Apple being the pinnacle of this. They were the first ones that made devices theirs, not yours.
Yeah, exactly. I find the shilling for MacOS a bit concerning, already from the article and also the comments.
A Mac feels more like yours than Windows? Just goes to shows how shitty Windows has become, not how MacOS is better.
Mac has always felt more like mine than Windows. Nothing has changed there.
And neither holds a candle to the pure, blinding, white light that is Linux. GNOME, KDE, the world is your oyster and the desktop is your choice.
In comparison with Windows and iOS, Mac OS is a paradigm of respecting the user. Of course that's only because the bar is firmly embedded on Earth's inner core.
Respecting the user? Lol
Yeah dude, holy shit. Cannot believe these comments here. Does anyone of the MacOs evangelists have an example of how MacOs "respects the user"?
They have the close, minimize and full screen buttons in the upper left corner instead of the upper right.
/s just in case.
Do you understand what "comparing" means?
Apple has always been about locking down the system and forcing the user to do things the way Apple wants. Not only within one device, but also in locking down inter-device protocols and removing standard ones, as well as obfuscating information about the hardware, not letting the users make an informed decision. And that's already after the fact that you aren't legally allowed to use the system on non-Apple hardware.
I used to use macOS and macOS used to have a true
rootuser that you can enable. Sometimes after 2016 I think root was neutered and you can no longer do whatever you want. I don't like using macOS anymore.
