So far, I am finding my second foray into macOS more pleasant. I think a large part of that comes down to having different (more informed and more pessimistic) expectations, and another large part being that I'm coming from a relatively much more annoying Windows setup that I just spent a year suffering with. I tend to find myself at odds with macOS' design goals. Some of this is that some of Apple's values are directly opposed to mine, and some of it has to do with my poor vision. But macOS has never felt welcoming or inviting to me, so I've never really managed to maintain the kind of curiosity about it necessary for seeking to meet it 'on its own terms'.
