WINDOWS vs MAC vs LINUX

So which one wins? Which do you prefer?
Windows versus Mac versus Linux

inb4

This is a programming board, not a "babby's favorite OS" board.

GNU emacs

Windows and Mac automatically lose as a result of being closed-source.

Linux uses the same shitty designs, so I'm not sure it wins.

OS X is Linux with support...
Although I do like Arch on my ThinkPad 600x, my PowerBook G4 is my OS X portable.

What do OS' even have to do with programming? This should be in the Computers board, not the programming board.

For the record though, Windows and Linux.

Take it to /g/, ``faggot''

Windows

Actually, much of Mac OS was made open-source with Darwin.
That said Apple products are overpriced as shit.

Darwin doesn't even boot without a bunch of closed-source shit from OS X.

This thread belongs in /tech/ or /comp/ --

anyway, OSX is actually more like BSD Unix than anything else y'all mentioned.

I like to use GNU/Linux or GNU/kBSD - That is GNU with BSD kernel instead of the Linux kernel. I wrote a long post some time ago about many of the issues, both personal and technical, with the Linux kernel or colonel as I like to call it. For one, Linus is a fucking dick and a tool and also as the gatekeeper of the kernel, a single point of failure. He's a pure narcissist and glory-grabber and I don't really trust him/think he will sell out his precious colonel if he hasn't already.

I run so many distros that I have no choice but to use his kernel half the time, but when I can I go with kBSD. Debian Squeeze is the shit, btw.

I like to keep up with Windows and I will run it but only use it with networking on virtual machines (like a paper plate, you toss for a fresh one after each meal) or on air gapped PC's. I would never use a permanent windows install on a networked machine. The most leet blue team guys on earth can't even secure the latest and greatest Windows from a generic skid, if the skid is determined; none the less from a noteworthy adversary. Running Windows is great for blending in as its so dominantly prevalent. It's also good for 2 other things. Making money, from games, or security, etc. lastly, (and best for last) it's useful for pwning people because like I mentioned, its swiss cheese.


OSX - I never really use, but I Like it for general and everyday computing. I don't really play with images, videos or advanced audio stuff but if I did OSX would be the only choice. I mean, for the general populace (unless you're a gay-mer) OSX is superior in every possible way. In this case, the limitations it imposes on the user is a good thing. Windows and OSX try to market to the general audience, and the truth is that everyone has computers and net these days ..and the truth is that 99.999% of people with comps and net don't know jack shit about it other than how to turn it on and off, send and email, browse the net, save a file and maybe even install software if it comes with a pretty graphic installer that isn't to "confusing." So, I understand where these companies are coming from in regards to what kind of person they are trying to please with their products.. I get it.. and the truth of the matter is that Apple does a much better and more elegant job with making their UI user-friendly..

Average people are a tier 1 in terms of computer literacy..remember that and it's clear why it seems like these companies are making products for retards.

Cocoa is great for highlevel stuff, things like IOKit are great for lowlevel stuff.

Windows. I used to use GNU/Linux but stopped because I was holding back my computing experience. No one will ever develop for Basement OS except its users. But sometimes they make good software, so I'd like to use it. Every fucking tool I used on ``GNU/Linux'' either compiled effortlessly on Windows or someone took the time to make a port (like gnuwin32). Plus there's SUA. You don't even need cygwin. You can get bash, csh, and zsh working on Windows without cygwin--probably more but I haven't tried it.

If OS X had a meaningful analogue of apt-get I wouldn't use anything else. In before durr homebrew/othershit

我想要打插一下。你講的這個Linux其實應該叫成GNU/Linux，或者跟我最近給它的名稱，GNU與Linux。 Linux本來自己不是一個電腦操作系統，而是GNU系統的一個部分。有個GNU corelibs，系統中心程序和重要系統組件，它才成為一個全面電腦操作系統，根據POSIX的定義。

每日，很多使用電腦的人沒有註意到他們在運行一個修改過的GNU系統版本。通過一段奇怪的事件，今天最常用的GNU版本經常被叫成「Linux」，然後很多使用它的人不知道它真正是GNU工程開發的GNU系統。

Linux真的存在，然後這些人真的在使用它，可是它其實只是他們使用的系統的一部分而以。 Linux只是系統內核，系統中給其他程序分配電腦資源的程序。這個系統內核是操作系統的很重要一部分，可是單獨沒有用處――它只能在一個全面操作系統以內的景況才能有作用。 Linux常常根GNU操作系統結合使用，基本上全系統就是GNU加上Linux，因而GNU/Linux。所有所謂的「Linux」發行版其實就是GNU/Linux的發行版。
