I find it impossible to relate to this stance because no software I use works. Period. I haven't encountered a single piece of software that's not frustrating in the last decade. Tell me all about the archeology and cool shit but this stuff boils my blood at this point.

I mostly agree, but there are gems like SQLite...

This is why I use Apple products now. I don’t care that it’s expensive, I don’t care that it’s locked down. I’m just relieved and somewhat delighted that everything just works. I still have Linux for my gaming desktop and it’s a constant reminder of how good I have it when I have to do things like restart pipe wire to change audio outputs, or having new kernels break stuff. Some of the experiences are downright magical like being able to copy something from my MacBook and paste it on my phone.

  Just to rain on your parade, my mac stops working after resuming from sleep and having a monitor connected (audio plays, nothing is movable or actionable). It also randomly sticks the launchpad icons permanently on screen that won't go away without a reboot. The ctrl key randomly stops working, tested by pressing ctrl-C at random intervals. Sometimes it's perfect, sometimes not.

  Here's a site of one person's experiences of things that have gone wrong with Apple software: https://annoying.technology/ https://annoying.technology/ it's been goint for multiple years now. Software is just buggy in general. I mostly agree with the parent comment. The amount of software that I've never had a negative experience with is close to zero.

  (GP above here) I find Apple software broken all the time too, except I can't fix it like Linux. I have to use OSX for work because my employer requires a MacBook and it's buggy as hell. I use Thinkpad/Linux at home because thanks but no thanks.

  I don't actually find Apple software to be any better.
