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 I 110% recommend installing Better Touch Tool if you want to use macOS with a mouse.
If you have a regular (non-Apple) mouse, you can map the buttons to do damn near anything. Then multiply those mappings by however many key combinations you want to set up.
For example, I have it set so that Cmd+buttons 3/4 flick left and right between spaces. It has timed button push support now as well, so you don't even need the modifier key.
@zlatko (I'm not a shill for BTT, btw, I just think it's a brilliant little app that makes macOS so much nicer than it already is)
@DJDarren I assumed so, it's not a problem and thanks for suggesting. I moved on since that toot, my boss heard me complain and got me a Lenovo to customize to my heart's content:)
