What’s interesting is that I recently got a MB Air after being away from Mac since ~2019. The touchbar on the keyboard and awful keyboard quality drove me away.
Now I return from having spent the intervening years with an Ubuntu laptop and Windows 10 desktop as my daily drivers at home and Windows 11 at work for the last year.
MacOS is so much better than any of the alternatives. Maybe the bar really is just too low but that’s my experience.

- SkiFire13 10mo ago> touchbar on the keyboard Didn't they get rid of it a couple of years ago?
- simianparrot 10mo agoThat was one of the reasons I even considered getting a new MB Air yes; I certainly wouldn't if they'd still have those.
- deadlocked 10mo agoThe Air never had the Touchbar. Only the Pro line had it.
- simianparrot 10mo agoYes well that wasn't the point. I was fed up with the direction and quality (or lack thereof) of Apple laptops at the time. I wasn't going to chance it on an Air , which at the time wasn't relevant to my use either due to its specs.

I don’t want Mac or Windows, they both suck in ways I can’t change. Sure, Linux can be rougher, but at least I’m not helpless here. I can make the changes I need, and the software is generally less broken IME.
