Most of the criticisms here are about the fact that the UI is more customizable on Ubuntu - fair enough, but I can't help but feel that the implication is being made that this is better. I think it's pretty clear that macOS is trying to give you less options (there are, after all, lots of hidden options), but in a considered enough way that almost all users will be happy to have their lives simplified.
I move back and forth between macOS and Ubuntu, and think the combination is wonderful. It keeps me honest in terms of which tools and workflows are actually portable, and makes me appreciate the things each system does better.
- ProAm 4y agoA customizable UI is the first point of contact for usability and productivity. There isnt a reason to not provide these, stability is not an excuse especially when a lot of the answers in this thread are to install a 3rd party utility to accomplish them. Window tiling and mouse button customization are easy and safe.
- Klonoar 4y agoI would argue that the massive company doing usability studies is the first point of contact for… usability. Most people legitimately do not give a single shit about changing this stuff themselves - hell, once they enter Chrome many seem seem to forget the rest of the OS even exists these days.
