Mac vs pc: what does /b/ think?
It all depends on what you're doing.

PC for gaming. Mac for less viruses. Overall though, I prefer PC.
>>672897756
Windows PC for gaming, Linux PC for developing, Mac for watching gay porn

Or just use a good anti virus and say fuck Mac all together. I have " acquired " couple thousand gigs in the last 5 yrs alone, viruses have barely been a problem.
>>672897891
U gotta be retarded to get a virus anyway.
But yeah, they both have their purposes and are both pretty nice
>>672897891
or just don't download whatever the fuck you want whenever the fuck you want it just look out all the time and don't download total shit

Windows desktop for gaming, Macbook Pro for quality mobility, everyone wins

>>672897756
Laptop? If not gaming or using for work, Mac.
Desktop? Windows.
Apple's trackpad utilisation is second to none but their actual UI is abysmal.
>>672897756
This sort of conversation used to be a lot more polarizing.
Now they bot have their pros and cons and functional uses within their markets.
PC for gaming, general work use.
Mac for media or mobility (laptop)
>>672897756
Simple economic question:
The software you'll need to run on the computer defines the operating system you need. In case the software runs on multiple OS, pick the platform that costs less.
Apple anhilated PCs a long time ago, all the butthurt PC heads starting sucking the cock of Google and Samesong, Samesong are fast followers and Google made a search engine, both companies not worthy of any respect.
If i go to a library with a windows machine, will i be laughed at in comparison to a mac operated machine.
Pc- Gaming, Work
Mac- Editing, movies,music...
Just switched to mac last week, since my need either requires mac or PC/Windows. Cant stand Windows, and since Linux is not an option, I had to dig deep into my soul and buy a Macbook Pro.
Still will be running Linux on servers, and my work kan give me my daily dose of Windows.
Overall, Mac is expensive, but not too bad.
>>672897756
You seriously can't work effectively on a PC as a developer.
PC = Personal Computer, a Mac is a personal computer, so a Mac is a PC.
But don't get me wrong, I prefer Windows.

Microsoft still has the majority of the market share. Your actual complaint is about operating systems that are available for "PC", and cross-platform compatibility.

I am the CTO of a rather large software company, what development (other than iphone/ipad) dev are you talking about?
Most of the dev actually happens on linux dev servers, with samba shares. The winodws pc interface to them over the file share, and edit code. The code editing tools on Windows is great, Visual Studio, Atom, just to name a few

According to my gf,
mac is ideal for A developer to work alone on something. it has to do with the terminal's isolated environment.
as soon as a developer works with any more developers or a team, no one gives a shit about OS (except the designer)

Windows if you are a sheep.
Mac if you have money to solve the issue.
Linux if you are not a moron.
Windows is gaming also... can't live without it if you game.
A good friend of mine does 'ethical hack' contract work with the government.
All his work stuff is PC/Linux shit, all his at home/personal stuff is Apple.
As he said, "When I'm not at work, I don't want to have to work on technology."
Changed my viewpoint a little.
>>672905900
Your friend sounds like a fag.
>>672906027
Thanks :)
>>672906281
Your welcome.
What does he do for a living?
>>672906395
I don't know any of the specifics, I just know he's part of a contracting company in D.C. that handles a lot of networking shit for the government.

fuck mac, unless you wanna become apple's bitch. Windows most appropriate for most users since for high hardware compatibility and easy handling, if you want free and customable stuff, go gnu/linux.
>>672904146
I work a lot with the terminal. You just can't beat Unix-based operating systems on this point. This combined with the security, sturdyness, reliability and just average quickness to doing whichever task you want is what does it. Windows is like moving through syrup in comparison.

i've dual boot on my desktop for game purposes, otherwise nowadays Ubuntu is great for all kind of usage, even gaming since steam has worked so hard to make all those games run on it. I've installed steam on linux lately, I'm amazed how much games now run on it plain and smooth without annoying tweaking or shit.
>>672907516
That being said, I love the .Net framework and Visual Studio.

>fuck mac, unless you wanna become apple's bitch
Yet, everything you do on a Windows computer with the newest versions of Win7, 8 or 10 is being sent to Microsoft and probably sold to the highest bidder (with a copy sent to NSA).
At the same time Apple is fighting a court battle against the FBI attempting to set up a backdoor in every iPhone so as to "track terrorists", a classic excuse for breaching people's rights.

>>672897756
To be honest I hate Mac, but that should not be any obstacle to you buddy. If you do some Multimedia shit and have a bit too much money right now, then go on with that Mac bro. If you're more into gaming, then this will be a bad choise, although you can install a second distro running in the Mac. That means you can even play Windows games on Mac, but this is a bit cheesy on my opinion.
But I have to compliment Apple for their monitors. It's super neat.

Because Apple is a retarded fuckfag of a company
>>672908039
You've gotta be trolling. Windows spying options can be deactivated, and Apple has probably a lot more info on their users since Apple's world is perfectly closed and controlled, every software and hardware are tightly controlled and you can't do a thing that's not allowed by their policy. It's easy for them to play privacy white knights in those conditions.
people who hate macs are poor people
>>672909051
Actually Microsoft is far more retarded...
they are the reason for the whole WinPC recession.
>>672909386
>Windows spying options can be deactivated
No, no they can not. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/11/02/microsoft-confirms-unstoppable-windows-10-tracking
Although Apple may not be pure either, at least they're not all over NSA's cock.
>>672908039
Apple are phones mac are there computer range.. Let's not get the two confused. If you know just a little about computers you would have already disabled the Microsoft botnet on win7 or 8..the only people I know with Macs run Windows on it anyway...
>>672909981
Only the retarded went to Windows 10...
>>672897756
99% of the rage from PC users against OSX is because they haven't used OSX for any measurable amount of time. I thought I hated OSX but then our company bought us Macbooks. It's fine. Not perfect, but better than Windows 10: Adware Botnet edition.
Also a lot of the rage comes from poorfags who try to convince themselves that their shitty plastic $500 ricer laptop from ACER is comparable with a fully specced out MBP. Give me a fucking break.

PC, mac is overhyped and overpriced. Graphics for photo editing are ok, but not stunning

Apple is a corporation which produces (among other products) phones and computers. The computers aren't any more compromised than the phones, although it should be stated that the in-house processors iPhones use are a clear security bonus. Did you know the fingerprint data is stored in the processor and can't be read by anyone apart from the designer, Apple? If I were to get a smart phone, it would definitely be iPhone.
>If you know just a little about computers you would have already disabled the Microsoft botnet on win7 or 8
And I have, by moving over to Linux.
>>672910179
But the same spying was brought to Win8 and Win7 in recent updates.
And even if you managed to avoid those updates doesn't mean the company isn't straight up dicks.
