Nobody on /jp/ uses a Mac.

wHELL i always use a PC
so +1 for PC

>>7318096
From visiting multiple other forms of communication with /jp/ users, i can confirm some of them use Mac laptops and a lot use iPhones.

Not sure about desktop Macs.

>>7318096
most people on /jp/ are not weeaboo.
OP asked about weeaboos.

I'd say the ratio follows the general ratio, most people probably use a PC.

Eksi-kun uses a Mac because he's "ironically" homosexual. I doubt anyone else does though.

I imagine there's a Mac user or two on here. One time someone was asking how to run Touhou on his Mac.

Now, go and install Gentoo.

Only a retard would pick a Mac if they could choose between a PC and a Mac.

>>7318105
iPhones don't really have anything to do with Mac or PC, though.
And it's a bit of a surprise to me that one would use a Mac. Aren't most /jp/ programs Windows-based?

>Mac

>>7318107
My that logic everyone uses a PC because the PC is 90% of the market and the Mac is like 10%

>>7318126
>10%

You wish.

Macs are PCs.

And weeaboos use mainframes.

well we all know how this will end

I like Linux, but nowadays I've been needing to run Windows. I've never used a mac because it's too expensive for my NEET wallet but I don't really care either way, I can get used to anything. What matters is the content, not the platform. Flexibility is the word.

>>7318133
New Ubuntu is pretty good.

If you don't need games and stuff...

>>7318135
Touhou works well under Wine. What more could you need?

Share, I guess.

Why do you guys hate mac? I mean I always hear shit about it but I don't know why

>>7318135
I hate the sidebar thing introduced in 11.04.
I have half a mind to reinstall 10.10 so that the menus and everything work like older mac os, not like new mac os.

>>7318144
Visual Novels and stuff...

But really who doesn't double boot Windows if he uses Linux.

Most /jp/ related software runs well under wine, the stuff that doesn't can go into a VM, with the excception of Illusion's games and stuff, I guess.

>>7318146
Can't you just reconfigure everything? It is Linux, after all.

Though I suppose I'm not one to talk, since technically I have Ubuntu 10 on this computer but can't actually boot into it.

I use Linux (Gentoo). Plus Windows in a VM for the odd thing now and then.

>>7318146
Oh loled at the name of the picture.

I don't know I kind of like it, ubuntu is meant to be user friendly and this makes it just that.

>>7318150
Me, for starters.

Hell, who the fuck does? Even if you absolutely need to run something that won't run in Wine, we have virtual machines for that nowadays.

>>7318132
I'm laughing and I feel bad for laughing.

>>7318144
Depends. SWR/Hisoutensoku are generally iffy, and fail completely on NVIDIA's binary driver.

Actually question. Has anyone here managed to get Touhouvania 2 running under Wine? It just crashes at startup in my case.

>>7318135
Emulators tend to work well.

Macs aren't computers, they're overpriced toys.

>>7318173
Well... you can't really VM shit like Starcraft 2 or Bad Company 2.

And even HoI and Victoria and Anno etc...

>>7318164
Probably, but I don't know how and I'm afraid that if I find out, I will sprout a neck beard.

>>7318171
Thanks, I'm glad someone other than me reads filenames.
I disagree though, 10.10's interface was very user friendly to me (probably because I grew up with that kind of system) and 11.04's is a horrible piece of shit.

>>7318189
>probably because I grew up with that kind of system
Yeah I know that feeling. I still think one of the best MMOs is Ragnarok Online and I prefer the old windows interface because I used it for like 13 years...

macs are for hipster rich kids. because normal hipsters cant afford macs. What is even the point of owning a mac when most people dont use it for what its made for?

Nice mojibake dunkass

>>7318222
That Battler.

>>7318227
Oh didn't even notice that, was moving the window at the time of the screencapture

>>7318222
>Vsync

>>7318176
This. Its really funny how a "powerful" mac costs like 2000e more than a pc with 3 times the power. Another thing I dont understand is why does everyone in entertaiment business use mac? Its a bother to conver the shitty mac files everytime you get something. What an abomination!

>>7318164
>Can't you just reconfigure everything? It is Linux, after all.

OS X is not Linux.

>>7318247
Yeah, but we were talking about Ubuntu.

>>7318240
Still mojibake though.

>>7318244
Most of the entertainment uses stuff like Adobe that has universal files over all platforms. I haven no idea why they use macs...

I always have and always will pick pc. I grew up using at and it just makes sense in so many ways. That being said, I was recently given a used macbook pro for free. I am still trying to figure out what to do with it. No, i will not throw it away and no I will not sell it.

>>7318222
So with crossover you can play VNs and shit on OSX? I was thinking of taking up my university's deal on a heavily subsidized Macbook Pro and running boot camp for my Windows only programs. However I only have one Vista key that is currently active on my desktop and I'm too cheap to buy Windows 7.

>>7318244
>>7318262
because hipsters, do you not understand?

>>7318273
you don't need bootcamp, touhou runs fine with 60 fps under crossover and most vns work (I couldn't get Sharin no Kuni to work for some reason)

>>7318262
Dear, Are you implying that entertaiment business revolves around Adobe? Ara ara~
I was mainly talking about all kinds of video/audio formats that are not exported into .mp3 .mkv ect. Ah that sounds very confusing! I'll just shut up and hide ;_;

>>7318273
You do know that you can pirate Windows 7 and install a "licence" that makes it look 100% legal via Daz Keyloader 2.0

>>7318280
Well that's fine..I didn't like Sharin no Kuni so I wouldn't install it on my secondary computer anyways.

What about language packs and whatnot? Are there issues with that on OSX?

>>7318278
No I mean big companies that develop entertainment type software, Adobe being the most prominent one. Use the same formats for the exported files and since they're big companies with a lot of money they 99% of the time make the programs for Windows and OSX.

>>7318291
Ah those. Yes, in that matter you are right.

>>7318096

hay guys, macfag reporting in.

>>7318181
you should know that blizzard games are natives to mac as well as pc. for other games, i'll just play on pc. except vn and games like 3dcg, 3d custom meido, illusion games and the like, i prefer them on mac just because it's monitor comes pre-calibrated. i dont have to see fucking color palettes on mac like we all do on uncalibrated displays on pc amarite?

>>7318307
Or you're just too retarded to use a real monitor? I don't know.

>>7318307
>except vn and games like 3dcg, 3d custom meido, illusion games and the like, i prefer them on mac just because it's monitor comes pre-calibrated. i dont have to see fucking color palettes on mac like we all do on uncalibrated displays on pc amarite?

I'll be honest here, I have no idea what you're talking about. Could you elaborate?

>>7318307
Windows user here, what are you talking about?
Color palettes?

Are you by any chance comparing your OSX with Windows 98?

>>7318314
try to spot choppy color transition in photos if you're in pc. honestly though, it's not too big a problem. but if your work depends on just that, it matters.

>>7318313
i use both monitors. i'm both queer and manly.

PC running Linux (debian)

glorious garbage picked self built PC master race.

This thing plays dragon age and I didn't pay a cent for it.

(though dealing with IDE hard drives sucks dick)

>>7318328
Sill not sure what you mean, could be because I never seen a Mac besides a PC monitor.

>>7318346
it's a very small issue, there's no need to care about it if you dont work with photos.
