Of course, that does not mean that OSX is bad because it does not have those 'features', but for me, Linux (Ubuntu) is a winner.Īnd, I am kind of tired of that Photoshop argument against Linux. Without having much experience with OSX, I would say that Linux have these advantages:ġ - Upgrading to the next major release is freeĢ - The update via Synaptic updates all your softwaresģ - For power users, it's a dream come true.Ħ - Can install on a variaty of hardwares (low and high specs)Ĩ - Can be as simple or as complicated as you wantĩ - Gives you the choice of your GUI (Gnome, KDE, other.) The disadvantage is that even a power user is forever tied to the level of a beginner. The advantage of a small set of simple options is that a beginner can soon figure out how to use the system. This made sense at the time, because they were/are desperate for market share. Inconceivably stupid.įrom what I can tell, advanced options are hidden in OS X. Modularity is one of the great things that results from using UNIX as a base, and they threw it out the window. I'd excuse that, if only it was possible to change, but it's not. In general, they sacrificed usability for good first impressions they threw in their own corporate branding at every turn the interface is different just for the sake of being different (bad thing,) and they hid all their advanced options. You have to look at that same old terrible theme, with that same old annoying dock, and it's a major pain in the neck to change it.

OS X is rigidly locked and un-customizable. I don't read something until I need it, then I feel like a fool for taking the long way around :P The more you use the Multi-Touch trackpad, the more you’ll wonder what you ever did without it.

If you’re coming from a right-click world, you can right-click with two fingers or configure a right-click area on the trackpad. Using the new four-finger swipe gesture, swipe up or down to access Exposé modes and left or right to switch between open applications. Rotate to adjust an image with your fingertips. Swipe with three fingers to flip through your photo libraries.

Use two fingers to scroll up and down a page. Now that Multi-Touch gestures have come to MacBook, all the function is in your fingers. No separate button means there’s 39 percent more room for your fingers to move on the silky glass surface. The amazing new trackpad doubles as a button - just press down anywhere and consider it clicked. This is from the Apple site for the new macbooks
