MacOS, once reliable and straightforward, now feels like a puzzle board. Snow Leopard was great, it prioritized performance and stability, not adding unnecessary bells and whistles - it was the best MacOS I've used to far. Both MacOS and iOS need to return to their roots. MacOS needs to prioritize performance and stability, and iOS needs to simplify. Trim the fat, focus on what matters, and make these platforms user-friendly again.
Even decade-old hardware running Ubuntu Linux can outperform MacOS. It's not about the hardware any more, it's about the software!

- gary17the 3y agoIf you care about having the very latest versions of all apps, tools, compilers, etc. go with a "rolling distro" such as Manjaro (easier to setup) or Arch Linux (more advanced to administer). If you prefer upgrade stability (and a huge community with a lot of help), go with a "checkpoint distro" such as Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support). For a desktop environment, I found LXQt (Ubuntu + LXQt = the Lubuntu distro) to be both very fast and quite modern-looking at the same time (especially if you invest some time into customizing it), while KDE Plasma (Ubuntu + KDE = the Kubuntu distro) is probably the best looking Linux out of the box, but somewhat more resource hungry.
