Alright clints?
How In The Utter Living Fuck does anyone use windows?
How in the year of ipads and touchscreens and android OS is thing even accepted by humans? I mean really... HITULF
I've used macs for twenty years but I'm in another part of the country without my macbook and need to do some spur of the moment design work. It was either £999 for a macbook or £499 for a huawei matebook with the same specs. The huawei looked nice, got good reviews and plus I could get the it delivered to the argos round the corner from me the same day so I bought it.
The last time I tried windows properly was probably XP although I used the new square block type windows OS on a nokia tablet about 5 or 6 years ago and thought it was ALRIGHT at best, certainly compared with my only other experiences with windows it certainly seemed to be moving towards something more acceptable. I'm no apple fanboy, I love mac OS but would rather have a decent android phone any day.
I assumed that by now, in 2022, the latest version of windows would surely be at least alright and would be something I could get on with. What an idiotic assumption...
Windows 11 is utter nonsense and is hardly any different to the god awful experience that I always knew windows as. How the almighty feck does windows still render fonts so badly? Like it did in 1999!? Even after going through the cleartype options it's still TERRIBLE. Fonts look terrible, everywhere... I can only laugh in bewilderment. Honestly I cannot fathom how windows hasn't progressed. Bizarre.
Shortcuts are still a mess, all over the keyboard, not set in comfortable positions, no way to change any of it. Nothing works smoothly, seems to pick up phantom commands constantly. Photoshop is almost unusable, the canvas will fly off screen, it'll drag a layer off somewhere when I'm simply hovering over it, shortcuts only seem to work half the time.
Honestly I'm gobsmacked at how terrible it is... but it's also not such a surprise in that it's exactly how I remember windows to be all those years ago. What have they been doing for twenty years!? hahaha
It's a shame because the hardware is great. This huawei matebook is really lovely. I just wish I could run a decent OS on it. I'd love to run linux but need to use Adobe CC so I'm stuck trying to get used to this windows shit-wind.
I've come to the conclusion that any serious person who has used mac or linux and still prefers and defends windows is clearly an NPC void of consciousness or independent thought.
What say you, qbn peasants? Am I doing it wrong?

Windows is predominately built and designed for Hilary, senior administrator at a local government office, aged 53, two children, a cat and used to have a dog but it died.
She is a little over weight and on HRT. She never does overtime and you can set your clock by when she leaves the office.
She did an evening course in learning how to use a PC and the World Wide Web back in the mid 90's.
She is... the target audience of Windows.
Microsofts sole mission is to not upset Hilary - any novel UI/UX change that would make things easier in theory, but alien to stuck in her ways Hilary - must be avoided. Microsoft can not be guilty of rising her blood pressure due to a clear to read font that she 'just isn't used to' as she's already on a fairly high does of statins.

Bothers me only a little because just imagine what you could create with the platform and resources that they have. It could be so good with really not too much work...
We do live in clown world though and I'm more and more every day bewildered by the idiocy of my species, so I can't say I'm completely surprised.
- can't they make a 'windows pro' version that is light, optimised, clean ui/ux, the best feature of mac osx, tailored for creators?shapesalad
- "the idiocy of my species" you fucking, freethinking retardbabydick_
- I was about to say I forgot that QBN was full of NPCs but I didn't forget, that's why I haven't been here in 5 yearsHench

Windows 10 pro is just fine, you pussies.
- Is it really though or is it shit as well and you're an NPC?Hench
- Yes. Also, no one uses HITULF. Go suck some apple dickbabydick_
- No because I coined it just nowHench
- Can you only use things other people have used? Of course, you NPC cuntHench
- What about people who can't afford macs? You can get a Windows PC starting at 300 dollars. If you go refurbished, even cheaper (and possibly decent hardware).jagara
- Well yea sure it's nice people can afford laptops, not sure what your point isHench

People use Windows because they've never used anything else, and have never even considered a Mac. When they bought a PC at Circuit City in 1998, it had Windows. Their PC at work is Windows. Mac's are some weird thing they could never learn. They have no idea what Linux is.
Even system admins at companies are like this. Windows Server, Active Directory, Domain Controllers. These idiots waste so much money on licenses for shit that can be done for free (or much cheaper) using Linux.
A big reason is (for IT staff): they're terrified of the terminal. Windows is point and click, and that's easy to do. Nevermind the fact that it's 10 clicks of arbitrary bullshit, and Linux is usually editing a single text file in vim. And, once you get used to it after a few months, you realize you're 10x faster in a terminal. But, that's too hard.
- That's all valid but why do fonts still look like shit?Hench
- Type "ClearType" in search and select "Adjust ClearType Text". This allows you to tweak sub-pixel type rendering... you can even match Apple's blurry type.monNom
- No, you can't. If you weren't an NPC retard you might have actually read my post in which case you'd have known that already tried that nonsenseHench
- I've managed Windows Server, half of the things you might need to do are command-line only. It's not all point-and-click!evilpeacock

People use Windows because Mac is a small, fringe platform for people who have trouble with email attachments and finding USB drives they plugged in.
Macs are 'simple' because they have abstracted away all of their utility in favour of a single screen, with a small collection of brightly coloured buttons. MacOS is a desktop environment where, to the average user, if it doesn't appear on the desktop it does not exist. It was made for primary-school age children because that was historically their largest market.
About its only saving grace is that it has a linux terminal, which is why dev's like it for remoting into cloud instances. But Windows has a linux terminal now too.
- Windows has a Linux VM you can enable. So, it's a bit more than just a terminal. And, it's actually pretty great for a local dev environment.section_014

right-click solves all of your problems on windows.
- Do macs still have one-button mice?drgs
- Apple mice have a giant trackpad that is a button too. It seems to confuse a lot of folks when they accidentally trigger gestures.evilpeacock

Rule of the thumb is: you work on the same platform for which you develop/what your servers are running
