I'm going to shock you here but every platform has longstanding bugs with hundreds of people complaining about them.

  Yah, but good luck penetrating the apple forcefield.

  Not sure if i can agree. Major open source issues like this are usually solved at some point by some code hero. Or you just fix it yourself and solve anyone else problem too

    This is an obvious straw man, parent is talking about ‘many issues’, and you are talking about major issues. Apple obviously doesn’t have a lot of unfixed major issues. Many small complaints is another matter.

      Either i dont agree or we have a different understanding of major issue. Not being able to use a second screen withput active power, or being able to cook an egg in idle are in my eyes major issues. Both of which have long threads with no real response. I still get “me too“ emails from issues ive “me too“ 5+ years ago.

        Sure but that’s not a real metric. There really is nowhere for everyday consumers to complain about comparable issues in Linux. There is nobody to complain to, and the the only options are self help. Anyone who fails, fails silently, and there is also the issue that because of all the variation in hardware and software setups it’s hard to even determine that an issue is the same. On the other side, Apple has more than a billion active users, so a few hundred people with a single issue really doesn’t mean anything at all.

  That's kinda the point - Apple is no different from any other platform in this respect.
