You don't need to nearly as much, by comparison.

You don't need to nearly as much, by comparison.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoIf you can’t, you can’t call it need to. I’d compare it to GNOME.
- kitsunesoba 5y agoFrom someone who’s used both macOS and GNOME a good deal, GNOME to me feels a lot more like iPadOS if it had been mildly adjusted to run on desktops than it does macOS. There’s several aspects of GNOME and its app suite that are more inflexible than macOS and its apps.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoI completely agree. If someone uses GNOME and says OSX isn't configuration friendly, the critique is very hypocritical, enough to be dismissed. If you say that and use almost any other DE (I love KDE) sure. Someone saying the overcooked steak is disgusting while eating a burnt piece of toast is hard to take serious, they are constantly breaking addons and plugins, its like they don't want any 3rd party support, not unlike the often critiqued apple desktop.
- howinteresting 5y agoHow do you turn off workspace switching animations on Macs? Note, I said "turn off", which the "Reduce Motion" setting does not do. Also, how do you get a 4k monitor to run at 144Hz on an Intel Mac?
- GhettoComputers 5y agoDepends which OSX version you have for both, I don't know if your hardware supports the last one, but you might need the correct cable, HDMI doesn't do it for me, and if your intel GPU can't, it won't, not an OSX issue.
- howinteresting 5y agoThey are both MacOS issues. The first one is simply impossible to do on Monterey. The 4k 144 thing is a software regression (so not a hardware limitation) that still hasn't been fixed: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253168625 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253168625
- GhettoComputers 5y agoI hate the every year we update model. I never do it for iOS or OSX. Miss snow leopard: selling point: 0 new features.
- cassianoleal 5y agoI don't have a 4k monitor but I have an ultrawide that does 144Hz. The only way I found to use it that way was via SwitchResX.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoDoes it make a big difference? I heard 60hz freesync would make a bigger difference than high refresh, it looked nice when I had 144hz but aside from me sliding my mouse it didn’t really change anything.
- cassianoleal 5y ago60Hz is absolute minimum, but it's also mostly sufficient. 120-144Hz is a lot nicer though. All animations, scrolling, even just moving the pointer, look and feel smoother and snappier.
- howinteresting 5y agoDepends on the person, but for me it makes a big difference.
