I know Sup Forums, you fucking warned me, but I needed it for xCode and Premiere so I gave it a try.
Don't. Please.
It's not worth the hassle.
It's well designed, I'll admit that, but it fails on some fundamental things: so far I've found:
>lack of ntfs support, you can only read ntfs disks and that's it. Oh but there is an app for that, and it's only 45.99$ on the App Store.
>lack of .doc readers, but there's an app for that with in-app purchases.
>lack of mkv/h265/HEVC support in the native player.
>lack of Flac audio support in the standard player.
>lots of useless gimmicks shown by default on the dock.(i.e. FaceTime, Memos, Notes, etc.)
>absolutely no customisation.
Everyone of these problems needed at least half an hour of downtime, interrupting any work, not even counting hackintosh's own problems like audio, video drivers and booting in the first place.
It really is an OS for people who prioritize looks on functionality, have a lot of money to burn in app purchases and don't mind losing time solving basic things.
Just install your distro of choice, you won't lose anything important.
MacOS is a fucking toddler OS

Hows font rendering on your 1080p monitor is it 27"? Audio didnt work well and my mac and font looked shit on 1080p "27 monitor for me
both 21" and looks ok to me I guess.

>meme flavor of month waifu as your icon
I may be playing the retarded side of this discussion, but why is it marketed as an easy to use os when it's so difficult to get it working right and a lot of things are missing?
Even Windows has an integrated solution to all these problem albeit shitty.
>> Apple's OS not having support for non-apple file system. Why would they do this to you?!
freebsd or whateer based cant be extended to new use cases
cool!
it actually has support for ntfs.
You can mount disks in read-only mode.
Pages supports .doc and .docx
Becasue the average MacOs user is the is a tech inpaired that doesn't know what a file system is and uses the computer only for web browsing.
For that, macOS is better than Windows and Linux, because you can't get wrong clicking on the chrome icon on your dock.
Try to think like apple / any other company that makes money:
- Why would you use ntfs / flac / ms-office when there is apfs, hfs+, other crap / alac / iWork?
They could provide you with all that but why bother? What's in it for them?
It is an easy to use os, but you need to use their shit.
What I said above.
Also, the only systems that have out-of-the-box support for everything are the ones made by the community
>I needed it for xCode and Premiere
>Just install your distro of choice
How would that solve your problem?
>lack of .doc readers
There is native Microsoft Office for macOS. There is no alternative if you have a real job and need dependable compatibility and functionality
>absolutely no customisation
Compared to what? It's pretty much comparable to Windows, which is again your only other choice if you're an Office and Adobe-using productive member of society. I guess if you spend more time ricing than working this could be a problem
>lack of ntfs support
An actual real issue. Amazing
>I had to install VLC
>I had to remove some applications from my dock
>Everyone of these problems needed at least half an hour of downtime
Does Windows read HFS+? APFS? EXT3? EXT4? No?
Apple atleast reads NTFS, not Apples fault Microsofts not being open with the NTFS specs.
>It really is an OS for people who prioritize looks on functionality
But it looks like shit
>lack of .doc readers
OP is retarded. Pages is $0.00 and has no addons.
> >absolutely no customisation.
> Everyone of these problems needed at least half an hour of downtime, interrupting any work
I can't change my window border! Damn! Work can wait, now what should I do...
>lack of ntfs support, you can only read ntfs disks and that's it. Oh but there is an app for that, and it's only 45.99$ on the App Store.
At least you can read NTFS. It's a proprietary file system from Microsoft, are you really surprised? Just install NTFS-3G for open source write support
>lack of .doc readers, but there's an app for that with in-app purchases.
Lies. See attached image.
>lack of mkv/h265/HEVC support in the native player.
High Sierra.
>lack of Flac audio support in the standard player.
High Sierra, works in Quicktime.
>lots of useless gimmicks shown by default on the dock.(i.e. FaceTime, Memos, Notes, etc.)
Like say... Windows 10 and tens of shitty apps nailed to Start, including actual ads?
>absolutely no customisation.
Who cares?
Soo.... all lies? nice.
so the only issue with the OS is that you can't rice it and you are forced to actually do something productive with it? because there's ntfs-3g for ntfs support, there are cracked office versions if you are a poorfag, there is VLC if you are an uncultured faggotd or mpv if you are an enlightened ricing faggot, same thing for flac and finally you can just remove the gimmicks from the dock if they hurt your eyes. you just like to complain, that's it
>lack of ntfs support
pirate tuxera
>lack of .doc readers
LibreOffice
>lack of mkv/h265/HEVC support in the native player
VLC, IINA. Does the W10 player even support HEVC?
>lack of Flac audio support in the standard player
You could convert it to ALAC without losing quality (and being able to still play it on most music players), use Cog or any other media player
>lots of useless gimmicks shown by default on the dock
You could, you know, unpin them? Like what you do with Windows 10 and Candy Crush / Minecraft / Solitaire / Skype / Spotify and all that shit that gets installed by default and pinned on the start menu?
>Absolutely no customization
Well you got me there, although there are definitely some applications to display whatever the fuck you please on the top panel
Seriously, you keep asking for shit that's supposed to be supported only on Windows. I could complain that I don't have Pages on Windows. Or IINA. Or that I can't have decent font rendering on Windows, or the file manager not having things from Finder. But it's Windows, I'm not supposed to install Windows to use mac software.
Also a lot of CLI software that you would use on linux is available on homebrew. You can have your mpd and whatever the fuck you kids use. You just don't bother to look around.

OP IS A FAGGOT
she a cute : ^ )
Ntfs is the worst file system. It couldn't even transfer more than 8gb until x64. But wincucks saying any other os is bad is a joke.
>lack of ntfs support, you can only read ntfs disks and that's it. Oh but there is an app for that, and it's only 45.99$ on the App Store.
pirate it you retard

holy shit mate learn to google

same as windows
>lack of Flac audio support in the standard player.
see above
>lots of useless gimmicks shown by default on the dock.(i.e. FaceTime, Memos, Notes, etc.)
oh gee there are things on the dock I don't use! wasted 15 seconds removing them omg 0/10 shit os amiright?
>absolutely no customisation.
As much as in any unix os, what the flying fuck are you talking about
Holy shit you're beyond mental retardation
This thread is clear proof that many of the people out there who shit on macOS are absolute babies who need handholding to use a computer.
>OP posts completely valid complaints
>macshills dance around the issue in tears
Thanks OP.
Stop spreading the bullshit idea that Macs have the same version of office. THEY FUCKING DONT. they have ginoed piece of shit designed for iToddlers and it's missing tons of features you get on windows

When most of the same apply to other operating systems, he could have complained about something more macos specific
>lack of ntfs support, you can only read ntfs disks and that's it. Oh but there is an app for that, and it's only 45.99$ on the App Store.
You can install ntfs-3g via homebrew to get read/write support.
>lack of mkv/h265/HEVC support in the native player.
>lack of Flac audio support in the standard player.
>ever using standard players
>lots of useless gimmicks shown by default on the dock.(i.e. FaceTime, Memos, Notes, etc.)
Taking half an hour to fix that is pretty pathetic.
>absolutely no customisation.
If you're using it for work, why does this really matter?
>can't customize
>"well why does that matter"
EVERY
TIME
I have little reason to believe the "customization" in question is anything more than pointless ricing. Consider actually answering the question.
kjsegflsglseh
But if it is ricing, why is that not a valid point? If it's my computer, I should be able to make it look however I want. Linux does not have this problem.
You outed yourself. It's a Hackintosh so you aren't working.
>There is native Microsoft Office for macOS. There is no alternative if you have a real job and need dependable compatibility and functionality
Windows in a VM works nicely. What primitive tribesmen only run one operating system at once? OS exist to run apps. Need an application? Run that OS. Don't need any that use a particular OS? Don't run it.
You should but it's not utility, it's just jerking off and should be identified as such.
IRL if you can't become comfy with any and every OS you are a silly person. It's like only liking Whitworth open end wrenches but not liking metric or Imperial.
I guess it comes down to priorities. I use a mac for work and I couldn't care much less about being able to rice it out. It does what I need it to do.
> (You)
>You should but it's not utility, it's just jerking off and should be identified as such.
Well then you should wear sweatpants and a hoodie everyday, anything more is jerking off.
>IRL if you can't become comfy with any and every OS you are a silly person. It's like only liking Whitworth open end wrenches but not liking metric or Imperial.
I do become comfy with an OS because my OS lets me customize it very easily.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as macOS, is in fact, OS X/macOS, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, OS X plus macOS. macOS is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another proprietary component of a fully functioning OS X system made useful by the OS X corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the OS X system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of OS X which is widely used today is called “macOS”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the OS X system, developed by the Apple Project. There really is a macOS, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. macOS is normally used in combination with the OS X operating system: the whole system is basically OS X with macOS added, or OS X/macOS. The so-called macOS is really OS X/macOS.
All joking aside, OS X is BSD unix with an Apple GUI/wm over it.
>macOS is a fucking toddler OS
Talking this way makes you a child
I don't know man, I feel like you're just being retarded on a few things
>lack of mkv/h265/HEVC support in the native player.
>lack of Flac audio support in the standard player.
This is like complaining that Internet Explorer is shit: just use a better program.
>lack of .doc readers
You can get microsoft word on macOS just like Windows
>lots of useless gimmicks shown by default on the dock
meh, just remove them if you don't use them. simple
>absolutely no customisation
You have about as much customization as Windows
>lack of .doc readers
There's a program on macOS called Pages, comes pre-installed I believe, and is free on the app store otherwise. Supports .doc and .docx
Sounds like you just got a mac and don't really understand it yet. There are some differences but it's mostly just like Windows
>lack of ntfs support, you can only read ntfs disks and that's it. Oh but there is an app for that, and it's only 45.99$ on the App Store.
ntfs via fuse, free software
>lack of .doc readers, but there's an app for that with in-app purchases.
There are two builtin programs that can do that, and none have in app purchases
>lack of mkv/h265/HEVC support in the native player.
to be fair, none of the OS's do. just use mpv
>lack of Flac audio support in the standard player.
They actually got it in High Sierra.
>lots of useless gimmicks shown by default on the dock.(i.e. FaceTime, Memos, Notes, etc.)
10 seconds to drag them out
>absolutely no customisation.
Not really true, and customisation is for manchildren anyway. The things that actually matter like keyboard shortcuts are easily reconfigurable for example
And none of these things require any downtime. The only toddler is (You)
macOS works but, by gum, it is limited-feeling.
Mactoddlers will defend this.
poorfags will lie talk about shit they don't understand. here's your (You), go buy dinner for your starving kids
A mactoddler has defended this.
a poorfag has poored.
It's true.
An unexpected frustration of running Office on a Mac is for whatever fucking reason the formatting never comes out the same. Absolutely never.
Macs are alright, and I hackintosh'd from time to time, but it's really not worth it. It's easier to work in the same system you'll have to work in elsewhere, and that's usually Windows.
comparing pages or any macshit to the proper windows versions of office is like comparing pen and paper to a fucking supercomputer
if you are not a coding monkey, you will need office -> windows
if you are a coding monkey you use linux, and maybe dual boot windows
OSX, which used to be in the mid 2000's the os of choice is now made for a mass market so that every piece of shit illiterate can sync their iphone to their mac or those faggot artists who contribute nothing to society
its literally useless
the only thing i like about it is the font scaling is very nice
Almost everything the OP has posted has been demonstrated to be bullshit though
>lack of flac/mkv/h/h265/hevc in default player
Yes, I'm sure you use the default software in Windows too, you use Internet Explorer don't you?
>default dock apps
Just drag them out, problem solved
>lack of .doc readers
Complete lie. Pages is included with macOS and has full .doc and .docx support. Also, you can get MS Word or LibreWriter on macOS.
Office on mac is a joke and lacks even basic shit like pivot tables for Excel.
>using applel's shitty knockoff attempt at copying office
ohwaityou'reseriousletmelaughevenharder.gif
Macos is such a fucking joke, an entire industry was created where even an individual company like Parallels can make $100,000,000+ in a year just so you can run a real version of Office on macs.
Yeah I used to say the same shit until I actually used one. I get it, we all have this tendency to hate on things when we perceive ourselves as the underdog. Especially when we're kids and browse Sup Forums a lot. But eventually you grow up.
>Windows version of office is like a supercomputer
hahahahahahahahahahahhaahahha
Dude, the mac version of office is fine. People use it all the time outside of your little bubble. I never understood why people go out of their way to fanboy, lie, and defend corporate giants that don't give a shit about them lmao
Old OS X (before 10.9) were somewhat beatiuful... But not it is a fucking KDE meme, with the same stability issues.
Get a load of this fucking autist. If MS Office doesn't work on Mac then why are so many university students using macbooks? Why do highschools use macs in the computer lab? Why is there even a mac version of MS Office in the first place if it doesn't work?
Poorfags gonna poor I guess

Why would you give them money?
Don't reply to retarded troll. He is in it for shitposting not actual problems.
You mean NTFS?
All joking aside, BSD hasn't been unix for decades, and OSX was made from ripping off BSD after it became not-unix.

I like how there are so many annoying animations that distract and slow you down.
Steve Jobs once likened making a computer fast to saving lives by comparing the time saved to the average lifespan. By this very logic, Apple is committing genocide.
Sorry dude, your thread is retarded. Again, you might as well just use Internet Explorer and claim that Windows doesn't let you use another browser. Or get angry because it comes preinstalled with some things you don't use.

You are obsessed with products you can't afford and those products don't affect you in any way. You need to get help before you hurt yourself.

Most of Sup Forums can’t use Windows beyond muhgames, or Linux beyond screenfetch/neofetch.
But, well, you have to be literally retarded to not be able to use a mac. It's supposed to be brainlet-proof, but as usual, the stupidity on this board continues to exceed all expectations.
