So, I uh... bought a mac. WTF do I do?
fohfoh:
So after a bit of tinkering... I'd try venture to say that so far, the OSX experience is like dealing with Ubuntu. Sans the idea that software update is not easily integrated into the OS, installing programs is a weird thing, and figuring out whether programs are running is just straight up confusing.
At this point, minus the fact that the drivers are much better for mac on mac hard ware and also the fact that battery life is generally better, I'd say that I'd prefer linux over mac.
mgz:
yea when your os only needs to support a couple dozen different components its easier then when it needs to support and function on tens of thousands of different hardware configs

wait wut? mac had its own hardware? last time i checked the shops it all had intel cores on it...
AceHigh:
Of course Mac had it's own hardware. 7 years ago they used PPC CPU. It was of course before Mac found out that having unique hardware and OS didn't make it the best and reduced themselves to yet another retailer like for example Dell.
Slysoft:
Pretty much everyone i've ever met who owns a mac when asked what they do when they want to play games is that they dual boot windows. So my question is, if you run windows for gaming anyway, and obviously you are not a professional computer animator or in the film industry (although most of the industry standard programs for these professions are on windows and were originally designed for windows only), what do you use OSX for? Browsing the internet? I can assure you that windows does this just fine.
