As someone who uses Linux daily and generally dislikes macOS, I got all my Linux tools up and running on macOS, Docker runs well and many Linux things I run on an external cluster. So I am content.
The macOS UI is bit annoying and the fact that you have to install tiny apps like to have a separate trackpad and mouse scrolling direction is not ideal, but yeah it's all dwarfed by the fact I finally can't hear any fans and performance is just as good as plugged in.
I can't remember when I last time had a laptop on a sofa without having to worry about the charger and getting laps uncomfortably hot.
- Bellyache5 4y agoYou don’t need separate apps to set scrolling directions for the trackpad and external nice. It’s all in System Preferences.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoThey're separate tickboxes yes, but if you tick one it ticks the other. At least it did when I still used macOS on portables. Now I only have a mini left for work
- BigJ1211 4y agoI just checked on my work Macbook, this is still correct and utterly stupid behaviour. 'Natural scroll direction' is global for all pointer devices. Internal, external trackpad and mouse.
- KptMarchewa 4y agoThe toggle bundles trackpad and scrolling setting in one - I want to have their "natural scroll direction" on trackpad and reverse on mice. Scroll reverser allows you to set them up separately.
- brailsafe 4y agoI've never used Linux daily, always macOS or osx, but all the same tooling probably day to day and the M series will be a no-brainer upgrade when it comes time. I would like some more colours that aren't super fingerprinty in the pro line though. Pretty bored of silver and grey
