  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • 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.

    There are plenty of developers who use macs for work, me included. I mainly go with Mac for the build quality/battery life/performance though and also because my work pays for it so I don't need to worry about the exorbitant price. I would agree that MacOS is pretty janky at times and it requires a few third party apps to be reasonable usable.

    But I'm not really sure what you mean by useful bits? I don't feel like I'm really restricted in MacOS. If there isn't a UI element for something, you can probably adjust it in a terminal.

    So if I understand you correctly, it’s more about the hardware and not the software that’s appealing to you?

    Generally, yes. I like MacOS more than windows because it's at least *nix.

    But to be honest I have no strong opinions on OS when it comes to work. I've used windows*/Linux/MacOS and none have stood out as far superior to get my work done faster or more efficiently.

    I use MacOS with my Mac because that's what's installed out of the box.

    The main things that seem to hold me back from working efficiently are programs that are required by the company to maintain their ISO accreditation like Microsoft "intune" or what ever it's called.

    *Only when required.
