macos on pc

Anonymous Mon 02 May 2011 06:26:00 No.17264889 View View Reply Original Report

guys I'm recruiting a graphic designer faggot for my company. But the faggot said he works better on a mac. I checked out the prices for macs and it turns out the mac computers are priced around 1.6 times more than a PC of same specs.

So I decided to get a PC of same specs and put macosx on it. So the question is . how stable is that shit ?

I fucking kid you not. But I think it is because I live in a country where we don't have apple stores. So the stores which sell macs fuck you up .

you guys are right , but you are acting like you don't know how to manage people . He's going to be paid like shit so I'm going to trick him into being happy by installing macosx on a pc. looks like a win win for me. Worst case scenario macosx will be unstable as shit and I'll just install windows and be done with it. But knowing beforehand what people had seen so far wouldve been nice

>>17265390
There MIGHT be a difference, PCs with mid-range to lower-end specs have a greater chance of crashing when working with large ass files. If this is for print media, the designer would know how to properly format RIGHT AWAY. If this is for web media, both Windows and Macs can handle it no problem.

I think I could see why the designer would WANT a mac; somewhere down the line he or she would want to develop Widgets or Apps

That should be fine on Windows. If you know your stuff, you COULD just skin it all around to LOOK like a Mac. It's more troublesome to hackintosh it

I wanted to add to this part: That your company wouldn't have the resources OR the money for it. You might be the I.T. guy, not only do you manage Windows, but now you're gonna have a shitload more problems with Mac and its preferred networking. Not a lot of them, but it's going to cause strain eventually.

that efficiency will have a difference of %1 . the guy already is working on a firm who is doing some of the printing shit so there is no learning curve if i get this guy which is at least +50% efficiency for the first few months . after that i can just kick him and get someone else. so fuck off and answer me if this shit will be stable or not.

I'm just saying you can find someone better. Say you hire this person and shit hits the fan. Your next designer may not necessarily NEED a Mac. So that means you spent 2k for nothing.

It's like giving the guy a Lexus when he just needs a goddamn CAR to drive around in.

Now, for your parts? You should've Googled around to see if they were compatible on hackintosh forums. You wanna keep being a stubborn fuck and find out that the guy doesn't want to work with you after finding out that you didn't buy him a Mac, that's fine with me. I feel bad that I care, and you have not even the slightest fucking interest in hiring me because I made you mad

He's probably talking about the workflow on a mac, which is entirely different from a pc.

Just get him the fucking mac OP, the costs are practically nothing compared to what you'll be paying in wages. Also, a happy worker is a good worker.
