Posts Tagged ‘Mac OS’

Hey, I’m a Windows user. I use Windows XP, and I’m pretty good with computers, but I don’t know ALOT of technical shit. I recently re-formatted and removed Windows and installed the Mandriva Linux distro. So far (about a month) I fucking hate it!!! But anyway, I hate Windows, too, even though I really love it’s availability and user-friendliness and overall simplicity. So, I’m thinking of what I should do, and I remember Macs! Now, I have heard so much about Mac and Macbooks (Typical Mac User???) I have heard that it’s wonderful and high quality, and that it’s near impossible to break, and I’ve heard that OS X is the best thing to ever exist. Then from someone else, I hear that they’re gimmicky and glitchy, that OS X makes no sense and is terribly buggy, that tech support is rare and expensive, that they’re incredibly low quality and fragile, and that Windows is much better. I have heard alot of things about Windows users bashing it, there being no right-click thingy, and that you can’t get viruses, malware, etc. But then I’ve also heard that you CAN get viruses, that they DO have right-click…So. I kind of erased Windows by accident while I was dual-booting XP and Mandriva Linux, so my warranty is void and I now hate Linux ’cause it’s SO FUCKING CONFUSING…imho…sorry…and I don’t have Windows or want to go back to it. I’m fourteen years old, and my parents promised me a laptop during the summer between eighth grade and highschool. I’ve never had a laptop but I’ve always wanted one, and I only got my first computer this past Christmas. I’m very excited, and with my saved up money I can provide enough money so me and my parents can split the price of that white $999.00 Aluminum Unibody Macbook, which hopefully has the superdrive and good RAM and memory. But that will be all of my money, and it’s my first laptop. This is a really big descision. Please tell me EVERYTHING, INCREDIBLY DETAILED, about EVERYTHING!!!! Default browser, security features, programs and applications, Windows equivalents of applications, mobility, weight, looks (they look badass and ultra-awesome but I’ve heard of a “yellowing” problem with the white ones), just everything. Please. About Mac, Apple itself, the actual $999.00 Macbook, extra features, price, and if they’re worth it; and about OS X, too. Thanks, much obliged!

aside from xp vista or mac OS i have already tried debian ubuntu and xubuntu but they all say that it missed the 2000 cut of because its windows 98 it has a 30 gig hard drive 365mb ram

I am a 13 year-old kid who loves to try operating systems. I tried (and I have) Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Ubuntu Linux, Puppy Linux, Dyne:bolic, BeOS, OpenSUSE, Macintosh Systems 1 up to 7.5.5 and Mac OS X Leopard. Then here came AmigaOS 4. I loved Amiga based on the reviews of Ars Technica. Sadly, I live in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. I wanna have AmigaOS 4.

Thanks for the answers in advance.
