1st time viewer and using Gnu-Linux with KDE Plasma, Budgie and LXqt Desktop environments, depending on the resources available. How about doing benchmark testing
The most crucial difference between Linux and Mac or windows is, if you don’t like something, you can change it. The customization is almost unlimited. Different with the other two.
@@uncoverplus No one really uses oob systems. I think we're more insteresteted what is harder to change or takes more time to setup properly. I don't really use DE I use hyprland on my work laptop and on my old personal that I rarely use I have i3.

macOS caters to voice control for people with disabilities, you can use the entire OS by only voice, and it can read any text to you. People who only use touch have trackpad gestures. Or you can use it only with keyboard shortcuts. Or you cajole use it with advanced devices for people who have limited mobility. macOS has all of this built in because they need to be prepared for any possible user, and they are one of the best for blind or disabled users. Whereas Linux lets you do whatever you want and be as minimal as you want. So people who use MacOS are generally using a fraction of the capabilities of the OS, and unfortunately the rest becomes bloat that they can’t uninstall. Linus has less accessibility built in, but you could add it. However obviously for a person with limitations having to learn how to add it, when you have trouble seeing or hearing or moving would be nearly impossible for some people. So Linux gives more flexibility, and a leaner system, but its also more limited out of the box for a huge number of people.
@@uncoverplus its quite appropriate term....GNOME has nicest UI and UX design much better workflow than windows and mac on other hand it still lacks good fractional scaling which is a deal breaker for using GNOME as daily driver. Fractional Scaling is a must have if you want to use hidpi screens
This was more of a comparison Between Gnome DE and macOS But I understand it's hard to define, you could theoretically say that Wayland Pipewire systemd and GNU Utils are what makes a Linux Desktop. It's still a good video!
macOS is like a polished version of linux. I can do everything a Linux computer can, but I have way more apps available and less crap to modify to make things work trough the command line.
A flash drive that you intend to use with multiple different operating systems should ideally be formatted in ExFAT, not FAT32. You can do that from MacOS, Linux, or Windows.
The trackpad gestures in macOS is what eventually got me to stop using mice all together. I now prefer the trackpad, and even have one for desktop use. I have yet to use any non-Apple trackpad that even comes close to the quality and usability, so I can understand why people prefer not to use trackpads when they aren't a Mac user.
I use both mouse and trackpad, even more than 10 years in apple trackpad a good hi quality gaming mouse still more precisely and more productive if it's the jobs that focus on cursor movement. For my job most of the time I'm stay on keyboard so hand movement to trackpad are shorter than mouse and can be switched back to keyboard immediately so most of the time good trackpad is good enough with lower overhead on switching😊
@@uncoverpluswith many desktop in Mac os. I using the logitech mouse have logi option or G-hub if using G-series. That is the easy assign genius touch previous-next desktop on the mac.
My problem with MacOS and Windows is that you NEED to learn to adapt to the devices you're running them on, as opposed to Linux, which feels thoughtfully put together, and if you don't like something on Gnome, you can just make tweaks better suited for yourself.
Or even just use a different desktop environment. While technically you can also do so on Windows and macOS, it isn't nearly as practical or supported as it is on Linux. I've jumped from Unity, GNOME, KDE, i3, XMonad, Hyprland, Labwc, LXDE and more just because. The amount of freedom Linux gives is unmatched, I'll never be able to own a Windows or macOS machine ever again.
Cut and paste on a mac is there, it's just different. Use copy as normal, then after right clicking at the destination folder, simply hold the option key, to change the 'Paste Item' entry into 'Move Item Here'. That's just the mac way, the option key affect other context menus too.
For file transfer between Android and Mac you can use same old KDE connect that we had in GNOME (GS Connect), isn't as perfect as linux breaks a lot but when it works its still the best option we have Btw we're on same boat XD Macbook air m1 GNOME Flutter
Nice suggestion. Although I don't copy much stuff to or from my phone to my desktops. Haha noice and wow you're into flutter too. Do leave a sub if you find this video cool!
@@uncoverplusAlso a solution to that minimise issue you can use cmd + h (Hide window) then window will show up while using cmd + tab. Plus, Karabiner elements is very good tool to customise the keybindings.
There seems to be a basic misunderstanding of how macOS works vis-a-vis apps and documents/windows. There are no multiple instances of an app as in Windows or Linux. The macOS has only ONE instance of a running app. For clarity, we're talking windowed (graphical) apps here, not background processes/tasks - macOS behind the scenes is a variant of Unix and supports multiple processes just like Linux, or SysV, or BSD. A single graphical app instances provide the app's MENU BAR, which must be present to provide the minimal set of menus: File, Edit, ... Help. If the app has several documents open, they are being managed within the ONE app instance. When you close all the documents of an app, it is up to the app developer as to whether the app quits or stays running. In most cases, apps that handle multiple documents stay running to coninue providing the menu bar which can then be used to open new document windows, edit app preferences, or display help info, or quit the app, if the user so chooses. Apps that only support a single window (e.g. Disk Utility) will quit when the window is closed because there are no other useful menu functions without the open window. In those cases re-launching the app will show the app's menu bar and re-open the single window. There are shorter short-cuts to show all the desktops or app windows. These are generally assigned to hot corners. For instance, I have the top-left corner assigned to reveal all the open windows ("Mission Control") and the top-right corner to engage the screen saver. The reviewer correctly mentions that Shift-Command-N creates a new folder in the Finder, but expected the Enter key to open that folder. What he wanted was Command-DownArrow, which opens the selected folder. Once in that folder, Command-UpArrow navigates up one folder level. The Shift-Command-G combo opens a dialog which allows any path to be arbitrarily typed, with a list of available sub-folders from whatever path you've typed, and of course, tab key auto-completion. It even supports Unix-style "~" for home folder starting point and slash path separators (e.g. "~/Downloads/My Folder/). You'll find that Finder folder navigation is quite easy and quick in macOS without ever touching the mouse or trackpad. There are many other examples of where, with a little extra time on macOS, he would have found everything he needed. He still might not have been happy with the available functions, but those are personal preferences. I use Linux Mint regularly as a second OS and constantly wish they did things more like macOS. Again... personal preference. IMO, the Mac is neither better nor worse than Linux or Windows, just different. When you spend a great deal of time with an OS you get used to the patterns of interaction. Personally I think Linux has many difficult paths to functions that are simple on macOS. It's just a matter of what you're used to.
When I have more time, I plan to transform a retro gaming Optiplex I have into a triple booted system, with Windows 7, Linux, and MacOS. Then I'll have the ultimate $100 PC!
You can move files somewhere else. You need to press cmd + c to copy them and then you need to press option + cmd + v to move them into the destination directory.
honestly i'll never go mac because of a few things: 1. price 2. programs (there is that wine type thing for mac but linux just has a bigger gaming community) 3. customization
As a mobile developer, I must say mac >> windows, Mac ,windows, linux are just tools in the end . The amount of time mac saves me from the build time is not something you get from windows laptop
You do pay more for Mac hardware, but park the software/operating system differences aside, and I challenge you to find a non Apple laptop for the same price as a base level MacBook Pro, that has Speakers, Display, Trackpad and Keyboard anywhere close to those found on a MacBook Pro? Mac OS is nicer looking, but from a usability perspective, nothing touches vanilla Gnome for me. I just wish I could natively run any Linux distro on the new Apple Silicon macs, as that'd be my ideal set up, i.e. Apple Silicon MBP with Vanilla Gnome.
edit - on the file manager i will hard disagree Nautilus is quite possibly the worst file manager i have ever used in linux world. Thunar and Dolphin(the kde one) is far far superior in every way shape and form. me a window manager(hyprland) user be like - peasants stuck on their desktop environment. the terminal is my environment. (but for better or for worse) its either you fix your issue in 2 minutes or you nuke your entire desktop nothing in between
I switched from Windows to Linux Mint to Ubuntu and to Fedora. Now, I don't need anything, except a Lenovo Thinpad P variant with Fedora 40. WOW, can't wait.
For the cut and paste: Copy the files as usual and right click to paste. Press the option key on your keyboard and the right click menu's 'paste' option will change to 'move'. This actually is an equally good implementation but in my eyes, is a better implementation as it discourages the use of cut and paste (while also removing two buttons/options in the right click menu). This is a good thing because if you're cutting and pasting files, and the transfer doesn't complete successfully for what-ever-reason, you could end up with corrupted files on both sides. So better practice is copy and paste the file. If successful, confirm the pasted file's integrity(open it to see if everything looks good) and then delete the previous files. This way you don't risk the chance of losing your data if something goes wrong (which happens often when transferring large files specially with external usb devices involved). But, if you still want to cut and paste because the file isn't so important and you're in the flow of moving something to a usb to test something for example, sure, right click as usual and just press the option key to replace the paste option with move.
Wtf dude! How does the rest of the world use cut paste? Did you ever hear someone corrupted a file trying to cut-paste? Cut-paste is nothing but copy-paste-delete. The OS should be able to do that. It knows whether a copy was successful or not. Dragging and dropping is way more stupid because you have to open two windows or tabs, then open the desired directories, then drag, wtf? Sure it works when you have both open. But it's not always convenient. You know what's convenient? Having both drag-n-drop and cut-paste, which Windows and Linux have. When you actually need to move something, you should not need to perform an extra step, whether it's going back to delete the source files after copy, or pressing the modifier key to bring the menu option. That menu already contains some stupid options, keeping the move by default wouldn't hurt. Some stupid will argue that cut behavior needs to be consistent with how cutting text works. Well, that's BS. Text sizes are insignificant, while files can be 100s GB. And cutting files does not create any possibility of corrupting files, because it will just copy first, verify the destination, then delete the source. That's how drag and drop works. Do you fear, OH MY FILES WILL BE CORRUPTED IF THIS DROP IS UNSUCCESSFUL! (Drag and drop failure can occur when the file size is too large, but that should not corrupt your files, just like cut paste. It's a binary operation, either failed or successful, no in between). (I wrote this essay in response to your essay)
@@mhosain if you copy a folder with thousands of tiny program files, it can get tricky finding out what got copied over from each folder and what didn't. The program overall won't be able to execute due to the missing files. I have had files corrupt even when this wasn't the case. With a simple cut and paste, next thing you know, the transfer box goes missing and the files are neither here nor there. They won't open on either side. I have experienced this multiple times personally. Unfortunately, that's not how the cut and paste function has functioned in real life for me. For whatever reason, I can testify that I have had this issue over a period of many years every now and then. I will say that it was always the case when dealing with usb 2.0 drives. But yeah. Theory is one thing. Reality is another.
@@ZeerakImran I have never lost files on linux in 24 years but I have lost files in MacOS in 4 years. MacOS handles the situation very poorly if the transfer gets interrupted and you need to restart.
You don't have to pay for linux as it can be installed in any pc whereas you have to pay for mac os as it is a apple based product and work only in macbook
“How is there this big of a gap…” There isn’t. Linux copied that feature from MacOS. I remember using it back in 2011 with OSX Lion. There is a single key keyboard shortcut that allows you to do that… it’s one of the function keys. Mac did it first. One thing to remember is that Linux is open source and depending on which Linux you have affects which packages are installed initially when you set up the OS. Additionally even that can be customized. macOS comes initially installed and set up a certain way. Almost everything you mentioned about Linux can also be done in MacOS. I utilize both Linux, windows and MacOS as part of my job for over 20 years. Single most difficult thing to do on my Mac is game. It’s not because the hardware and software cannot support it, it’s because of the rules and licensing cost that Apple places on potential game developers to maintain security of its OS.
You mean the costs for licensing it for the App Store? I think macOS is the smoothest operating system of the big 3. However I see signs of macOS becoming more locked down like IOS. I hate that as a power user. If they one day will not let you use software from outside of the App Store I will no longer use it.
@8:33 you should try the ExFat format. It is much better for USB flash drives than NTFS. You would be able to read and write to it from both Mac OS and Windows.
About file managers, I don't like a lot of things about kde, but dolphin is great. Really love splitting the window and it's many useful resources, one complaint is I find the UI a but cluttered.
Lovely video! May I kindly ask you what is the "theme" of your icons on your Linux installation? I am learning to use PopOS! and Fedora. Also, how do you get cloud storage in Linux? I use OneDrive on my Windows and Mac devices but can't find a version for Linux, so have you managed to make OneDrive to talk to Linux somehow? Thank you!!
Hi there, I used OneDriver for a long time (google jstaf onedriver), its the best onedrive solution I have found for Linux. However, the VERY BEST solution is to stop using OneDrive and move all your stash to Dropbox instead. I did that and Im very happy I did.
I'm a little late here, but there are a handful of tutorials to mount OneDrive as a network drive, which can be googled. It's not very fast, though, there is a bit of waiting when browsing folders and doing actions to files. It's not as good as a native client. I found that moving many small files was EXTREMELY slow using this method, sadly. If you can afford too use a different cloud provider, though, Mega has a native linux client that works well and works just like the Mac and Windows versions. I wound up switching after getting fed up with the 1D performance.
Yeah OneDrive are not supported officially. Neither does Google Drive. I tried using many unofficial method and found no satisfication with it, usually works really slow. If you can afford to change service, I would recommend two alternative: - Dropbox: Native Linux client since beginning, fast and support LAN sync if you have multiple devices. Pricing is weird, they only offer premium pricing, nothing under 2TB plan available unlike Google Drive and Onedrive. Free version will only gives you 2GB and maximum 3 simultaneous devices. - Mega: Now this is another recommendation after so many years struggle finding the one that suit my need. They provide 20 GB free storage (with limited download quota per 6 hours) and their lowest pro plan (pro lite) is only 5 EUR for 400GB. I works with source codes, even with Git and stuff I still need to find way to make synchronizing my work with PC and Laptop as seamless as possible and MEGA support SYNC IGNORE dictated by text file akind of .gitignore. Thank good I can finally exclude node_modules from syncing to the cloud.
Brother you presentation was so clean and crisp ofc like mrwtb... #one more suggestion , in animation keep showing the points or star, so audience can follow the completion..rather u describing the point everytime 👋🙂
There are things that you can do on a Mac, but you just don’t know how to do, and therefore you seem to have assumed that they can’t be done on a Mac. For example, you can browse between the different open windows of an application using cmd+’. Or, you can move copied files to other locations by pressing alt/opt key while pasting. Not to mention, a lot of people seem to think that if a feature doesn’t work in the exact same way as it works in a system they are already familiar with, then it’s not implemented correctly, or that it’s inconvenient. That’s just a bias towards familiarity and not an objective evaluation of the relative benefits. Two different systems obviously will do things differently, and the system you are family with will seem more convenient to you because you already know how to use it. Coming from the other round, some of the points you “give” to Mac are more about the ecosystem rather than the Mac in and of itself. In other words, it’s not an apple to apples comparison (pun slightly intended 😉)
Mac have been compromising their products and software to push us users to their subscriptions. I’m slowly getting fed up with them and am looking to break the cycle
You can cut and paste on mac actually but it isn't as intuitive as on other OS, let me explain... -> For copying a file you would do the intuitive: cmd+c and then cmd+v in the appropriate location. -> For moving a file you would do: cmd+c and then cmd+opt+v this will move the file in the appropriate location. And if you are in habit of using the terminal and ofcourse you have you handy dandy cp and mv commands same as Linux :)
The thing with Linux that blows my mind is, if you have a mild idea of what you are doing (which doesn't take more than a month to acquire), you can absolutely wreck havoc on your OS, but then, by some unspoken magic, also realize that you have the power to unscrew it. For instance, if I wanted to a system variable in Linux, I could do so easily via vim ~/.bashrc and be done with it, but I also know that if I make any changes and save these changes (source this file) I could always revert it to original or do a echo-spree to add basic commands to add the tools required to re-edit the file and restore things without loosing my changes (which would be the case if you restored this). In windows, I would have to take a backup of the registry and pray to god that I don't encounter any errors. In my mind, Linux is the ideal OS and Windows Subsystem for Linux the ideal compromise if working in windows is a requirement.
MacOS does things in it's own way. Probably that's why some people find it very unproductive. I daily drive a linux machine and I would never buy a MacBook if we have something equivalent to the new Apple Silicone SoC. This is a deal breaker for me.
@@uncoverplus what do you think about the new Intel Ultra chipsets? And even there's a Qualcomm X Elite coming around this April, what do you think about that?
@@uncoverplus i would say Intel is going in the right direction but finally they have just managed to catch-up with Apple. Yet to see how the X Elite does compared to M2 and M3.
@@uncoverplus I like the design as well, that's something Gnome got right for the most part. KDE is getting there on baby steps with their defaults, but if you enjoy setting things up you can make it pretty.
I'm a full time Fedora user but at my university we only have windows and Macs. MacOS is a perfectly usable system, that doesn't get in my way, I prefer it to whatever windows is nowadays. Linux is definitely my favorite. I run GNOME with Forge and a couple extra extensions (like full screen toggle, removable drives menu, quick audio panel, and GSConnect) For "Airdrop" I use Warp which is amazing replacement and I host files in the Public folder as well as my NAS. And I have theming for Firefox, vesktop and many others to look exactly like the rest of GNOME Apps (Adwaita) The efficiency, simplicity and the stylishness of GNOME make it my favorite environment to get work done
Bad comparison. It’s just a rant about how he likes his Linux shortcuts over macs genstures. Here’s what he didn’t mention: you don’t see MS Office open on the Linux. If you’re gonna compare, be thorough and fair
um he did mention it and who cares about ms office when there is the clearly SUPERIOR google docs (I don't really like libre office). tho the video is fair and he didn't even specify that kde connect (the thing for having cool features between your phone and computer) also works with gnome perfectly
To cut a file follow this, COPY a file, then go the directory where you want to cut it. right click, press and hold OPTION from keyboard. Walhala, More permanently is here.
Funny that linux is free and apple is very expensive but is based on linux too. So i just buy chips for 4k. And chips are very cheap on market but not apple. Like caviar or gold but those a cheap compared to apple.
I love my Linux experience which is just Debian with openbox and tint2. It is very fast and snappy even on my 2011 MacBook Air, whereas MacOS feels so slow on it, but it is so pretty in comparison
I have used Windows, Linux, and macOS extensively for my daily driver and work. I use macOS for my daily driver as a developer and the hardware is nice but macOS really sucks and is a complete nightmare the way it manages application windows. In my opinion, Windows 11 is the best operating system but Linux isn't terrible but still doesn't have proprietary software like Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite products and can be a nightmare drivers to work with Nvidia and other hardware. It doesn't matter who's fault it is, it's just a reality.
If you own an iPad and iPhone than Mac wins If you use Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro or even MS Office, than Mac wins If you really want to use the Mx chips with their speed and low power consumption, than Mac wins If you don't have application dependencies or device interactions, than Linux is a better OS
For daily use both macos and gnome on fedora, I'm not agree with you for comparing orange with apple but yes, I still get your point. For gnome it is good for speeder style everything is fast and very productive, but on macos you have to slowdown things and more thinking and more feeling. It give me more imagination more creativity on apple environment. Feeling is not someting we can get it right away. As a more than 12 years mac user the feeling and philosophy in design language on macos is very strong and consistency, I really like it. And for 6 years in linux I really like how productive how flexibility how customizability on my workflows on linux. Then I love both, but if I have to choose one, It will always be macos😊
You can set the Dock on macOS to automaticly hide. Also for using exposé/mission control you press the F3. There is no snapping window on macOS, I use app called Rectangle. It is free and it has the same snapping feautre like Windows. Also I just laerned to close apps using Cmd + Q. You can cut things in macOS. You will use Cmd + C, but while pasting you will use Cmd + Option + V and this is how you will cut files and texts on macOS. For writing to NTFS you need 3rd party app for it. My dad who works for Microsoft here in Czechia says, that NTFS is the worst file system ever. Also I have all my disks formated to exFAT to use it on both macOS and Windows.
I use BetterTouchTool which adds snapping plus a ridiculous amount of customization. You can even use MIDI devices to trigger macros and shortcuts! It’s $22 for lifetime license but totally worth it.
In the Finder, pressing return will allow you to rename the file/folder. Command + O opens it. While I prefer the cut-and-paste interface used in most OSes, moving a file in the Finder can be done with Command + Option + V and via the File menu. Cumbersome but possible.
I love linux for my daily office use. I am using Ubuntu as my daily office companion since 6 years. Its awesome and being more and more stable now a days. However there are still glitches, hang up issues, Display driver problem etc. The main thing which annoys me most that the absence of official MS Teams app. I use PWA for that though it has issues with notifications.
You don't know how to use macos I tell you that. You 'can' get to minimized apps if you do cmd+h instead of cmd+m, you can switch between windows of the same app with cmd+tilde. Many other things are also possible, I just won't write them all.
LOL Well Done Sir! Excellent Video I've been a Linux n00b since '97: Love It, but I picked up an M1 MacMini just to see how the processor ran a few years ago.. I Ended up changing my Main EcoSystem to Apple, Phones, iPad.... The Seemless integration I could never create on my own without 20 different apps in Linux; was the Selling Point. And I hated Apple, Especially Intel Gen New Sub; Detroit, Michigan, US
I used Linux for almost 2 years, i have learnt many things from youtube and websites. It is one of the easiest and fastest OS one could use, better than windows. But i have encountered 2 major issues 1) battery drain 2) somehow i was not able to connect my laptop to public wifi where one need to log in through internet vouchers
I’m an enthusiast of Mac OS, Windows, and Linux. They all have their pros and cons but your comparison, with all due respect is biased. Of course, people will find it wierd to work on an OS they not used to in comparison to what they’re currently proficient in.
Linux will always win, against both Mac and Windows, I used to be a Mac and Windows user now I would never touch these trashy OS! I don't want crazy big companies monitoring my data and watching me all the time, using my device resources for their stupid forced app! I can talk all the day why I would never use them
I think Gnome is a good choice for a lot of people out of the box, all the people I have worked with who were using gnome said that it was natural and intuitive, unlinke MacOs which gave me wrist pain in the first week of usage since mouse usage is really high in macos for some reason.
Its more like macOS vs Gnome, theres way more to Linux than gnome. Nevertheless I liked the video. Its a fair comparison of both desktop environments. I personally prefer gnome over everything because of the workflow. Its extremely unique and it feels right at home. I love how clean the desktop looks without desktop icons or a dock. And the workspace-centric design makes it by far the best implementation of workspaces on any operating system. I also think that adwaita is the best default theme on the market right now. Its extremely readable, user friendly and looks beautiful.
Well I use windows and Mac all day I sometimes boot into linux but Found it extemely painful as I hate GIMP and getting Affinity designer 2 to work on bottles or Lutris is not working at all for me . Davinci resolve is great for editing if you have a GeForce card Good luck getting it to work on a Laptop. Wayland is still trash need to stick to X11 if you want stability.
MacOS workflow is a mess and several steps behind Windows(as much as I don't like windows, I hate using macos), it is not even on the level of Windows Vista 😅🤣
Dolphin is the best file manager in the entire Linux universe. (I too use Nautilus but I can't deny Dolphin have way more useful features with make it the best)
I would say Open Source softwares are best cause you contribute to their development and also you stop money hungry organizations from taking over the world
Well, almost everything you showed in this video on Mac OS, can be done in Linux, it would just take some tinkering to get done.. For example the seamless mouse from monitor to monitor will work with barrier (X11 only at this time, need to be updated to work with wayland) on Linux on Local shared network between the devices.. And I prefer FreeOffice, as it turns out it's the most compatible with Microsoft Office for Word, Excel, PowerPoint.. But if you use Publisher then you can use the latest scribus and it will give you the option to load Publisher documents directly.. And I prefer the LXQT Desktop on Linux anything else just isn't working for me, I need lightweight Environment, which Apple won't provide..
LibreOffice is a very competent alternative to MS-Office. Yes, you can nit-pick minor differences all day long, but I’ve used LibreOffice since its OpenOffice days, and find it more than adequte (Ok, I intensely dislike MS, but hey, who’s counting 😂…and Full-Disclosure - I donate yearly to the LibreOffice Foundation, among a few other FOSS)

A flash drive that you intend to use with multiple different operating systems should ideally be formatted in ExFAT, not FAT32. You can do that from MacOS, Linux, or Windows.
Thanks for the tip. I now use ExFAT!
The trackpad gestures in macOS is what eventually got me to stop using mice all together. I now prefer the trackpad, and even have one for desktop use. I have yet to use any non-Apple trackpad that even comes close to the quality and usability, so I can understand why people prefer not to use trackpads when they aren't a Mac user.
The trackpad is great but as I've mentioned I have two other desktops where I use the mouse so it becomes a problem.
I use both mouse and trackpad, even more than 10 years in apple trackpad a good hi quality gaming mouse still more precisely and more productive if it's the jobs that focus on cursor movement. For my job most of the time I'm stay on keyboard so hand movement to trackpad are shorter than mouse and can be switched back to keyboard immediately so most of the time good trackpad is good enough with lower overhead on switching😊

My problem with MacOS and Windows is that you NEED to learn to adapt to the devices you're running them on, as opposed to Linux, which feels thoughtfully put together, and if you don't like something on Gnome, you can just make tweaks better suited for yourself.
"Learn to adapt"
Aptly said!
Or even just use a different desktop environment. While technically you can also do so on Windows and macOS, it isn't nearly as practical or supported as it is on Linux.
I've jumped from Unity, GNOME, KDE, i3, XMonad, Hyprland, Labwc, LXDE and more just because. The amount of freedom Linux gives is unmatched, I'll never be able to own a Windows or macOS machine ever again.

Cut and paste on a mac is there, it's just different. Use copy as normal, then after right clicking at the destination folder, simply hold the option key, to change the 'Paste Item' entry into 'Move Item Here'.
That's just the mac way, the option key affect other context menus too.
For file transfer between Android and Mac you can use same old KDE connect that we had in GNOME (GS Connect), isn't as perfect as linux breaks a lot but when it works its still the best option we have

There seems to be a basic misunderstanding of how macOS works vis-a-vis apps and documents/windows. There are no multiple instances of an app as in Windows or Linux. The macOS has only ONE instance of a running app. For clarity, we're talking windowed (graphical) apps here, not background processes/tasks - macOS behind the scenes is a variant of Unix and supports multiple processes just like Linux, or SysV, or BSD. A single graphical app instances provide the app's MENU BAR, which must be present to provide the minimal set of menus: File, Edit, ... Help. If the app has several documents open, they are being managed within the ONE app instance. When you close all the documents of an app, it is up to the app developer as to whether the app quits or stays running. In most cases, apps that handle multiple documents stay running to coninue providing the menu bar which can then be used to open new document windows, edit app preferences, or display help info, or quit the app, if the user so chooses. Apps that only support a single window (e.g. Disk Utility) will quit when the window is closed because there are no other useful menu functions without the open window. In those cases re-launching the app will show the app's menu bar and re-open the single window.
There are shorter short-cuts to show all the desktops or app windows. These are generally assigned to hot corners. For instance, I have the top-left corner assigned to reveal all the open windows ("Mission Control") and the top-right corner to engage the screen saver.
The reviewer correctly mentions that Shift-Command-N creates a new folder in the Finder, but expected the Enter key to open that folder. What he wanted was Command-DownArrow, which opens the selected folder. Once in that folder, Command-UpArrow navigates up one folder level. The Shift-Command-G combo opens a dialog which allows any path to be arbitrarily typed, with a list of available sub-folders from whatever path you've typed, and of course, tab key auto-completion. It even supports Unix-style "~" for home folder starting point and slash path separators (e.g. "~/Downloads/My Folder/). You'll find that Finder folder navigation is quite easy and quick in macOS without ever touching the mouse or trackpad.
There are many other examples of where, with a little extra time on macOS, he would have found everything he needed. He still might not have been happy with the available functions, but those are personal preferences. I use Linux Mint regularly as a second OS and constantly wish they did things more like macOS. Again... personal preference.
IMO, the Mac is neither better nor worse than Linux or Windows, just different. When you spend a great deal of time with an OS you get used to the patterns of interaction. Personally I think Linux has many difficult paths to functions that are simple on macOS. It's just a matter of what you're used to.
When I have more time, I plan to transform a retro gaming Optiplex I have into a triple booted system, with Windows 7, Linux, and MacOS. Then I'll have the ultimate $100 PC!
You can move files somewhere else. You need to press cmd + c to copy them and then you need to press option + cmd + v to move them into the destination directory.
honestly i'll never go mac because of a few things:
1. price
2. programs (there is that wine type thing for mac but linux just has a bigger gaming community)
3. customization

To cut and paste on mac, copy the folder, then in the new folder you want to paste to, press option key and right click then choose "Move item here"
For the cut and paste: Copy the files as usual and right click to paste. Press the option key on your keyboard and the right click menu's 'paste' option will change to 'move'. This actually is an equally good implementation but in my eyes, is a better implementation as it discourages the use of cut and paste (while also removing two buttons/options in the right click menu). This is a good thing because if you're cutting and pasting files, and the transfer doesn't complete successfully for what-ever-reason, you could end up with corrupted files on both sides. So better practice is copy and paste the file. If successful, confirm the pasted file's integrity(open it to see if everything looks good) and then delete the previous files. This way you don't risk the chance of losing your data if something goes wrong (which happens often when transferring large files specially with external usb devices involved). But, if you still want to cut and paste because the file isn't so important and you're in the flow of moving something to a usb to test something for example, sure, right click as usual and just press the option key to replace the paste option with move.
Wtf dude! How does the rest of the world use cut paste? Did you ever hear someone corrupted a file trying to cut-paste? Cut-paste is nothing but copy-paste-delete. The OS should be able to do that. It knows whether a copy was successful or not. Dragging and dropping is way more stupid because you have to open two windows or tabs, then open the desired directories, then drag, wtf? Sure it works when you have both open. But it's not always convenient. You know what's convenient? Having both drag-n-drop and cut-paste, which Windows and Linux have.
When you actually need to move something, you should not need to perform an extra step, whether it's going back to delete the source files after copy, or pressing the modifier key to bring the menu option. That menu already contains some stupid options, keeping the move by default wouldn't hurt.
Some stupid will argue that cut behavior needs to be consistent with how cutting text works. Well, that's BS. Text sizes are insignificant, while files can be 100s GB. And cutting files does not create any possibility of corrupting files, because it will just copy first, verify the destination, then delete the source. That's how drag and drop works. Do you fear, OH MY FILES WILL BE CORRUPTED IF THIS DROP IS UNSUCCESSFUL! (Drag and drop failure can occur when the file size is too large, but that should not corrupt your files, just like cut paste. It's a binary operation, either failed or successful, no in between).

The program overall won't be able to execute due to the missing files. I have had files corrupt even when this wasn't the case. With a simple cut and paste, next thing you know, the transfer box goes missing and the files are neither here nor there. They won't open on either side. I have experienced this multiple times personally. Unfortunately, that's not how the cut and paste function has functioned in real life for me. For whatever reason, I can testify that I have had this issue over a period of many years every now and then. I will say that it was always the case when dealing with usb 2.0 drives. But yeah.

“How is there this big of a gap…”
There isn’t. Linux copied that feature from MacOS. I remember using it back in 2011 with OSX Lion. There is a single key keyboard shortcut that allows you to do that… it’s one of the function keys.
Mac did it first.
One thing to remember is that Linux is open source and depending on which Linux you have affects which packages are installed initially when you set up the OS. Additionally even that can be customized.
macOS comes initially installed and set up a certain way. Almost everything you mentioned about Linux can also be done in MacOS.
I utilize both Linux, windows and MacOS as part of my job for over 20 years.
Single most difficult thing to do on my Mac is game.
It’s not because the hardware and software cannot support it, it’s because of the rules and licensing cost that Apple places on potential game developers to maintain security of its OS.
You mean the costs for licensing it for the App Store?
I think macOS is the smoothest operating system of the big 3.
However I see signs of macOS becoming more locked down like IOS. I hate that as a power user. If they one day will not let you use software from outside of the App Store I will no longer use it.
Linux is Always the Best. Mac is not worth it
@8:33 you should try the ExFat format. It is much better for USB flash drives than NTFS. You would be able to read and write to it from both Mac OS and Windows.

Lovely video! May I kindly ask you what is the "theme" of your icons on your Linux installation? I am learning to use PopOS! and Fedora. Also, how do you get cloud storage in Linux? I use OneDrive on my Windows and Mac devices but can't find a version for Linux, so have you managed to make OneDrive to talk to Linux somehow? Thank you!!
Sure check the pinned comment for the Customization video. I have put it there since many of y'all are asking.
Thank you!
Hi there, I used OneDriver for a long time (google jstaf onedriver), its the best onedrive solution I have found for Linux. However, the VERY BEST solution is to stop using OneDrive and move all your stash to Dropbox instead. I did that and Im very happy I did.
there's Dropbox, Mega, and Cozy to name a few of the more popular ones
I'm a little late here, but there are a handful of tutorials to mount OneDrive as a network drive, which can be googled. It's not very fast, though, there is a bit of waiting when browsing folders and doing actions to files. It's not as good as a native client. I found that moving many small files was EXTREMELY slow using this method, sadly.
If you can afford too use a different cloud provider, though, Mega has a native linux client that works well and works just like the Mac and Windows versions. I wound up switching after getting fed up with the 1D performance.
Yeah OneDrive are not supported officially. Neither does Google Drive. I tried using many unofficial method and found no satisfication with it, usually works really slow.
If you can afford to change service, I would recommend two alternative:
- Dropbox: Native Linux client since beginning, fast and support LAN sync if you have multiple devices. Pricing is weird, they only offer premium pricing, nothing under 2TB plan available unlike Google Drive and Onedrive. Free version will only gives you 2GB and maximum 3 simultaneous devices.
- Mega: Now this is another recommendation after so many years struggle finding the one that suit my need. They provide 20 GB free storage (with limited download quota per 6 hours) and their lowest pro plan (pro lite) is only 5 EUR for 400GB. I works with source codes, even with Git and stuff I still need to find way to make synchronizing my work with PC and Laptop as seamless as possible and MEGA support SYNC IGNORE dictated by text file akind of .gitignore. Thank good I can finally exclude node_modules from syncing to the cloud.
Brother you presentation was so clean and crisp ofc like mrwtb... #one more suggestion , in animation keep showing the points or star, so audience can follow the completion..rather u describing the point everytime 👋🙂
Which linux version is it?
There are things that you can do on a Mac, but you just don’t know how to do, and therefore you seem to have assumed that they can’t be done on a Mac. For example, you can browse between the different open windows of an application using cmd+’. Or, you can move copied files to other locations by pressing alt/opt key while pasting.
Not to mention, a lot of people seem to think that if a feature doesn’t work in the exact same way as it works in a system they are already familiar with, then it’s not implemented correctly, or that it’s inconvenient. That’s just a bias towards familiarity and not an objective evaluation of the relative benefits. Two different systems obviously will do things differently, and the system you are family with will seem more convenient to you because you already know how to use it.
Coming from the other round, some of the points you “give” to Mac are more about the ecosystem rather than the Mac in and of itself. In other words, it’s not an apple to apples comparison (pun slightly intended 😉)
More like gnome vs macos xd
3:00 that's a true fact. Window Management is bad on Mac. You have to use apps like Rectangle to solve the problem

Linux is a place where learning is endless but if you are excited the journey would be of a rollercoaster and enjoyable at the same time.
Well said!
You can cut and paste on mac actually but it isn't as intuitive as on other OS, let me explain...
-> For copying a file you would do the intuitive: cmd+c and then cmd+v in the appropriate location.
-> For moving a file you would do: cmd+c and then cmd+opt+v this will move the file in the appropriate location.
And if you are in habit of using the terminal and ofcourse you have you handy dandy cp and mv commands same as Linux :)
The thing with Linux that blows my mind is, if you have a mild idea of what you are doing (which doesn't take more than a month to acquire), you can absolutely wreck havoc on your OS, but then, by some unspoken magic, also realize that you have the power to unscrew it. For instance, if I wanted to a system variable in Linux, I could do so easily via vim ~/.bashrc and be done with it, but I also know that if I make any changes and save these changes (source this file) I could always revert it to original or do a echo-spree to add basic commands to add the tools required to re-edit the file and restore things without loosing my changes (which would be the case if you restored this). In windows, I would have to take a backup of the registry and pray to god that I don't encounter any errors. In my mind, Linux is the ideal OS and Windows Subsystem for Linux the ideal compromise if working in windows is a requirement.
MacOS does things in it's own way. Probably that's why some people find it very unproductive.
I daily drive a linux machine and I would never buy a MacBook if we have something equivalent to the new Apple Silicone SoC. This is a deal breaker for me.

For gnome it is good for speeder style everything is fast and very productive, but on macos you have to slowdown things and more thinking and more feeling. It give me more imagination more creativity on apple environment. Feeling is not someting we can get it right away. As a more than 12 years mac user the feeling and philosophy in design language on macos is very strong and consistency, I really like it. And for 6 years in linux I really like how productive how flexibility how customizability on my workflows on linux. Then I love both, but if I have to choose one, It will always be macos😊
Double Commander is the best file manager on Linux, especially if you like shortcuts.
You can set the Dock on macOS to automaticly hide. Also for using exposé/mission control you press the F3. There is no snapping window on macOS, I use app called Rectangle. It is free and it has the same snapping feautre like Windows. Also I just laerned to close apps using Cmd + Q. You can cut things in macOS. You will use Cmd + C, but while pasting you will use Cmd + Option + V and this is how you will cut files and texts on macOS. For writing to NTFS you need 3rd party app for it. My dad who works for Microsoft here in Czechia says, that NTFS is the worst file system ever. Also I have all my disks formated to exFAT to use it on both macOS and Windows.
I use BetterTouchTool which adds snapping plus a ridiculous amount of customization. You can even use MIDI devices to trigger macros and shortcuts! It’s $22 for lifetime license but totally worth it.
In the Finder, pressing return will allow you to rename the file/folder. Command + O opens it.
While I prefer the cut-and-paste interface used in most OSes, moving a file in the Finder can be done with Command + Option + V and via the File menu. Cumbersome but possible.
I love linux for my daily office use. I am using Ubuntu as my daily office companion since 6 years. Its awesome and being more and more stable now a days. However there are still glitches, hang up issues, Display driver problem etc.
The main thing which annoys me most that the absence of official MS Teams app. I use PWA for that though it has issues with notifications.
You don't know how to use macos I tell you that. You 'can' get to minimized apps if you do cmd+h instead of cmd+m, you can switch between windows of the same app with cmd+tilde. Many other things are also possible, I just won't write them all.

2:28 bar won’t make much difference but turning on dark mode by holding brightness button is annoying. How biased are you😒
Well I use windows and Mac all day I sometimes boot into linux but Found it extemely painful as I hate GIMP and getting Affinity designer 2 to work on bottles or Lutris is not working at all for me . Davinci resolve is great for editing if you have a GeForce card Good luck getting it to work on a Laptop. Wayland is still trash need to stick to X11 if you want stability.
wdym "wayland is still trash" ??? like I never had any issues
If Linux supported affinity apps/adobe/Final Cut/etc, windows and Mac would be a distant thought.
MacOS workflow is a mess and several steps behind Windows(as much as I don't like windows, I hate using macos), it is not even on the level of Windows Vista 😅🤣
not a Mac user, i am a Linux enjoyer, tried the latest version of Gnome for Debian, I'll stick with Plasma thank you, just not my thing lol
Dolphin is the best file manager in the entire Linux universe. (I too use Nautilus but I can't deny Dolphin have way more useful features with make it the best)
I would say Open Source softwares are best cause you contribute to their development and also you stop money hungry organizations from taking over the world
Never used a Mac and never will. I prefer Linux. But not Gnome because I don't like it. MX Linux Xfce.
I used to use dual boot linux and windows, but now I'm using Mac book air. get best new experiences. and use Mac trackpad is the best for me.
Well, almost everything you showed in this video on Mac OS, can be done in Linux, it would just take some tinkering to get done..
For example the seamless mouse from monitor to monitor will work with barrier (X11 only at this time, need to be updated to work with wayland) on Linux on Local shared network between the devices..
And I prefer FreeOffice, as it turns out it's the most compatible with Microsoft Office for Word, Excel, PowerPoint.. But if you use Publisher then you can use the latest scribus and it will give you the option to load Publisher documents directly..
And I prefer the LXQT Desktop on Linux anything else just isn't working for me, I need lightweight Environment, which Apple won't provide..
I use onlyoffice, is there a difference between both onlyoffice and freeoffice ?
If ms office and adobe creative cloud came to linux the scene would change completely
LibreOffice is a very competent alternative to MS-Office.
Yes, you can nit-pick minor differences all day long, but I’ve used LibreOffice since its OpenOffice days, and find it more than adequte (Ok, I intensely dislike MS, but hey, who’s counting 😂…and Full-Disclosure - I donate yearly to the LibreOffice Foundation, among a few other FOSS)
