Thread: Installing mac(the noob way)

  1. #61
    I'd have to go a long way just for one of that..
    Like 3 km.I could take the bus though.
    Anyway this failed tranziition was good at something.
    After failing till 4 in the morning I decided to use the last DVD on The Chakra Project - Welcome
    I fell in love with it imediatly.
    Archlinux + KDE = win.

    looking nice. the problem with linux on the desktop is the bad support of the major commercial app companies. that's where osx fills the gap between linux and winblows

    That's around the distance between my house and school, and I go and return from it by foot. I think you're a bit lazy

    Sorry to hear the transition failed, heh.

    I have an idea don't know about it very much
    but i heard that many mac folks install snow leopard from an existing mac installation,
    so if SBfreak failed at installing Leopard(not snow), how about trying to upgrade from Tiger ?

    because i think there are "perfect?" AMD versions of Tiger around
    so i think a hardway would be:
    Tiger > Leopard > Snow Leopard




    OR @sbfreak, what about trying a Snow Leopard disc ?

    you can't 'upgrade'. the thing with installing 'from' existing installations is just installing it to another partition or disk with a few more options at hand ...

    i wasn't too sure of it if its a hackintosh anyway ,
    here where i got that info from:

    How-To: Upgrade To Snow Leopard — The Right Way | Cult of Mac

    Upgrade: This is the easiest option — simply upgrade. Install Snow Leopard right on top of your existing Leopard install. Apple recommends this, and in most cases it’ll be an easy, painless upgrade. Of course ‘painless’ is a relative term in Cupertino, and if our experiences upgrading from Tiger to Leopard are any indication, this option leaves us a bit wary. Not to mention, over time our computers become crud-magnets; collecting up all order of detritus.
    i thought it would be useful

    even though i can't claim to have a good overview, imo osx hardly fills any gaps that would make 90% of users want to switch platforms to a mac based one

    linux has the capacity to overcome all of these commercial OS's through its open source architecture, but as this would mean (significantly) less profit for major players, imo there is an intentional aim not to develop linux (and/or its apps) towards an 'easy to use for everyone' type of platform, which i see as the main reason why it hasn't spread more into the mainstream, so generally we have:

    linux: for advanced computer users, 'geeks'
    windows: mainstream
    mac: users having a higher financial status, a status symbol

    no, sadly quality is not a big factor regarding sales

    linux has the capacity to overcome all of these commercial OS's through its open source architecture
    how so?

    but as this would mean (significantly) less profit for major players, imo there is an intentional aim not to develop linux (and/or its apps) towards an 'easy to use for everyone' type of platform, which i see as the main reason why it hasn't spread more into the mainstream
    no, the main problem linux has is the lack of standards what makes it a real pita for developers. just have a look at the linux mods threads here.
    some linux companies tried to make that better by releasing 'enterprise' versions with more strict rules and some years ago there was a project called united linux but it failed ...

    so generally we have:

    linux: for advanced computer users, 'geeks'
    windows: mainstream
    mac: users having a higher financial status, a status symbol
    no, and i'm sorry to say it seems you're right about not having a deeper insight here.
    no offence

    are you sure this is such a big problem, as it seems that with a few tweaks it should work out:

    well, you might take a break and explain the error written here then, as maybe someone else could benefit from additional insight, instead of just dismissing it with a simple negation without explanation

    these things are not explained in 2 or 3 sentences. e.g. you need to know about app development in detail.
    i'm sorry but that's way too much.

    so generally we have:

    linux: for advanced computer users, 'geeks'
    windows: mainstream
    mac: users having a higher financial status, a status symbol
    I personally think he got those things right.
    Most mac and windows users are not geeks.
    Windows and mac are praised as better because of the user friendliness and visuals.
    Most linux users don't even care about both.
    And the fact that Os X only works on macs which are quite expensive motivates slik's opinion about mac.
    users having a higher financial status

    these are the cliches, yes, but it dösn't reflect the real pros and cons of the 3 systems
