I switch around this time last year to OSX mostly since I want a unix system with photoshop and other apps I need for work.
1) Took me roughly 2 months to get used too it, some things where really annoying, like the keyboard being different @ vs " was a huge pain point for a developer that uses " 2104120412 times a day for strings. But now I can't go back to anything else and I love how OSX work, still hate some of the keyboard choices but meh XD.
2) Yes. This is due to a lot of things, spaces is great I love them on linux love them on OSX, I can easily spread work out and never need too alt tab. Short cuts are awesome, every app I've used uses cmd + , for settings, cmd + w to close a window, cmd + q to quit an app etc etc. Once you learn the hotkeys your life becomes so much better.
3) You have access to VLC so it does everything the windows version does, I also use MPlayerX which has no issues with file types but still lacks features like playlist which is key on a Friday night when me and the misses catch up on the weeks shows. I also watch a lot of Anime with 10bit etc etc without any issue.
Dont use Office for anything.
yeah ive seen a video now about all of the short cuts ect seems very intuitive
Thanks for the response
D) Mac Pro that work were chucking out, upgraded to 8 cores, 24GB RAM, Wifi+BT, SSD + 2x 1TB HDDs in RAID and a Geforce 660. It's twice the speed CPU wise of the 2011 Mac Mini it replaced (dread to think what the power consumption is mind lol) and it even runs Yosemite now. Considering it's 8+ years old, it absolutely flies along.The installation of Yosemite on old Apple hardware admittedly does push the limits of Apple's EULA agreement but that states:
So it's still effectively within the terms of the agreement, but before discussing I'd rather check with a mod before proceeding.
I've decided to go retro with my Apple HW now Apple haev gimped the Mac Mini.
Scooped a 2006
table/floor?
