Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    runs major software

    You'd probably want to go for Windows in that case? There's plenty of software that doesn't have a MacOS version.

    At this point, with proton/wine more major software works on Linux than Mac OS.

    Windows doesn’t run Xcode. macOS does run Office.

    [–] dan@upvote.au 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    How many people choose Xcode over other IDEs though? Or are there some things that you can only do in Xcode?

    [–] noahimesaka1873@lemmy.funami.tech 3 points 2 days ago

    Building i(Pad)OS apps. Xcode sucks ass, but you have to use it for that, sadly.

    Lol, advocating windows. I guess it could get worse than the OP’s post.

    [–] dan@upvote.au 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    I was just comparing it to MacOS, and using it as a reply to the comment that MacOS "runs major software and doesn’t force the user to spend half their life in the command line", which I interpreted to mean an OS that a mainstream user would be comfortable with. Windows fits that description better than MacOS does. I'm not advocating for using Windows instead of Linux or anything like that.

    People who buy Macs are typically not buying it because they’re gamers.
