I think contrasting with Linux is indeed interesting. Apple deserves also more flak for this because they so long were running with lines like "it just works" (old favorite of Jobs), and using "quality" as marketing point; throwing stones in glass houses I say. At least on Linux it feels more acknowledged that stuff is complicated and occasionally break, instead of living in some weird kafkaesque experience where you are not sure if you are just imagining things or is everything broken.
- apozem 4y agoMy brother was just complaining to me about Apple Notes. He finds it maddening when he takes a note on his iPad, switches to his phone, opens Notes and it's not there. No loading spinner, no indication that something went wrong, no message that it will be there, nothing. When things go wrong, it is exactly as you say- weird and infuriating.
