I find it hilarious how distorted is the perception of mac users when it comes to computing power. Their corporate owners have somehow domesticated them to believe it's still 1990 and they're rocking the best of the best, when they are using the equivalent of $600 in terms of real market value.

>>105979463 (OP)
they're fine if you can a cheapo apple silicon mac used.
the battery life/performance on battery are best in class, great for development work
some UI/UX decisions are aids but you can grab third-party tools to solve most of the issues

>>105979863
Apple is using 1984-esque methods to perpetually shift the narrativein their favor.
Just look at the state of this board.
There's constantly, at the very least, two Apple-shilling-threads at any given time.

What's the current state of running an x86 Windows VM on Apple Silicon?
I'm considering a 48GB Mac Mini as my next main dev machine, but I do need to keep the ability to work on some legacy Windows stuff (not sure if it would run in "Windows on ARM" but I really doubt it).

>>105979928
It's not only in that. They manipulate you when you're looking at prices on their website. They carefully craft their iCloud usage limits and pricing to maximize user dependence on their walled garden.
All in all, they are a pretty fucking dark company.

>>105979957
You're way, way better off setting up an VMWare virtual machine on a decent modern ThinkPad or Dell running Windows or Linux. Seriously, getting a mac as a main dev machine, unless you're primarily making mac and iphone applications, is a complete waste of money.

The M4 Mac Mini ($500) is currently the white man's daily driver

>>105979908
>they're fine if you can a cheapo apple silicon mac used.
Dead wrong.
Computers' performance degrade with time.

Buying second hand computer is heavily shilled because :
1/ it allows them to recoup some of their potential loss whenever a product line's performance is drastically subpar over time.
2/ it allows them to pretend they care about ecology. ("See?! We totally didn't send 3yo hardware to the trashpile!")

It's a scam. And the average joe is footing the bill.

>>105979463 (OP)
They have great battery life? And they can be smooth to use if you are used to them. But otherwise, there is very little software on a Mac that can't be used on a PC, (in fact, I can only think of ArtStudio Pro) and a PC can be way more powerful and have way more storage than a Mac for way cheaper. On the desktop, the only real pro for a Mac is that you'll probably have less problems to deal with.

>>105979928

What if people are genuinely upset with Microsoft's recent direction? Lol, I'm one of them

>>105980009

Check out the latest products and specs, the price gap isn't there any more. And your "cheap PC" will get immediately bricked by their bloated ass OS and obligatory shartware. The question is starting to become "why would I bother with PC/windows" and the only answer is "more games availability."

>>105980013
>False dichotomy.

>>105979957
Semi-modern (as in 2-5 years old) thinkpad is the way to go. You'll get great driver support on any distro/unix OS and you can run your legacy Windows shit through wine or VMs.

I suggest getting the AMD thinkpads. The CPUs are much better and the on-board GPU has great driver support. Make sure to grab one with the Intel wifi card and you're good to go for the next several years. The keyboards and build quality isn't as good as old thinkpads but they're still the best thing on the market and have the nipple.

I'd never buy Apple shit. The battery life isn't much better than a thinkpad, the CPU isn't as good and they lock you out of developing software for your own system without paying a yearly tax. Plus you're screwed if you ever want to replace parts or even do simple shit like add more RAM or replacing the battery. You're expected to throw out your laptop and buy a new one every few years.

I say this as someone that was a big fan of Apple stuff up until the switch to Intel processors. Old Apple stuff was great. But it hasn't been the same since the late 90s/early 2000s.

>>105980036

Maybe if you're a window licking ape that can't see obvious causality. A large chunk of Win10 users were recently forced to migrate to Win11.

>>105980013
People have been upset with Microsoft's recent direction for 15 years now. Sure, Windows gets worse and worse, but unless it becomes completely, totally unusable, there will be no real reason to move to macOS. At the end of the day only Windows has everything people want, macOS doesn't. Also you spend like a thousand dollars more to get a Mac that will probably still have worse specs than a far cheaper PC. Maybe everything turns out just right, and Windows emulation tools like Crossover and Parallels are refined to perfection, and Windows becomes totally unusable, (it is still rather far away from that) it will be reasonable to turn into a Macfag.

I like MacBooks a lot but would never buy one with a notch in the screen. Bought a ThinkPad Z13 and have been happy with it running Gentoo.

>>105980095

Nope. I'm literally a .NET/C# dev, lifetime Windows user, former PC hardo that would clown on Macs all day. Something massive has changed and you haven't sensed it yet.

Right around 2014-2016 I was actually really in love with what Microsoft was doing. Win10 was solid and functional, clean UI, C# and .NET were in a great place, VS Code came out. It's been like decay and stagnation since. They bricked one of my laptops with their forced bloatware. Win11 has been sluggish and freezing all the time on the other. The UI is ugly and Satya is sending the entirety of Microsoft to India. I'm out.

>>105980128
The future is sadly *nix and wine/proton/VM to emulate all the legacy Windows shit that is still around. Microsoft screwed themselves by dropping support for all that old stuff along with hiring a bunch of people that don't know anything. They did the same thing around the time Windows 2000/XP released. They laid off almost their entire programmer staff and replaced them with cheaper people. But they realized their mistake and actually put out a decent OS with 7 and yeah 10 wasn't as bad as people say it was (after updates). But 11 is plain awful. It came with my last laptop and I spent a couple of days with it before I sold the key off and replaced it with *nix OS.

I'd love to see a company release an actual new kernel+userland. But I doubt it'll ever happen now that the big companies are all attempting to go back to the old mainframe model. Except instead of a campus network it'll be normalfags with dumb terminals accessing someone else's computer over the internet. They don't need a good end user OS anymore because they want the dumb terminals locked down as much as possible.

>>105979984
>>105980053
It's an understandable mistake since I kind of hijacked OP's macbook thread, but I was asking about the Mac Mini. So I'm looking for a desktop setup.
If I was looking for a laptop then it would absolutely have to be a macbook. There'd be no question there, sorry. I have an 8GB M1 Air and it's a great machine.

>>105979957 (Me)
Anyway, I think I can answer my own question... it turns out there's only one VM product that can do it at all, and it's not actually usable. Just a tech demo basically.
So if I need x86 Windows, I need x86 hardware. Fair enough.

>>105979463 (OP)

It's not just gaming availability, but also performance. I have a 4k 120hz monitor, and I wanna hit 120fps on 4k resolution regularly. Sure, on any old games I doubt any good Mac would have issues, but there are still a few new ones where I've looked up how well they emulate and they don't quite hit the performance I want. I'll wait, I think, until the M5 Max is out, at least. Hopefully it'll be good enough. (And Crossover more efficient) I'll wait on the Studio Display until they make one with 120hz. Can't live with 60hz.

The article you posted is bullshit. There is no x86 hardware virtualization on apple silicon only software-based emulation. QEMU is the way to go. You can emulate any x86/x86_64 Windows/Linux/BSD with USB, sound, network etc.
i was able to run Win 11, Win 10 and Win 7 in QEMU on my M3 Pro macbook last year, Win 11 and Win 10 were unusable, Win 7 was surprisingly fast

>>105980569

The business model is simply jeet repellant as well.

>Win 11 and Win 10 were unusable
my Windows setup is Win10 so sounds like this route still isn't a practical option.

>>105980617
You don't emulate a fucking OS for a different processor architecture. You virtualize Windows 11's ARM version. That then has good performance binary translation for x86 executables built in.

>>105980710
>Windows 11's ARM version
no drivers

>>105980710
In my (>>105979957) case, I need to run ancient shit (think very specific old versions of SQL Server, IIS, .NET). I know ideally you run ARM Windows, and I don't really know whether this stuff would run with windows-on-arm translation, but it feels very likely that at least one critical component would have issues. Anything short of rock solid means I'll need x86 hardware, I think.

I used to be a big Apple fan right up until they switched to Intel.
My first and only intel mac shat the bed randomly, I took it to the apple store, and I was told that I had spilled water on it (which I had not), and I would have to pay $900 for repairs + $100 for not telling them that I had spilled water on it (for real).

I shoved that macbook "pro" in a drawer and bought a ThinkPad E14, just like you said, and it's a wonderful machine. Solid, incredible battery life, repairable and expandable...

The way Apple has turned to shit over the years makes me angry, honestly. But you'd have to be really dumb to buy an Apple product these days if you value your money at all.

The only thing Apple still has in their favor is that you basically need Apple hardware to develop for their devices. If these anti-consumer practices were to be outlawed, which might happen at some point, there's no reason to not use Linux or Windows with WSL2 over macOS. Literally none.

It's a great machine for tasks that can fit within its wheelhouse, which in my case means web browsing and some lightweight dev with Node.
Docker is out of the question on this so currently I work on heavier projects on my 32GB Windows desktop.

I don't need to work on large projects portably but, if I did, I would definitely buy a 32GB+ M4 MBP.

the defective devices are true.

I once was in an apple store just checking out, an old man enters the store and ask for help because its device keeps electrocuting him, the hipster salesmen looks at the old man and tells him.

> you are using the device wrong

lmao he told that to the poor old man with a straight face blaming him for the clearly defective device.
What are the chances of coming across a random old man and its defective device? From then on when someone complains about a defective apple product i just believe them.
I don't trust a brand that couches its employees to blame the costumer, never ever.

It depends on what you're doing. A base model w/16GB of RAM is fine if you're not doing anything CPU intense. I personally think it's worth getting a pro model. If you have any interest in LLMs get 48GB to run models optimized for 5090s with room to spare. If you know you'll be doing LLM max out the RAM. Always buy applecare.

You need to pay for Xcode if you own apple devices (e.g. Apple TV) and don't have Apple computer. They force you to go all-Apple if you want to develop for their walled garden shit.

All the people here bragging about
>I have a job and I love Apple
aren't buying their own computers. They're getting a free computer from work and working on mostly walled garden shit (phone apps) or webapps (same thing really).

There is absolutely no reason to own Apple shit if you do "real work" aka working on the kernels that run the world and actual desktop applications. That and editing video. All the high end stuff you need to work with video is tied to *nix now. Used to be tied to Windows and before that Amiga. But now everything is being done on *nix machines for encoding and editing. Where I work we even have our own fork of Xorg now because they refused to accept our patches for multi-monitor+HDR. We've been maintaining it ourselves since 2016. Apple offers nothing for us to switch. We need high-end AMD64 CPUs and we need high-end GPUs.

It's shit and I don't really care about it. Nothing I use day-to-day will ever go wayland-only. The group developing wayland-only shit is never going to develop or influence anyone that develops the shit I use. It's a bad protocol with a lot of problems that will never be fixed because they refuse to work with others. I am excited that a new Xorg fork might finally take the patches we've been trying to send upstream for YEARS. I've tried working with those people multiple times and they're all rude and most of them seem pretty stupid in my limited experience with them. We don't use Linux so it doesn't really effect us so I don't really care what they do. If I do need some wayland-only shit I can run it fine within Xorg. Note: I don't particularly like Xorg either.

Macs are fine. /g/ are just a bunch of projecting poorfags who paste the same copypastas over and over again, thinking they're original. Some people's biggest achievements in life are shitting in the /fag/ thread.

Apple Silicon machines are amazing. Shit is fast and you know everything works. Not to mention Apple quality trackpads, screens, sound, ecosystem integration etc etc.

Windows is pushing more and more ads and copilot bs into their OS, tho it stays undisputed king at gaming.

Linux is hit or miss (usually miss) where shit breaks at random when you need it to work. Even on LTS releases (t. daily drove diff versions of ubuntu lts for years with more issues than I'd like to have).

>>105982156
Its not the same and you know it. You get access to some POSIX tools but you can't compile your own kernel and you're in their walled garden. Plus you can't do a lot of things like I mentioned. The newer laptops have a bad CPU for such tasks and you aren't able to intensive tasks on it due to it not being able to keep itself cool and the fact that most everything is optimized for x86-64.

I was a big fan of Apple in the m68k, PowerPC, and even the early x86-64 days. But they started producing bullshit around the time their founder with ass cancer died. The hardware is no longer worth the price of admission and the software side of things is depressing. Let's be real here you can buy a $200 used thinkpad that's 4-6 years old and get a better computer. It'll also be repairable. So when the battery needs to be replaced or if you want to drop in more RAM/a SSD/CPU upgrade you can do so. Might even came with a touchscreen the last time I bought one. They usually come mostly untouched too. I think the last one I got was basically brand new and never used. Some company purchased it then it got re-sold when they upgraded without ever being put into use.

The market as a whole is shit. There is no reason to pay so much for the shit you're getting.

imagine buying an oversized iphone that you couldn't repair at all.

>Linux is hit or miss
If you want Unix use a *BSD. Linux sucks because every distro is someone tossing a bunch of shit together. It always breaks because upstream is retarded.

With the BSDs you get a kernel developed in tandem with the base system. Which is the init, coreutils and a bunch of other tools. That also includes the display server in most of them. This way you have a guarantee that the system won't randomly break because you pulled updates. The base system will just werk no matter what you do with ports. You get all the stuff you like about Linux in an OS that doesn't move so quickly. When they do make a major change you know it's coming for months and can prepare for it. Or you can hold back on the old version and get backports for security updates. It's the best middle ground currently if you don't want to fuck with maintaining your OS all of the time. Plus you get stuff like ZFS by default without all the autism that comes along with using such things with the Linux kernel.

Long story short don't fall for the "cuck license" shitposts. Don't listen to GNU zealots (but do use their software).

>>105985967
16GB of RAM is starting to become an issue even if you're not doing much. Firefox and Chrome love to gobble up RAM like crazy now. I've had to resort to using compression on my machine with 16GB of RAM to work day-to-day now. Not sure if you can do that on Apple shit.

If you build stuff from source RAM is starting become more of a problem than it already was. All these fad languages require tons of it at build time.

>>105986023
apple implemented memory compression 10 years ago, apple silicon has hardware memory compression so it's more efficient and faster than any x86 solution

You have to keep up with the bloat. I built a machine in 2013 with 16GB of RAM. It was fine for about 10 years. But the last few years have been an issue with a lot of the stuff I do for no good reason. Too many people shipping shit now that consumes tons of RAM for no reason other than they're lazy and refuse to optimize anything.

>>105986301
>for no reason other than they're lazy and refuse to optimize anything
the reason is that RAM is vastly cheaper than my time and if you can't afford RAM I'm probably not interested whether you can run my shit

>>105986359
No you're just a lazy faggot and your time isn't worth shit if you can't do simple things like not consuming 4+GB of RAM for no reason. If you software can't run on a 486 you have no business writing software.

>>105986401
>If you software can't run on a 486 you have no business writing software.
kek you're free to write it yourself

>>105986428
I do and I don't require an entire browser engine to do it.

>>105986506
>I do
>But the last few years have been an issue with a lot of the stuff I do for no good reason. Too many people shipping shit now that consumes tons of RAM
I don't see the issue then

>>105986528
The issue is you faggots have normalized a culture of being lazy as fuck and pushing more and more bloat on end users. Along with that you insist on pushing shit like Rust on to end users. Which makes older machines obsolete for no reason. When you're told this the answer is always
>Get with the times and buy a new PC, what are you poor?
You know just because something built on your dev machine doesn't mean it works as intended everywhere. Also you faggots seem hell bent on doing anything but making decent GUIs. It's like you're retarded and don't know how to properly place buttons to the most used functions of an application. You don't have any problem linking to discord and whatever digital tin cup you're begging for donations with though.

It'd ridiculous and I'm tired of seeing it. You only get away with it because the hardware vendors need and excuse to sell the same hardware they were selling 10 years ago. Only slightly renamed and in a new form factor sometimes. If software wasn't getting shitter by the year new devices wouldn't be required the moment the end user's contract or warranty is about to run out. You would not be getting away with this type of bullshit in 1998.

anon is sort of right. ideally business software should run on a whole bunch of different configs, and you can always be certain someone goes full jew and gets underpowered shit to save money.
> like not consuming 4+GB of RAM for no reason.
that's just shit design of the operating system. it's very bloated. this is why you never buy 8gb versions of macs. not only does your ram disappear it'll thrash the fuck out of your ssd by constantly reading/writing virtual memory.

do you expect people to program in assembly???
>ok so I want an excellent, smooth as fuck GUI but also you have to fit within 64kb of RAM because what if I go back to my parents and want to use my pentium II desktop
you're like those people screeching that people dare to use jquery (30KB! the horror) or whatever makes-JS-easier-to-use library is in vogue, while the average page contains 5MB of tracking scripts and 25MB of unoptimized pictures

fact of the matter is, hardware is cheap as fuck nowadays and nobody but autists really give a shit if something takes 50MB ram or 250MB ram. for that matter, nobody really gives a shit if you want to use a device from 2008 or are extremely compute-starved because cheap customers are cunts anyways
fuckin budget chinkphones have 8gb ram

>>105986845

apple don't get away with it, which is why their computer market so tiny and why their reputation is bad. the majority of apple's profits in current year come from iphone/ipad/and related services. even they don't give a fuck about their computers anymore.

>>105986965
anon was right.
>nobody but autists
this is how you can tell you're permanently unemployed and know absolutely nothing about computers, operating systems or programming languages.
> but it has 8gb ram!

unheard of on PCs, and yet you curryniggers defend it with "jus werx fer me!"
just because you're in the 36.5% survivor group doesn't make your currynigger trash any good
this list goes on forever
there's no PC laptop as total fucking currynigger shit as crapple's streetshitter books
they are the biggest heaps of steaming currynigger shit in the history of computing second only to curryPhones

The people I know who own Macs literally never go any other direction. Their laptops last like a decade+ without a hitch. Mac has smaller market share because they have higher standards and insist on black box hardware and tight coupling between their computer and the OS. It also used to be much more expensive in the 2000's so PC was the more accessible entry point for the family computer.

The price gap has shrunk and people have realized the value of an OS/hardware dynamic that is coupled and optimized, especially while Microsoft goes off on an endless bloat and forced update tangent.

>>105987149
>Mac has smaller market share because they have higher standards
that's not how it works. at all.

>>105987149
get a toilet currynigger

Bought a maxed out MBP 15" 10 years ago and while it's still good on paper, apple rendered it useless.

Can't update OS, can't install updated apps like Blender or Web browsers. The battery is also a pain to replace and only chink low quality replicas are available.

So yeah, I don't think I'd buy it again

>>105987174

Yes it is dipshit. Higher price, more limitations, less evangelism. No one myself included ever claimed Mac or MacOS runs worse than Windows or a PC, we hated that they were double the price, uncustomizable, fashion objects.

it is rather odd that poojets STILL keep repeating it despite 16GB being the minimum since last year and despite M1 releasing with 8GB RAM in 2020 and it actually not happening
