It is shite to bully TempleOS's creator.

But it doesn't surprise me.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

I took it as a lighthearted jab at the user of the OS, not as an insult at the creator of the OS. I have mad respect to Terry.

Too true. MacOS is the one place you can get a UNIX toolchain in a stable environment. If something works on my Mac, it works on my coworker’s Mac. If something works on Ubuntu but you’re using Nix… Uh, YMMV.

I love Linux, but if you’re gonna use it as a desktop OS, you pretty much accept that you now have a part-time job keeping up on Linux news to deal with the fact that each component of your system is in a perpetual state of “deprecated support for The Old Way, and experimental support for The New Way”.

it's a part time job only if you make it one That's why so many people also like Linux, you can find both simplicity and customisability and pick between each

Our Mac colleague is literally the only one in the dev team having constant troubles, constantly spinning up VMs to get stuff working.

Yeah, if you have a mixed dev team then I’m sure the odd ones out are gonna have the most trouble.

My point was more that if you have a team of all Macs or a team of all Linux, I’m much more confident in stuff working on everyone’s machine in the Mac scenario.

Even if you stretch it to “the Mac users get to customize the hell out of their machines, and the Linux users only do the minimum to get a fully functional dev environment”, I think the Macs end up in a more consistent state.

Every Flatpak, Snap, and AppImage works on every Linux system I’ve tried.

I tried to be unbiased, but failed. Apple and Linux should be switched.

I don't know about macOS, but from experience, neither Linux nor Windows are actually "just works". Although it will depend on distro, I definitely have different experience on Arch and Manjaro than say Mint users. Mint worked for me well, although older dependencies have also killed "just works" a few times.

  • Do you like to throw money at your problems and more money when you're told: 🍎

  • Do you have a nonconsensual submissive kink with a love for sadistic roughly forced updates destroying what you were working on and ads shoved deep up your home directory: 🪟

  • Do you like free stuff and can RTFM: 🐧

I love how controversial this one is.

Well if your definition of "working" is "can run all the important programs and game" then anything thats not windows or linux wont work.

Working computer - >Mac

Should have been:

Do you have more money than brains?->Mac

Or

Fuck this, I'm doing this for shit and giggles. ->Mac

Man, this guy's wiki background ends on a banger.
