Apple doesn't really do anything like that, so you end up reading a bunch of disorganized threads on random mac forums, hoping someone has a diagnosis/fix. There, you either file a bug or find an existing bug, which serves as a central clearinghouse where people really try to determine the root cause of the problem and fix it. That way of debugging problems really sucks compared to what I was used to from previously running Debian. Eventually I settled on writing a script that just did a 'killall systemstats' every 5 minutes.
2014 MACBOOK PRO WEIGHT TRIAL
So it was trial and error, things like manually deleting some BerkeleyDB files to see if that'd solve the problem, someone even suggesting resetting PRAM, whatever that means. Looking around the internet, some other people had the issue, and had all sorts of possible ways to fix it, with no solid confirmation from Apple of anything, and fixes that didn't work. This was triggered by all sorts of things, from the daily Spotlight indexing, to clicking on the power display on the top/right menu bar (essentially anything that invoked systemstats would cause it to go haywire).

Everything feels very opaque and inscrutable in comparison to the Linux world.Įxample: I had a recurring issue on a MacBook Pro after upgrading from 10.6.x to 10.9.x where some process called 'systemstats' would balloon to taking 4gb of RAM or so, usually for about an hour. The bad is that if something doesn't work, it's much harder to debug, and the support is much worse. The good is that many things do often "just work": wifi, multiple monitors, sleep, etc. I also run OSX largely for those reasons, but it's been quite frustrating in some ways that Linux isn't. I have kind of mixed opinions on that part. Want to be beat up online-yea, I'm getting old.) I used to never back down from a physical fight now I don't I would actually be concerned about the backlash from a post? TheseĪre just my, probally off base, thoughts. And no, I don't dislike Apple I'm just not the fan I was a few years ago. Simple to use operating system not tied to Apple, but uses that beautiful So call me stupid, but I have been passively waiting for an To the terms & conditions because it is 56 pages) Why do I own twoĪpple computers-I acccepted them in barter for services. I don't like agreeing to 56? pages of legal stuff- I don't read on Itunes.(Actually, I can'tĭownload from Itunes because I refuse to agree to that I'm not upset with Apple-just tired of updating operating systems-then some programs and externals stop working. I know they are suspose to be locked down, but I find I just don't use my Apple products, besides the Ipad, for most of my projects. I have always had a hard time with tweaking Apple's operating system.
I like Apple, but I want a computer that IĬan plug an external device in, and with a little coding IĬan get it to work. Yes-I know a little bit about the command line, can put up static websites, but I am an average user not advanced. I consider myself an averageĬomputer user. I see you're being down voted? I have been looking for an openĪlternative to Apple's operating system for about two years but then again, thats because I scratched the itch of wanting to escape from the OSX hegemony. I don't see the problems a lot of folks do. Had it running on my 4 Apple machines for 5+ years too. that's rather an unusual hubris.ĭisclaimer: been running Linux since day one. Honestly, is this "Hacker News" or is it "Lamer News"? The folks downvoting and justifying subservience to the OSX hegemony over forward progress for the Linux collective must not realize just how nice it will be, one day soon, to be running the greatest OS ever made on the finest quality laptop hardware made, so far. or was it more like "you know what would be cool? If Linux ran on this great hardware. How did Linux get to where it is today? Was it by people saying "oh, it doesn't work, so why bother, its just all such a huge hassle". Personal office stuff like email, taxes, online banking etc.>Why are you putting the onus of blame on OP?īecause he's actively discouraging people, rather pessimistically, from trying to improve the situation.
2014 MACBOOK PRO WEIGHT UPGRADE
Is it even an upgrade if I buy a MacBook Air? Never mind, hope someone can help me.īefore you ask, this is what I use my current machine for: If there are massiv performance improvments than I would "upgrade". I will stick with my current MacBook if the Air is only slightly better. When I compare the numbers, I don't see much difference. Should I buy a new MacBook Air (2020) or should I stay with my old Pro mid 2014?
