more of the OS X code is open source than windows. windows is fully closed, OS X is at least mixed source

Doesn't matter, osx is still closed. These open bits and pieces are useless, it's not like you can recompile the core or anything anyway.
Ubuntu's looks more useful than Mac's.
the ubuntu devs should have patented those features then

[QUOTE=neil_purt;25695433]i know youre all just sour that mommy doesnt have enough money to buy you a mac, so you instead try to claim osx is a shit OS, when really it has taken the best of windows and linux and combined it into one fantastic package that's really worth its price point. flame me if you want, but let it be known that i actually own a brand new imac with snow leopard, and coming from a 4+ year old gaming pc, it's safe for me to say that i spent my hard earned dollars quite well. talk when you've actually owned a mac, and not with your quasi-intellectual opinions.[/QUOTE]

I think the lack of consistency with all distributions would be confusing to the average person. (Meaning that distros aren't like other distros). Also the fact the average person expects their computer to be able to do stuff out of the box, not have to go download all sorts of stuff due to licenses and restrictions.

Mostly due to the fact all Linux Desktop distro's are just copying MS or OSX, but touting OPEN SOURCE! FREE AS IN FREE BEER! IM DIFFERNT LOOK AT ME! for a majority on the market it needs to be unified, which it will never be.

the goal isn't market majority. the goal is for people who are already using it to like it.
I, and many other Linux users, personally don't care how many others use Linux. I'd continue using it if it was just rms and Torvalds, and I'd continue using it if it had 100% market share, as long as I can continue to do the same things with it.
also there isn't a single distro intentionally copying OSX or Windows other than Ubuntu, but that doesn't count since Ubuntu is so shitty.

Sweet baby Jesus I hope you're kidding.
Linux developers aren't pouring their time and effort into writing free, huge scale or small scale distributions that can be used by business owners and Linux savvy computer users alike, just so they can be unique and cool. They're doing it to improve the experience of current Linux users and keep their distros up to date with the real world. God forbid Linux distributions keep updating to still be technologically relevant.

Alot of that comes from the community creating things that look like OS X and Windows because they like the look of it. If it is actually functional a Distro may include it by default as it may help the transition easier.
If you want anyone to blame, blame the community.

For when you have no argument: call someone a troll.
I tried to use desktop Linux for a few years, and during those years, Linux went absolutely nowhere.
So now, I just make fun of it.
Especially hilarious is when delusional fanbois are convinced that Linux came up with feature X first and start foaming at the mouth at these companies for "ripping them off".
The exact same thing happened with Compiz and Aero/Expose/whathaveyou, even though MS and Apple were doing demos of these features at tech conferences years beforehand.
And still, to this very day, there are dumbass neckbeards who are [b][i]absolutely convinced[/i][/b] that Compiz was groundbreaking, and everyone else ripped "them" off.

Compiz reminds me of DCE back in 2002/2003.

OSX is not UNIX.
Linux is not stratified, Mint is Linux as much as Arch is Linux.
All Os's have their flaws.
No-one "Steals", they simply improve.
[QUOTE=humpalump;25735594]OSX is not UNIX.[/QUOTE]
I'm going to go ahead and call you out on this.
There is a difference between being UNIX and being a UNIX derivative.
Well OSX is arguably the most UNIX-like modern operating system, at the kernel level at least.

No. *BSD's are.
[QUOTE=POWA KILLERDeux;25737098]No. *BSD's are.[/QUOTE]
Apple's Darwin kernel is about at the same point of divergence from vanilla BSD as (Free/Net/etc.)BSD is at this point. Hence "arguably."
Although it may be very similar to UNIX, OSX is not "true" UNIX.

For what? That Linux users are delusional? Or that Compiz came in last place between the three major OSes? (which is well-documented, do your own fucking research)
