"Slightly worse". I got a job and was not allowed to use a linux laptop, so I went with mac. I was almost worried that I would like the "just works" aspects everyone have been so exited about. Wow. What a piece of shit it is. Settings items takes forever to load after boot, mouse feels like it is stuck in mud (even if I remove accelleration and increase speed), it cannot wake many monitors up from sleep, it completely disables the keyboard momentarily when activating the screen (and if it fails to wake it, it becomes a flashing, keyboard grabbing nightmare). The window management? I can set up a workspace on this and that keybind, "oh, you disconnected the monitor, well we permuted the keybinds for you" wtf? When I get home and switch to linux, it is such a relief.

Same. 2015. I could have pushed them to let me use Linux, but it would have been making waves in a remote shop. The 2015 MacBook hardware was decent, so I got it. Domain binding was still in fashion. 99 problems. Finally, I got it okay-ish, set up Brew, it's a hack. I started trying to use the terminal to do things, almost no config available, the disk mount subsystem was alien, the logs were crap. Since then, the hardware and compatibility has just gotten awful.

Lol, since the last major update I can't type a tilde or a backtick, presumably because it doesn't recognize my keyboard type?? And I had to install another program that prevent Apple Music from opening each time I connect/disconnect bluetooth headphones?? Or to add week numbers to the calendar widget. Even Gnome isn't that bad.

I had that from the start... It cannot distinguish some keyboards, and I have two versions of my layout I have to switch between. All keybords work the same on linux, but mac, nah.

And updates? Holy shit! They broke ssh! It was broken like a month. Ssh connections just died as 'corrupted' all the time. And they don't hotfix it asap? How can a company trust to use them as a work laptop if they break it and don't fix it?

The answer by Apple (and their parroting fanbois): You don't actually need those keys. It's confusing for users to have too many characters.

this is what they mean by "just works" is that it doesn't do much of anything.

It means what is not already happening will never happen.

Tinkering is for hippies and hippies are communist.

I guess it matters what you mean by hippies. My dad and all the other old foggies he smoked pot with in the '60s are all #MAGA now.
