I feel like the author didn’t run Linux in the 90s or early 2000s. Until you’ve had to manually write a monitor’s mode lines in your X11 config with the warning it could blow up your monitor to do it incorrectly - you didn’t really fight with Linux. Anyone remember winmodems? Apple is nothing like this. I’m sorry the reserved space thing happened. I’ve not used a Mac daily in at least over a year now. I can’t stand the laptop keyboards and windows 10 is (so strangely to me) enough now. All computer systems are complex now and designers struggle with balancing overwhelming users with detail and not providing enough visibility into details that are important. I know this because I’ve had to make the calls on what is shown to users vs what we document for support engineers. Simple is worth striving for and incredibly difficult to get right.
