This.
I had a contract a while back that meant I had to work on desktop Linux for the first time in years.
The experience on my XPS13 is not as good as macOS[1]. It’s not far off though …and FOSS is always improving.
They have the edge right now but if Apple keeps neglecting macOS, degrade it to be more like iOS[2] or keep adding rent seeking nagware, Linux will be “good enough” for me.
1. Seriously, why can’t I have subtitles off by default as a preference in Gnome Video again?
2. Why is there an unused dictation toggle on my iOS keyboard but no undo key? Why can’t I copy and paste in every iOS app? Why is the spell checker so hard to trigger? etc, etc
- KerrAvon 4y agoCan’t answer the rest of it, but copy and paste works anywhere there’s a standard text field unless the developer has gone to the trouble of disabling it. There are ways to make it work in non-standard text fields as well. You should send bug reports to the developers of the apps where it’s not working, same as you would if it didn’t work in macOS apps.
