- exe34 1y agoTbh I'd avoid MacOS if I can't run emacs on it.
- Jtsummers 1y agoI've used emacs nearly daily, most of that time with emacs --daemon and computer uptimes measured in months, on macOS (nee OS X) for nearly 20 years. It works fine. I've never encountered whatever issue this post is about in all that time. I cannot think of an instance when emacs froze up on me.
- ergonaught 1y ago~22 years of daily Emacs on MacOS, and never encountered (or never noticed) it, either. Perhaps a build issue. I think my Linux builds may run slightly better, and Windows slightly worse, but I haven't had a problem on Mac in decades.
- kstrauser 1y agoThirded. I don't doubt that some people have problems with it. Software that runs on lots of differently-configured and -maintained systems will do that. However, I don't think that's the common case. I wouldn't say I've never had problems, but they've been rare and minor inconveniences at most.
- f1shy 1y agoThe funny thing is I bought a mac some years ago because Emacs was installed by default. Sadly does bot come anymore installed, probably because of bad support
- worik 1y ago"inflexible ideology" is the dominant paradigm for Apple is it not? Mēh! Maybe not "inflexible", more "inscrutable", very hard to discern any method to their madness....
