- WuxiFingerHold 2y agoIt's not that bad anymore (e.g. with system 76), but I understand the point. I disagree with OP celebrating Apple to be the least evil of the evils. Yes, there are not many (if any) alternatives, but that doesn't make Apple great. It's just less shitty.

- pas 2y agoyesterday I booted into my Kubuntu installation. it's on a rusty spinning disk on purpose. even after half of a century since the mother of all demos we still cannot preload the fucking "start menu" or whatever is the more correct technical term for that thing that _eventually_ shows the applications when you click on it.
- righthand 2y agoThere’s a bug for this? Or are you just complaining thinking someone in the software contributors world can here you? I can’t even find how to open the Applications view in Finder 9/10 times on a Mac.
- righthand 2y agoThis an Apple zealot thread. They aren’t reasonable or actually interested in computing outside of Apple. They will talk shit about Linux all day in this thread or any other one but if you criticize Apple it’s to the guillotine for your comment. I’m surprised yours is still standing.
