I'm with you here. I've been using a Mac at my new job since November. I fucking hate it. I have burned so much time on stuff not working, and it's not just me - others seem to just accept and forget it. One great example of this is the recent bout of zero days: forty five minutes for a minor release update? How on earth does anyone think that's acceptable?
I'm no longer a fan of Windows, having moved along to Linux on my personal machine, but both Windows and Linux are in a completely different universe to MacOS when it comes to bare minimum competency.
- yurishimo 4y agoCan you outline some other problems you have lost time to besides a software update? I agree that they’re pretty long too, but if that’s your only complaint it’s a bit moot since every OS provides a mechanism for installing updates during off hours.
- zamalek 4y agoNotwithstanding that you don't leave a zero day unpatched til after hours, some other time sinks: * M1 compatability issues. * Problems surrounding containers. Yes, I have used Rancher Desktop, yes I have used Colima. Neither is a first-class citizen. (As-per usual with Mac dev tools). * Dual monitor. * External keyboards, keyboard shortcuts, and customizations.
