Yes.. but how would I know it had I not read about it here? I have to use macs at work and it's filled with "WTF?" moments. Like why the hell would I want to make something fullscreen with the green button on the window title bar, when coming from linux/windows I expect it to maximise the window.. and window maximising is done by some weird incantation.
Installing of applications is done by dragging them into some place, and then there is no feedback about what is happening. And so on and on.
- dvtrn 4y ago> but how would I know it had I not read about it here? Presumably you’ve been a windows user long enough, or at least exposed to Windows enough times to have figured out you can double click a title bar in that operating system and maximize a window, so it’s probably not too far of a stretch to guess you would have figured it out in macOS by simply trying to do the same thing Agreeably macOS is highly opinionated when it comes to “discovering” some of the hidden interaction features, but come on. You really wouldn’t have had any other way to figure how to embiggen a window without without having to come to HN and read the above comment? That feels like an extreme example for the sake of being oppositional
