@tahnik about Ubuntu, I agree, but not Linux in general. Linux will always be faster when you choose so. As for other reasons, we have more customization options, more room for experimentation and also the possibility to avoid proprietary software completely.

Macs may be fast enough for everyday use by everyday users, but try compiling a behemoth like LLVM, Chrome or Servo and compare the time to a laptop in the same price range.

@OrestH yeah, but it's also shit :D

How could he dump C++ for Java? How could anyone dump anything for Java?

Everything apple is a piece of shit. Except their maps. The maps are also hilarious

To see if I still feel...

@dextel2 no

@sSam some might be outdated and some subjective, I agree, but most shouldd still be valid

@NyxMC the reason is marketing and timing, not quality

@Alfer along with some concepts/constructs Java completely refuses or concepts in Java are plain retarded

@daniello plz add Rust :D

java back at it again

@edwrodrig brainfuck

Turbo C was really awesome 25 years ago...

C natural already exists iirc

@SpectralKH HERETIC

@njmo meh, at least it isn't Java or COBOL

another reason to dislike Java

NaN is a floating point number, actually *shrug*

also check out Beerware and Chicken Dance License

@Neo- I also considered the possibility, but since there are people of varying knowledge and age on DevRant, I opted to answer, just to be sure

@vhoyer quality assurance

C -> Awesome; Bing - Why?

@ninjatini can I use my own init or window manager? Can I boot into single-user mode? Can I update every single-piece of software, kernel included, on demand with a single command? Can I get multiple copy/paste buffers? Use a different file system than the default one?

If all answers are yes, then I will consider them equal. I don't actually know that much about macos, just pinpointed where I think might be some weak points 😀

@nielsen192 *to ruin your business

@kraator it is also a retarded piece of code :D kudos for making it work though

Wordpad... that is a name I haven't heard in a long time

@lumy phew, am I glad I am not a low key stalker like those two

Nope, we can't. Java sucks

@honeyBadgerJeff Rust is love, Rust is 'lifetimes

What sort of loopy land have I entered?
