I have tried to use a Mac on several occasions but I see so much to adapt to. The apps still crash, some applications still feel slow, gestures/click pattern using 1-2-3-4 fingers, window system is not really obvious. It can obviously be learned but I find linux to be more much obvious and user friendly than Mac specially GNOME which is my current favorite.
In any case windows has come a long way from windows xp to windows 10 to complicate things and hide features in crappy manner and still busy fixing things that are not broken.
- unfamiliar 11y agoI can't speak for Windows, but Linux is miles behind OS X in terms of usability in my opinion. The trackpad gestures are fantastic and very intuitive for me to the point where I hate using a crippled trackpad on linux. I can see the appeal of Gnome, which is very simple and intuitive to use. But modern gnome is adopting more and more features of the OS X window management system, like ctrl-tab switching applications rather than windows, the addition of indicator applets, the windows-and-dock overview screen (whatever they call it). From all the complaints I hear I don't think there's anything particularly difficult about OS X file management and window management other than "its different from what I'm used to."
- bhanu423 11y agoHmm I guess you are right on when you say "its different from what I'm used to" . Also I am more of a keyboard guy so I have limited trackpad usage, keeping it limited to just scroll and click works for me. Anyways the default way to switch applications is Super + Tab, in mac super key is command key whereas in windows laptops its the windows key.
