Re: Some random thoughts on Mint vs o/s X +Windows 10
To be honest, MurphCID, when I started reading this and got to the beginning of your LinuxMint experience, I thought you were going to install it on your MacBook Pro to replace Mac OS X. It is a pretty controlled environment which Apple expects its users to use as it sees fit, some tweaking and customization aside, period.
I have LM 19 (beta, as I type this) running full-time on my 2011 MBP 13", and honestly, I couldn't be happier, other than having newer hardware, but then that's always a given.

Re: Some random thoughts on Mint vs o/s X +Windows 10
I thought about it at the time, but decided that I like the little HP Spectre x360 much better as a linux machine. I decided I would keep the Mac as a play thing since the o/s really is not for serious work, but for entertainment. I think that Apple has disabled some of the functionality of the terminal in O/S X since I tried to use some terminal commands to remove cruft from the mac and it did not work. I might look at a System 76 Oryx Pro later on for a gaming machine, or a Galago pro but the Mac will remain the Mac. I have a large iTunes library, and if iTunes would work on Mint, I would drop all other operating systems in a flash. Sorry for the confusion, I did at one point think about it, but decided against it in the long run. Maybe I'll look at getting a 15" MBP 2014 model from Mac of All Trades to put linux on later on.Portreve wrote: ⤴Fri Jun 22, 2018 1:15 pm To be honest, MurphCID, when I started reading this and got to the beginning of your LinuxMint experience, I thought you were going to install it on your MacBook Pro to replace Mac OS X.

Re: Some random thoughts on Mint vs o/s X +Windows 10
There's only been two ways in which I've ever used iTunes.
The first way was the same as anyone here might use something like Rhythmbox: hold and organize and play back your music.
The second way, and this is before the era of Google, I would use it to research songs: what albums they belonged to, which music groups did them.
But, I've never bought anything from them.

I have an iPod for walking and such, so I need iTunes for that. Plus I have a large music collection which I add to all the time. IT can't be that hard to port iTunes to Linux since it runs on BSD (Mac O/S X).
Re: Some random thoughts on Mint vs o/s X +Windows 10
I have a friend that loves her Mac and recently the ssd died on it. She had the shop fix it for somewhere around $300+ for hardware and labor. I got to looking at the hardware specs of the Mac and a comparable w10 loaded Laptop was $1000 cheaper than a Mac so I figure one pays $1000 for the OS. I see why I never had a Mac. The last two laptops I bought had w10 on them and w10 got neatly filed away in file 13, both running XFCE 18.3. One loaded 18.3 no problem and the other I had to load 18 then update to 18.3 . I have no use for the ratpad on laptops because I never learned to type in school with the rest on mechanical type writers, so with the ratpad and my occasional bumps on it I would end up with a mess. I disable the Pads and rely on an externals. I have one laptop as a Minecraft server at home always on and this laptop goes with me in the car. My desktop is my powerhouse (to me) and all have mint.
