Although I have a hard time seeing any kind of difference between my Linux laptop and my SO's Mac, if esthetics are that important to you, you might consider that you have a finite number of minutes in your life and that productivity matters a great deal more than how shiny the colors are on a Mac.
- snazz 6y agoI think that this argument goes both ways. You could also say "productivity matters a great deal more than configuring Linux to be 'perfect' when macOS works out of the box". Disclaimer: I'm typing this on a Mac with a terminal window SSH'd into a Linux box sitting next to me. Edit: I'm not saying that either is inherently more productive or easier to use, just that it's personal and these arguments cut both ways.
- ur-whale 6y agoI would agree with you if the year was ~2002 where using Linux was indeed a lot of work. In 2020, everything works out of the box for me on Linux. YMMV of course, I'm only speaking for my own workflow.
- boogies 6y agoBut GNU works better out of the box. TFA recommends Pop OS which is preinstalled on System76 devices, and comes with simple window tiling, which many devs swear by as a productivity booster.
