I bought a old Imac at a thrift store and put XFCE on it. It was a great machine until the power supply finally gave out. I would do it again if I had the chance.
When I was studying radio production at uni back in 2010, the Adobe Audition editing suite was rammed full of 2009 iMacs, all running WinXP. It was a bit of a headfuck for a moment, but iMac hardware was second to none, the uni must have got a decent discount from Apple to buy that many, and at the time Audition was Windows only.
And to be fair, they made for excellent editing machines.
I do use a Mac and I hate it… It’s a birthday gift from my family, because owning a Mac makes the “man”…
Uuhg, I always need to learn things twice… First how it works on Linux and than how to reproduce the same on Mac…
There are to many shitty workarounds that do not behave the same way Linux does even though it’s UNIX based.
.plist files comes to mind
how to make a samba share mount on boot/access
Default’s to zsh
Shitty default terminal and dumb keyboard shortcuts…
Default applications are useless… (Thanks homebrew 👏)
I fucking hate it… And after 4 years of intense use I still do not understand why people would willingly buy something like that closed crap ecosystem. Maybe just a hipster thing…
Are there seriously no lemmy users on a Mac? Lol.
I use Debian.
