Having switched back to Linux after many years, even looking at Mac OS feels like poverty now. Not because of the UX or hardware but because of the company behind it.
- juujian 2y agoFeels like poverty?
- dima55 2y agoThey can't afford more mouse buttons?
- GordonS 2y agoThat'll be the "next big thing" they'll gushing about on stage: an incredible new mouse with TWO (2!) buttons! Of course, it'll be a $600 upgrade...
- pantalaimon 2y agoLinux seems to be the only OS that makes good use of the middle mouse button, unfortunately many mice are not designed for that kind of wear on the button, so this is always the first to break :(
- nequo 2y agoMaybe the thought of buying one brings up mental images of going broke? Decent hardware that Linux is happy with is definitely much cheaper than a decent MacBook.
- nawgz 2y agoThat seems like a bit of an emotionally driven non sequitur, to say the least!
- adamwong246 2y agoPoverty is not quite the right word. "Sterility" is the word I would use. My linux machine is a complex, fiddly beast, which I treat like a bonsai tree. My mac, however, gives me "dead mall vibes" in comparison. It's not all bad, I get more work done. But it certainly does not feel "alive" in the same way my linux machines feel.

- tmiku 2y agoThe "alive" point hits the nail on the head for me, and covers the full system health spectrum - my underspec'd homelab/project laptop certainly feels alive, in the sense that only things that are alive can cough up blood.
- rgrieselhuber 2y agoYeah that’s a better way to put it. I meant “poverty” in a somewhat spiritual sense, like a lack of aliveness that you’re talking about. It is weird to talk about operating systems this way I guess, but it is how it feels.
