Yo legends thanks for nerding out over Mac OS with me. However, I made a few mistakes in this video that I need to amend (I need to triple check my notes...) - Mountain Lion was released in 2012 not 2007. - System 1 wasn't the first GUI OS. The Lisa featured one and the Xerox Alto was the first. - Mojave (10.14) had the first true dark mode. Yosemite had it as a hidden secret. Thanks to everyone who caught my errors!
You totally missed the opportunity to use the period-correct startup chime for each macOS version. It changed in 1995, 1998, and 2020, getting deeper by about one semitone each time.
Tysm Zach, it's an honour to get pinned bro, I love all your vids, even the ones where you talked about your experience as an apple employee, pls never stop dropping bangers :)
It was definitely the first that was anywhere near affordable. You could get a good used car in 1984 for what the Mac cost, but the Lisa cost the equivalent of $20K in today’s dollars.
Steve Jobs was very much around for Mac OS 9 and 8 and even latter parts of System 7. If I were to pick, I would start at Big Sur (refreshed UI, not major, but also the defining release for Apple Silicon), High Sierra (APFS, move away from bit rot prone HFS+), Yosemite (UI refresh), Snow Leopard (performance update), Leopard (Stacks, Quick Look, UI refresh), Tiger (Intel transition, Spotlight, mature), Puma (usable, third party apps), Cheetah (they released it after 5 years of development, finally the Mac had true multitasking, memory management and an inviting UI Aqua). There are some noticeable mentions - Mojave had the first true dark mode of any client OS that was well implemented, it was also the last release that can run 32 bit apps.
Reading Isaacson's "Steve Jobs". It's crazy how much blood, sweat and and tears went into building the Original Macintosh from 1984. How many Mac outer shell remodelings, system icon redesigns. Steve wanted rounded edges on rectangles, he wanted pristine packaging, he even demanded that the mac could not be opened without special tools but when you did, you would see that even the circutry board looked beautiful. These invisible details were all Steve Jobs. With all his faults and shortcomings as a person, you still cannot help but to marvel him. How little the interface has changed..
I was born in ‘83 and we had a few Macs in elementary school. We used PCs also but I remember using System 7.. Its crazy how much technology advanced in the past 40 years.
Technically, there were GUIs commercially available prior to Mac System 1, most notably the Apple Lisa and its predecessor and inspiration, the Xerox Alto. Looking at Wikipedia to make sure of what I'm posting here, I see that the first commercially produced GUI workstation was apparently the PERQ. Anyway, I've been using the Mac since System 7. It really was amazing when Apple finally made the transition from "classic" Mac OS to Mac OS X, as it finally replaced the old underpinnings with something UNIX-based that offered multitasking and protected memory, features we easily take for granted today. Used to be that some buggy software would often bring the entire OS down and you would have to reboot just to recover from a crash. There was a force-quit function in the OS, but it would often fail to kill the offending application and you would end up rebooting anyway. And you couldn't have more than one CPU-intensive task running at the same time without seeing some significant slow-downs, regardless of how fast the hardware might have been. Mac OS X changed a lot more than the interface.
GREAT catch you are correct, legend! I should have specified mass or even popular GUI. The Lisa and the Alto definitely holy titles for the earliest GUI's. System 7 hey?! That's unreal. Totally agreed - even as a young lad - the excitement around a 'new and fresh' OS was awesome. The ol' turn it off and turn it on again, hey? haha! Appreciate you sharing - that's awesome. Did you have a preference for OS? Favourite OS X?
@@zacharystaines The culture in the 90s was such that Macintosh was almost a religion. There were strong anti-Microsoft feelings, and some equally strong anti-Apple feelings among the DOS/Windows crowd. The same old "PCs are way better for gaming" thing was already established, even though the Mac had plenty of games. I have a soft spot for System 7 and 7.5 just because they were what I used on family Macs back in the day. I still run the Basilisk II emulator on modern systems with a similar system version, 7.6.1. It has the same look and feel. Used 8.5, 8.6 and various iterations of 9 on the original iMac and then a blue and white G3 tower, and I first upgraded to Mac OS X on that tower. I like them all well, really, in an eclectic way. I used and liked them all, though as I mentioned before, it was revolutionary when OS X came along and finally gave the Mac the kind of stability and multitasking that Windows had had since 95 and NT first came out. I do like the Leopard and Snow Leopard look and feel most of all among Mac OS X versions. I kind of wish I could make a modern Mac look and operate the way those versions did. Apple has done some things I don't like since then, such as change the function of the green button on the windows. It used to zoom to the window contents in the Finder, but now just makes the window full-screen, and on top of that an annoying menu will appear if I accidentally leave the cursor hovering over it for too long. I also liked the 3D Dock in the OS X releases of that era.

Love your videos man !

Actually it was Xerox PARC from 1973 that was the first GUI OS. Apple ripped it off.
Zach went from running Minecraft on everything, to becoming the ultimate chill UA-camr, every vid is so nice ngl, the story of a true g
Thanks you for sticking around you legend 🥹 I can’t give up on the UA-cam dream lol

Mountain Lion released in 2012. Leopard released in 2007. 2:35
Came to the comments to say this^
System 1 was not the first GUI OS (that belongs to the Xerox Alto) but it did popularize the concept.
Yup! And even just within Apple, the Lisa came out about a year before and it also had a GUI.
It was definitely the first that was anywhere near affordable. You could get a good used car in 1984 for what the Mac cost, but the Lisa cost the equivalent of $20K in today’s dollars.
@@kingdave31The alto was $32K at that time…

Deadass between this and a Goblin video but the nerd in me won
Finally! A UA-camr did this idea, and its one of the most entertaining tech ones ever. Thank you.

OS X Mountain Lion was relesaed in 2012 not in 2007
Great channel I've been watching for about a year lol I've learned a lot of fun stuff
Thanks for watching you legend! Dang you've been around a while! Appreciate it 🫡
I was born in ‘83 and we had a few Macs in elementary school. We used PCs also but I remember using System 7..
Its crazy how much technology advanced in the past 40 years.
I miss Aero Themes in OS's.
Luckily I use Windows 7. :)
Aero was Windows Vista and 7. The Mac's equivalent was Aqua. I think the term you're looking for is skeuomorphism.
@JoBot__ Eh i just call it Frutiger Aero or Aero.
mountain lion is not from 2007
In fact it is from 2012. “Only” 5 year difference
The graph at the start of the video is atrocious 💀
The longer I look at it, the worse it becomes
I had no idea 2.5% was larger than 2.5%.
2:24 Dark mode was introduced in 10.14 Mojave not 10.10 Yosemite.
Holy smokes you’re right mate - I don’t know I missed that 💀
the grey/white status bar is such an iconic design shame its just now opaque
Hello, I'm from Chile and I had an idea for your next video: could you install Android on a 2004 ipaq?
Incredible to see the history from then and now
I love how Apple just kept the simplicity and not making major changes to the OS unlike windows
Original windows was not very good imo. They had multiple overhauls that made it much better. Peak windows was 7 imo.

Apple Macintosh was not the first graphical user interface, just the first popular and well-known one!
I don't really like Mac os but there is something about the old skeuomorphic y2k Mac os operating systems that looks pretty to me
I can’t believe I have more subs then him 😭 he’s underrated asf
Wasn't the Apple Lisa the first computer with a GUI.
Actually it was Xerox PARC from 1973 that was the first GUI OS. Apple ripped it off.
Xerox PARC.
@JoBot__ Indeed. :)
I'm watching this video on a MacBook running OS X Mountain Lion.
2:22 I mean if you consider dark mode to be JUST the dock and menu bar to be dark then sure
You are also a legend to the channel
can it run minecraft tho🤔
Hey dark mode came with Mojave, not Yosemite, and Mountain Lion was released in 2012, not 2007 that was leopard.
im in the 4.45% of linux - a pi os user
I enjoyed this vid but it would have been better in a chronological order to keep track of changes over time. It feels like it jumps about a lot.
Actually, it is plain reverse chronological order. It's not shuffled at all.
MacOS 10 not “x”. Dark Mode didn’t come to Mac until macOS Mojave with iOS 13
70 viwes in 10 minutes? Bro really fell off. There is something about this macs.
2:43 it also introduced hell*
gatekeeper is ridiculous like y tf would u have to VERIFY 50 TIMES THAT YES, i wanna run an app which i just built like seriousky man
So no Lisa?
Will MacOS run on a PI Pico 2?
glad i switched to arch btw
Mac OS peaked at Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X
what, no minecraft install?
i love 10.4
Lied 41 years
macOS snow leopard was the best os best
Fun video, thanks.
Also, it’s pronounced MacOS “ten”, not MacOS “ecks”. The “X” is a Roman numeral. You mentioned both as if it’s a choice, it’s not.
I use Arch (btw) and I tried MacOS and I really disliked it, so many annoying things GNOME doesnt have.
Your comparing a 1995 laptop to a Mac from 1999
Your best Bud looks like Andrew Tate😮
wow
wow bro thats so cool
Hey I made it here first. Nice
Under a hour club
