you either go back to windows, or turn into this guy. There is no 3rd option.

Unfortunately, MacOS is far more popular than it should be.

I deliberately said Windows instead of Mac, because all the apple users I know are the type of people who will never, ever try linux in the first place.

As someone who's been a fan of Free Software since I first heard of it in the late '90s, I used and recommended Macs in the early 2000s because (at time, at least) Apple was leaning into the Unix-nature and BSD underpinnings of the thing and coming out with stuff like XServe and Automator.

Not so much these days, though. Apple's pivot in ideology towards locked-down consumer crap like iOS and the App Store -- even going so far as to ditch bash for zsh just because they hated GPLv3 -- ruined it.

Yeah, that makes sense.

At least it follows Unix conventions so it’s real computing

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
