    I actually like Linux, but I’m considering just blocking all the Linux communities because it’s so incredibly boring to just see you guys circle jerking all day long. We get it. We all get it.

        I came here hoping to see gnome and X11 memes. You know, actual Linux memes.

        Instead I found “Windows bad” circlejerking.

          Since you are the main character of Lemmy, which Stallman meme shall we post for the millionth time? Perhaps we shall post about how it’s stupid in 2023 to be using a macrokerenel architecture and that Linux is obsolete?

              Ah yes, this is literally the first time I visit Lemmy today after uni and the first post I see on All and that I interact with in more than a week but I am the one that has to go outside, not the person that apparently spends all day on Lemmy, so much so that is tired of seeing Linux memes on its feed. Have a nice day as well, and I truly mean it.

      Why we don’t have any server side memes yet, probably there is some non-windows meme material there.

      “So regarding these security vulnerabilities… We see that RHEL 5 is no longer supported, so what is your plan to get support…” So basically you’re telling me you walked into a giant ravine without ever realising it for almost a decade and now you ask me if you could get some support to assemble your now tiny fragments back into working order?

            They encourage creation. Trademarks are different. In order to do so properly, they should be far more limited.

            Right now the forever copyright means no one can remix sixty year old stories

            Right now patents are issued for trivial IT “inventions” which stifle competing products.

            Trademarks are fine. They are intended to protect you from misleading products. They let Apple sue people that sell stuff which might mislead you into thinking it’s an apple product.

            Of course trademarks are also abused, for example Apple uses trademarks to prevent recycling iPhone parts. That couple be fixed.

        I had to use MacOS for 2 years after using Windows for 20. The copious amounts of energy suddenly releasing when thousands of dying stars start to explode in unison can’t compare to the deep, burning hate I feel for MacOS.

        But I know there are people who like or love it. No problem with that. It’s just a personal feeling.

          Lol you tile your desktop as much as your kitchen floor? I only tend to need to have three things up at most so Mac optimizes my screen space the best since I have 2 monitors, but I’m not on on the multitasking level of many people here it seems

          *I think mac os started supporting tiling of non full screen windows as well according to some other comments so maybe kitchen style would work now

    For whatever reasony work tools on Linux aren’t working right now, so I am using win10 for the moment.

    The start menu is a fucking nightmare. I don’t care about what’s on the internet when I am looking for my software. This isn’t a mobile phone.

    What’s even worse is that I know what the name of my software is. But half the time, when I use the start menu, the web results and ads load first and it takes a while to show my software, if it ever shows up at all.

      I highly recommend Powertoys Run (powered by Wox) with the Everything plugin. It brings a Spotlight-like search with lightning fast search and many features like calculator, running commands and others. I almost never use the start menu nowadays. And all of this is available through Chocolatey.

      Also there’s plenty other nifty tools you get as a part of Powertoys (I couldn’t live without Fancy Zones).

      Maybe it’s just my age, but I use File Explorer to find things on my PC.

      But Windows loves to not show you things, and the main folder(C:) just seems to get worse and more cluttered with folders with a name like: 4783DDBMJUD84WWIOT.

        Well, the thing is that the start menu used to be useful. So the habit is there. Even in Linux, this is the same.

          Even when Win95 came out, I was so used to 3.1 navigation and the MSDOS prompt, the Start menu just never had any appeal to me.

        Let’s not live in the past. Just disable internet searching from the start menu.

        I agree, it shouldn’t have been built in and on by default and it should be easier to disable.

        Personally I think Win10 start was peak Windows start because it was the most customizable.

        The main two things I like about start menus is that it keeps all your apps out of the way, and in some resemblence of organizatoin, instead of just barfing them all out in one big cluttered mess, which is part of what turns me away from Apple, or Gnome. However, they’re not as easy to use on touchscreens. That said, ads deeply nerf this advantage.

          I use search for any given app (start menu or not) so it’s all a cluttered mess as it filters down but the larger icon makes finding things faster

      You shouldn’t stick with 10 past the end of security updates (2025)

      Go to 11 if you want to stick with Windows or go to Linux/Mac if you want to be ad free.

      And you can hack the ads out of 11 but you won’t get Microsoft to stop unless you threaten their market share

      When I got a macbook from work I was honestly choked at how awful things were.

      Even the simplest of tasks required googling. It was so very unintuitive.

      Even to this day, I totally avoid using it.

            That’s… exactly what you do. macOS software is usually distributed in DMG files (compressed disk images). You download the DMG, open it (with a double click in Finder), then drag and drop the APP file to your Applications folder (or wherever else you want it to be).

            Speaking of APP files, the structure of macOS apps is vastly superior to that of Windows, imo. Linux generally has them both beat, but there’s some additional complexity there.

              I have to agree with the other person actually. The drag and drop thing is kind of weird. They ought to just automate it.

              Other than that I think Mac is fairly easy to use, and more customizable than people realize.

              I do wish they had better window management though. GNOME and Windows both make window snapping so much easier than Mac. And the support for third party hardware on Mac is pretty bad.

                The drag and drop thing is because it’s an app file. “Installation” is just putting the file in your application folder, or wherever you want it. Apps are (usually) just files, unlike on windows, so you don’t need to go through a complicated installation process, just put them where you want them (usually the applications folder).

                The window snapping thing is annoying (but it’s not apple’s fault, Microsoft has a patent on it lol). There’s a bunch of free apps that add window snapping though 🤷‍♀️

        An aside, You can make KDE feel like that, but youd know every hairbrain behavor because you did it yourself.

        Yeah, MacOS has way more bugs than Windows 10. It’s kind of hard to believe that it has been this bad for the past several years. They keep pushing features, but they need a 1-2 year pause on features to fix the existing features they have.

        Windows is far more customizable by comparison. Still nothing next to Linux but trying to put them on the same field at least in an enterprise environment is ludicrous.

    I don’t agree with the Mac one.

    The Mac UI is basically windows 3.1.

    It’s absolutely awful.

    Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that’s it. You can’t open anything, you can’t delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

    It’s so fucking bad.
