Ubuntu et al aren't that bad at all honestly. UIs have gotten better over the years..
But the trackpad and screens (and the handling of the screen by MacOS which is leagues beyond Windows / Linux) alone are worth the price tags in Macs.
- _ph_ 7y agoI really like Linux and would use it happily, but beyond all the software you can't get for Linux, things like trackpad and screen support are just great on the Mac, especially multiple, screens with HiDPI.
- sudosysgen 7y agoAn underestimated benefit of Linux vs MacOS especially if they go for ARM is that Wine is getting really, really good. One more than one occasion I downloaded an exe by accident and used it flawlessly.
- freedomben 7y agoWine is indeed very good these days. It's amazing how much Windows software it will run. And if Wine doesn't cut it, KVM with Gnome Boxes works amazingly well and is super easy to use. I had to do that for my tax software last year.
- kitsunesoba 7y agoThe major Linux desktop environments seem to be perpetually stuck in a weird almost-good-enough-but-not-quite state where all the broad strokes are right, but the fine details are marred with small quirks and papercuts. So close yet so far. It’s a bit frustrating.
- KozmoNau7 7y agoI've been thoroughly pleased with KDE 5 as my primary desktop for quite a while now. It's clean, consistent and looks good. It does adhere to the Windows style of taskbar and window management by default, so of course YMMV.
