I am losing trust in using Microsoft Windows. Is there any meaning to continuing using Windows 11 .. n? (I am about to move on to something new and better(?) I know this is Unix forum but my question is also if Unix or GNU Linux is a overkill for some users since I am not using Unix or GNU Linux at …

[image] UnixUser2022: If someone please could help me out with some good advice at least some substencial facts and knowledge I will give you a fanfare (or why not a cup of coffe with an icecream when we meet). Give me your point view if I should get on with I recommend macOS (based on unix, d…

Thanks for your insight. What is your thoughts about Unix platform and Linux ? Is the Mac terminal much the same as Unix or Linux terminal? DO MAC has any platform similarities with Windows specifically Registry database, and what about Active Directory and Policy based system environment? I just…

Great advice from @neo . MacOS is indeed a great Unix based operating system. You don't say what variety of hardware you currently have. If you have a x86 PC with sufficient clout then you could run up a *nix o/s without buying new hardware until you are familiar with *nix including the command li…

[image] UnixUser2022: Thanks for your insight. What is your thoughts about Unix platform and Linux ? I The largest group of unix users in the world are macOS users.. macOS == unix You should read the link refs @Neo shared with you @UnixUser2022 . :slight_smile:

Hello, To give you a bit of historical background on the current Mac OS, it is essentially descended from a version of UNIX from the late 1980s called NeXTSTEP. This was the operating system run on the NeXTcube and NeXTstation line of UNIX workstations which were made by a company called NeXT, whi…

And also... Apple is one of the few big tech companies in the world fully committed to user security and privacy.

I'd like to add that if you choose to run a Linux distribution, you can, if you want, get an $800-1200 system that'll be as fast or faster than a $3000-4000 Windows system and in my personal opinion, much simpler than MacOS or iOS, the Apple systems based on Next. I live in a senior citizen communi…

Hello, A few quick thoughts about Linux laptop suppliers; if you're looking to buy a decent Linux laptop but also want to get one where you know everything "just works" (as they say), then you could potentially look at the offerings of System76 or Tuxedo Computers . They are two companies that are …

Good discussion. I am a big Linux fan and have been using Linux in production applications since Slackware 0.8 (before the 1993 release), which was nearly 30 years ago. We should be clear here. Linux is NOT an operating system (like macOS). Linux is a computer program at the core of a computer's…
