soo uhm my dad is almost 80 and he absolutely LOOOVES his pictures
he has thousands from various trips, holidays and all that stuff.
He learned how to use Picasa 3 and organizes all of them with a dedication you NEETs wish to have.
Hes a wintoddler though.
How can i convince him that using macOS would fit him way better cause it just werks.
Yeah i know its macOS but tbqh hes the perfect candidate because he also wants to go into video editing and macOS is just so damn simple for all his multi media needs.
There is no way he could ever become a Linux User i guess.
Is windows causing him problems? My dad is 60 and hates change. At all. Trying to learn a new OS will probably be worse even if a mac is "better."
Jackson Campbell
windows is just overcomplicating everything
im not sure if he'd hate changes but for example here is one of the things he'd like to do:
>open folder A , B , C >open folder D
drag pictures from A,B,C and put them into D and he thinks they will automatically sort themselves in the way he drags them in.
i remind him that windows sorts them based on various data points and that all his efforts can be gone with a click of a button.
The way hes trying to do it and thinks is pretty logical but Windows is a shit.

MacOS is shit though. It's trying too hard to be different from Windows and as a result is broken in more ways than windows.
Let him use what he already knows, you'll only make it even more complicated by forcing him to learn an even worse OS than windows.
Julian Carter
yes but don't force him, macOS is the goat old person system.

few months of work in IT support quickly taught me that even though I may think something is better, if user is happy with what he has, DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH IT.

Why would you want your father to convert to a shit OS where he can lose all his pictures just from moving them around?
Merge two folders with the same name If you have two folders with identical names at two different locations, you can merge them into a single folder.
Press and hold the Option key, then drag one folder to the location that contains a folder with the same name. In the dialog that appears, click Merge.
The Merge option appears only if one of the folders contains items that are not in the other folder. If the folders contain different versions of identically named files, the only options are Stop or Replace.
To organize your files automatically, use Smart Folders. Smart Folders automatically gather files by type and subject matter, and are instantly updated as you change, add, and remove files on your Mac.
Owen Carter
You have to hold the option key to merge when copying?
Windows doesn't suffer from this bullshit, it just works.
Jonathan Perez
Why don't you fucking ask him. Take him to a store and let him check the OS.
If he doesn't want it, let him fiddle with wangblows
Easton Roberts
How would this problem be resolved by changing to a Mac?
Chase Powell
I Hope you Backup his stuff, if He loses it, He will die being a broken sad man
Zachary Peterson
yes i constantly back it all up
im aware that this data loss would kill him pretty much instantly
Hunter Davis
>my dad is almost 80 How fucking old are you and why are you posting here?
Michael Thomas
I'm confused. Why does he need to switch to Mac? Windows sounds like it's working for him.
Charles Nguyen
Glad to hear that
Eli Anderson
Install gentoo for him.. HFS+ will fuck him in the ass and all pics will be gone
Andrew Sanders
>le sekrit club for cool kids
Owen Green
Get him a adobe photographers plan for a year. Lightroom is best. Just set up a directory mirror for the catalog to a another drive if he doesn't have a backup system

>80 y/o >wintoddler/mactoddler Ugh...
Anyway, just gift him a MacBook and teach him how to use it, when he get used probably will love it (or hate it).
