God damn it, I don't know why they praise macs so far. It's so inflexible, inconsistent, impossible to set up to my usage. I have to use TOUCHPAD of all things to move around efficiently. I am sooo frustrated.
Am I just too old for this shit? Has anybody transitioned from #linux to #macos (after a decade or two, no n00b takes please) and felt as productive, ever? How long did it take you?
Who ever made the switch and felt that the mac is BETTER? If you did, what kind of work do you do? What are some tips to stop feeling so frustrated?
@zlatko Just transitioned the other way. Finally had to move on from my 2012 MBP & couldn’t afford a new one so bought a beefy 2nd hand Dell & put #Kubuntu on it. It really brought home how limited MacOS is for anything more than media/graphic design. apple do great hardware, handy integrated ecosystem but the OS is a dog’s breakfast. The ASAHI Linux people are doing good work bringing Linux to the M1 though.
@toxy my feeling exactly, it's built good for non-tech power users. But for people who know exactly what they want, it's not flexible.
