calls asking me how to do things anymore.
She just figures it out intuitively.
I've accepted that normies want trendy things that work.
They HATE troubleshooting no matter how simple the issue is so for them I recommend mac/windows >linux
