Pretty amusing having a diehard mac user review installing linux on their mac

  Great in one way as they don't sugarcoat things like the defaults for the key mappings but not great in another with things like Gnome not supporting middle click for window titles is a problem for someone so aligned with macOS :p. Edit: KDE->Gnome

    Actually KDE supports middle click actions for titlebars and frames (the settings window is open in front of me). Maybe it's different for X11 and Wayland? I'm on X11.

      Sorry, got Gnome/KDE flipped from the article.

        Oh, OK. No worries. :)

          Good catch!

      Wait, this is my first time using this on my KDE install. When I middle click the titlebar, it just gives me a sort of "quick menu" (for many apps, it's just a quick link to some settings modals). What is the "UX consistent" intended use paradigm for the middle click and the macOS action/event chain?

  I wrote and submitted the Register article. I am a long-term Mac user, sure, but I am not a "die-hard" one and my normal role at the Reg is as the Linux guy. As an example: I am typing on the MacBook Air I used right now. It has a horrible keyboard and a poor trackpad, not enough ports, is not nearly repairable enough, and I would never spend my own money on one of these things.
