TLDR. Because the ecosystem has less money, and therefore developers to polish it.
P.S. Linux, by it's open nature, encourages users to tweak many things on the OS. This also helps to surface edge case bugs that were not encountered earlier. I doubt most users would encounter even 20% of the bugs they hit if they bought a linux machine from a vendor that sells them with pre-installed linux, hence guaranteeing hardware compatibility, and then didn't change key settings, meaning their user work-flows would be on paths tested by the developers. But where's the fun in that? :p
- whitepaint 6y agoI'm just so fucking tired having to spend hours upon hours fixing some bullshit network problem.
- knaq 6y agoDo your needs perfectly match the most average Mac user? If so, get a Mac. Probable norm: on public wireless network, just using the web You can deviate from that, but not much. When your needs are strange, the Mac has nothing for you.
- simonblack 6y agoSo buy your Mac. Problem fixed. For what it's worth, I only buy Lenovo hardware. I shun HP hardware (except their laserjet printers) like the plague. For me. Debian and its derivatives (Ubuntu, Mint) work 'out of the box'. I can't remember the last time I had network problems. EDIT: Yes I can, it was when I last had a HP laptop and why I made the decision to never again buy a HP computer. That computer's wifi didn't even work with Windows. (Well, to be honest, it was Vista.)
