MacBook Pro (2016) disappointment pushes some Apple loyalists to Ubuntu Linux BetaNews
回复
I have tried out Mac and prefer Linux. Ubuntu os OK but I am not a huge unity fan.
There are some other desktops.
The Big Ones: KDE, GNOME 3, Unity.
GNOME 3 and Unity are similar to each other.
I'm using Mate (continuation of GNOME 2). It's been well maintained.
"In other words, the System76 machine with much better specs is less expensive than Apple's."
Business as usual, nothing to see here. What REALLY would have been cool (and would have made Apple stand out) is if they made the screen an OLED. It would instantly humiliate all those PCs with TN panels, on the store shelves and even in advertisements. If Apple is going to charge so much, they should provide the super-fancy hardware to justify it.
I'm using MATE too. It works pretty well indeed.
Really like the plug for System76.com - it's good to see the little guys getting some attention
Aesthetically though, omg, that system76 laptop looks like an ugly piece of shit.
MATE master race here. No joke, I get an additional 2 hours of battery life on my laptop using MATE over GNOME 3, and that's with compositing enabled.
Yeah, I'm sure all those creative pros are going to ditch Adobe and move over to GIMP.

MATE here too. It's not as pretty as elementary, but it's super stable.
You can run ubuntu on a macbook if you want.
Crossover/wine runs photoshop on linux. For other things like 3D, drawing and vectors there are great linux tools for that (blender, krita, inkscape)
OLED screens still have the problem of LEDs fading. Something like the top menu bar on MacOS would be quickly burned into the top of the screen.
2017 will be the Year of Linux, no doubt.

Which distros are using it?
Same here. I'm looking into that as well to largely replace Windows 10
Bad link formatting
There are actually loads of great programs for linux but its a bit hit and miss if the tools you need are good.
Ah yes, the old Photoshop excuse. Been hearing that one for years.
As if **everybody** uses Photoshop to begin with...
I've been a Mac user even through the near bankruptcy days in the mid-late 90's, through Steve's return, the turn around, PPC to intel switch, ect.
My 2014 15" MBPr Quad 2.5Ghz might be my last Mac. Apple is no longer interested in what used to be their core users, it's sad.
Most of the gamut of people who will be buying those new macs will be. I'm not bashing Linux (excuse the pun), but the article is bullshit in terms of jumping ship to Linux. Windows on the other hand..
> Most of the gamut of people who will be buying those new macs will be.
The article doesn't even mention Photoshop at all, as I suspect the Photoshop users being a tiny minority to begin with.
Nope, the *Photoshop excuse* is the same old tired anti-Linux cliché I've been hearing about for years now, even from people I suspect who don't even use Photoshop to begin with.
>Windows on the other hand..
Sure, if they trust Windows 10. Even many traditional Windows users don't even trust Windows 10.
>2017 will be the Year of Linux, no doubt.
Probably not, but I'll settle for 10 to 15% and I think that's realistic.
But keep up with the old excuses. They are quite nostalgic.
Don't blame mac users for wanting to jump ship. Hell I applaud those that do it but that unboxing video in the link was horrible.
I'm amazed the guy didn't dislocate his shoulder while jerking himself off by not cutting himself with his really sharp knife while lamenting that if he did it would get him even more youtube hits. He had to be using a go pro so he could be constantly rubbing one out while marveling at the art of the inside of the box.
I had to shut that shit off after that. That laptop has some sexy specs though. Too bad that douchebag couldn't keep it together for a decent unboxing.
lol @ "hurt and disgusted by lack of SD slot" what fucking babies. like a tiny SD reader/usb hub is a big deal.
Same situation, but absolutely hyped for my incoming maxed out 15" MBP. To each their own!
I just got an Acer Swift 3 for a family member for $500. Running Windows 7 of course but it has a all metal case, is very lightweight and looks very much like a Macbook. For that prices it was a great deal.
Get elementary OS if you like Mac. It has an interface akin to it.
I've used an Apple laptop since the PowerBook G4 and I'm on my fifth iPhone since the original I got at launch. I'm buying a Surface Book this week and I'm hoping MS puts out a sweet Surface phone next year. If not, I'll probably go with a Pixel for my next phone. I feel like Apple doesn't give a fuck about content creators anymore and MS is being brilliant by embracing us. I'll miss OS X, but I can always fire up a Linux VM on my Surface Book if I need to do something with a *nix system.
I didn't bother with the video.
