How does a decade old Mac work better than a PC that lasted 3 years?HP has not been kind to me.Even the one before the last (same brand) was a lot worse.Wouldn't even turn on!Never fucking with PC again unless I absolutely have to.

@WolfJay Really you don't like HP? My dad and me have been using them for the last decade with few real problems. (i had to replace my power supply once tho).

@WolfJay because the mac was probably $1500 new the pc was probably like $500. i see a lot of people make this comparison without factoring in price and it's kinda stupid tbh. enterprise hardware is a lot more durable than a cheap walmart consoomer craptop. hp is also known as one of the worst computer brands. dell and supermicro are the only brands i use now

@AngryHortlerNoises Yeah Macs are usually a grand+ and some still end up breaking. They're not godly, no, but my experience has been great. MacOS is much better and simpler to use than Windows 10 and the latter is bad no matter the computer you're using.

@AngryHortlerNoises Heard more good than bad things about Linux. Also that setting it up pure hell but the reward is like none other? lmao.

@WolfJay linux is so easy to set up a nigger could do it. the installer for a distro like ubuntu is just point and click

@WolfJay Macs are kinda designed to be broken / they haven't fixed some problems with the board that have existed for years but I personally have never had a HDD fail on a personal laptop or on a desktop. The Windows itself can break if you have like 3rd party antivirus and that happens very often as used to fix computers like that as a job. Hardware wise there isn't much of a difference but with Windows installing 3rd party crap antiviruses or anything like that can cause some major issues out of the blue.Linux on the other hand is really easy to install nowadays due the setup process is pretty straightforward but usually have to ask yourself if it's worth it if you have programs on Windows for example that you wouldn't be able to run on Linux at all and personally I still don't like Linux distros on desktops but servers always been perfect.

@WolfJay Unlucky experiences in the end I suppose with HP and the previous manufacturers that have had as usually if it wouldn't turn on at all then it would indicate for example the RAM failing or not being detected properly anymore. Old Windows laptops overall were built like garbage such as having overheating issues from anything.

@AngryHortlerNoises Ehh I don't know. I only checked it out a while back but I'd like to see for myself. Design looks pretty damn cool.

@Votton Whatever problems that Mac has, and they do have issues, the OS is still better than Windows 10. Having to look for drivers to install so my screen and trackpad are working properly is a whole ass pain.

@WolfJay Well with modern Windows laptops (Shipped with 10) there are no driver issues at all anymore but if install 10 on a laptop with 7 or even XP it will usually struggle to find drivers. I do like anything more than Windows as OS but it's just the software support in the end really but I can't be bothered to get a secondary GPU for passthrough either which could be a solution.

@WolfJay Windows 10 animations are laggy af on laptop HDDs and overall bad experience. It's pretty much required at this point to have an SSD to run Windows 10 which is ridiculous.

@Votton SSD should be on everything tbh. And I get the support W10 still has even with all the bullshit. I grew up on '95 and XP but never used 7. Wish I had tho. It seems nice but then MS dropped support for it because they're soulless typical shit heads.

@WolfJay I do agree with having SSDs now on everything but they expected all these old users of previous versions to transfer over to Windows 10 and it's just gonna end up being a really laggy experience as the older people have HDDs still as the main drive. In the end regarding the OS stuff now is that they want to push everyone on 10 which they can collect a lot of data out from and push their own products as people simply don't have the choice anymore to stay on the older systems as it would be dangerous.

@WolfJay Windows 7 design started getting old by standards but it was always solid and now on the setup of Windows 10 you are shoved a lot of data collection and other things straight off, even re-offering their own products such as OneDrive sometimes on updating the OS to a new update.

@WolfJay It's quite clear recently from Microsoft anyways when they bought out Mojang and made the Bedrock version which now has for example skins for real money, maps or anything of that sort and now they have the interest to buy out Discord and if they do buy Discord I do expect them to quite heavily monetise it in some way.

@Votton If they get Discord they're gonna fuck it up like Skype but I stopped using both anyway. All of big tech sucks no matter what you're using though. Some shit is just better than others. I hope to use Linux soon.
