Emacs in particular, and a lot of Unix software in general, run very poorly in Mac OS X compared to Linux or OpenBSD. I had to look up what vfork was, and learned that it was deprecated in POSIX 2008. Not surprising. Mac OS X seems to be in perpetual beta mode, where it is always half-way behind on basic Unix features, and the other half are proprietary interfaces that get deprecated/broken/incompatible changes every major release. Switch to a better operating system.

- PuercoPop 8y agoI wouldn't consider a desktop environment that forces one to put up with useless transition animations even a good desktop enviroment.
- cpach 8y agoThat doesn’t bother me but to each their own.
- sedachv 8y agoI agree, there is no better desktop environment than Emacs: https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm
