its the same thing.

#

so if I want to ssh on Windows, should I go to the Window's store and download the Ubuntu subsystem or download OpenSSH or PuTTy?

#

If I want to run it headless and use it for anything productive or as a server, how can I do that?

#

if I want to index the file system and distribute it across multiple nodes on Windows, how do I do that?

#

How is the same, convice me.

#

Interesting how no large tech runs Windows for anything productive, or how everything you use doesn't rely on windows, e.g., with discord that you're sending me a message through now.

personally, the support for exe files is much better than dmg files, I have no need to do anything on a server, and if I want to do something productive at least I can get performance for a fraction of the price of the cheese grater

You’ll never see a serious engineering team running their workflows on Windows -- it's all bloatware or with exe's, malware, which aren't sandboxed whatsoever. If you're concerned about just cost, sure, but it will limit you. Nonetheless, I'm not conviced with it "being the same thing"

#

By the way, I'm not arguing purely for macos, but unix altogether over windows.

are the majority of people “serious engineering teams?” I don't think so, I'm seeing this from a point of compatibility of software and file types. Personally the workflow when I used MacOS, was annoying and finicky (3-4 years). I see your point though, from a software level, it makes more sense to use Unix systems over Windows because of the bloatware, malware, etc. But until Apple makes their products at a more competitive price level for performance with PCs (Windows) then, for me, its a no-brainer to use the more affordable system.

Also, since most people aren't “serious engineering teams” I see them as the same as long as you know how to navigate them safely, you can essentially do the same thing.

I understand your point, but you genuinely can't do the same thing... I see you're "video editing" and challenge you to see what os is used for the supercomputers to render films from disney and pixar. If you're just an average dad or mom, they don't use 80% of a machine anyway, so it doesn't matter. But they aren't the same. Competitive pricing is relative with what you're working on. Interested in running Llama 405B locally? Have fun getting a $100k system with Windows and 4 H100s to run it on Windows when a cluster of 4 Mac Studios can run it.

why would I need to render a whole movie? I see your point, but your making a lot of your arguments on the grounds of it being better if your doing REALLY heavy-duty things. ofc when you put it into an extreme comparison the tides will shift, but as I said, I'm saying this on the grounds of the average person.

#

That is right! A lot of heavy-duty tasks run our world. I also didn’t think Wooting keyboards were for the average person 😂 I’m still not convinced.

Also a Wooting isn't that much if you save for it. Buying a whole Mac studio is

all that workflow and 100k systems but no mousepad?

that was a debate we were having
