Same here! I'd love to know why the author keeps crawling back to Mac after trying Linux. I feel grateful that Linux exists and would never contemplate moving away from it. I totally understand that I am an esoteric techie and other people may have different experiences, of course. But in the ~14 years Linux has been my daily driver, it has improved so much.
- geniium 2y agofor me the main reason is that mac just works. I spent less time configuring my OS and tinkering around and just focus on my work.
- worthless-trash 2y agoIs it just because you can't on a mac ?
- geniium 2y agowhat do u mean?
- worthless-trash 2y agoThere are choices and source available for Linux, not so much for tooling on osx.
- bhaak 2y agoFor low levels of "it just works". Every major OS update Apple changes something that breaks either specific programs or restricts the OS further which leads to breakage. The "too many files open" error could be fixed by raising the limit of open files (there are instances where a tool really does need lots of open files and isn't leaking) but nowadays I need to break the security of my own hardware to maybe be able to raise it as Apple adds hoops and is changing what to do every so often.
- geniium 2y agoyou're right - lately mac seems to have been doing bad moves. In "lately" I mean since 5-10 years
