I am not pretending MacOS is bug free, again I was just asking for your issues with the OS. But from what I've seen in your replies it seems you post-hoc justified your opinion by googling for known issues.
Unless you're claiming you have all of these issues, constantly and consistently?
Even a Mac does well with the occasional reboot, I have never had a system that was completely issue free. Be it Windows, Mac or Linux.
>> My Mac and Linux shortcuts align more than my Windows and Linux/Mac ones
>Because.. you changed your linux shortcuts to match macos? The most obvious example is that ctrl+c/s/v etc are instead command+c/s/v on macos.
I literally said in my post that the most common ones have CMD instead of CTRL, this is more than "a bit disingenuous".
The reason I prefer the Super + key, is so it doesn't mess with using CTRL+key in the terminal. As that behaviour is running contrary to expectations set by every other OS. CTRL+C doesn't mean copy in the terminal, it means terminate the currently running program. CTRL+A doesn't mean "select all" it means, jump to the start of the line.
Programs shouldn't be overwriting OS level shortcuts, though I completely understand how it came to be. It is really counter-intuitive for new users. Super + key makes more sense for OS level shortcuts, as it's literally the Windows symbol on most keyboards.
>> I hope you realise that saying “very buggy and inconsistent” without naming anything specific isn’t any less vague and ambiguous than “usability and comfort”.
>There are literally dozens of examples of issues listed in this thread. I hope you realize that saying 'give me examples' when there are many many examples all around the post your replying too is a bit disingenuous. I can't keep repeat ing what I've already posted in the thread in every single comment.
I don't know how you read, but I read from comment to comment, top to bottom.
I'm in the top thread where you made the claims without any examples, I don't know why you expect me to look elsewhere for the examples that you might have posted or not. Nor why you think I would look for other people's issues.
If you think that's disingenuous that's your prerogative, I think that's how most people read these thread's including you. You don't need to keep repeating the same thing, you can literally just link your comment with the specifics.
- wubrr 3y ago> But from what I've seen in your replies it seems you post-hoc justified your opinion by googling for known issues. Really? I 'post-justified' my opinion by posting the same set of issues in another comment hours before you replied to me? Why are you even trying to psycho-analyze my comments and come up with your own imagined motivations for them? > Unless you're claiming you have all of these issues, constantly and consistently? I've experienced every single issue I've mentioned. Now you're trying to quantify how 'constantly and consistently' issues appear? You're already going in circles - either they are so constant and consistent that I 'post-justified' my entire criticism based on the popularity of these issues, or they are so rare and inconsistent that they should be ignored? > I have never had a system that was completely issue free. Be it Windows, Mac or Linux. What is this statement supposed to represent other than blanket blessing of macos bugs? If windows has a bug - macos bugs are okay? > as it's literally the Windows symbol on most keyboards. That's not really a good reason. > I don't know how you read, but I read from comment to comment, top to bottom. I'm in the top thread where you made the claims without any examples, I don't know why you expect me to look elsewhere for the examples that you might have posted or not. Nor why you think I would look for other people's issues. I don't care how you read and I don't expect anything from you. If you're in a thread where many macos issues are mentioned, you can attempt to read the other comments in the thread, read the other replies to the same comment you're about to reply to, look at my other recent comments, etc. Instead of pretending that macos issues don't exist, then claiming that my criticism is 'post-justified' after I give you examples, and finally waving the issues off because 'linux and windows also have bugs'.
