The category of things that don't "just work" on a Mac for me compared to Linux and even Windows is just a class apart. You can't compare shared buffers between phones being flaky or using face time on PC to answer calls from iphone being glitchy to my browser crashing when I try to screenshare, repeatedly, on linux.
- ssl-3 7mo agoI absolutely can compare these things. I don't even have to move any goalposts. - shared buffers between phones being flaky: Can't fix. Acceptance-only. - using face time on PC to answer calls from iphone being glitchy: Can't fix. Acceptance-only. - my browser crashing when I try to screenshare, repeatedly, on linux: Can fix. I don't have to accept this.
- rafaelmn 7mo ago1. and 2. are never even an options on linux - there's probably some way but the effort/payoff is basically a nogo. On apple I get those by default just by using the same apple id on the devices. It's not a principled comparison but a practical one between using these systems. Again if you're coming from MacOS and expect Linux to be better at "just works" you're in for a bad surprise.
- ssl-3 7mo ago> On apple I get those by default just by using the same apple id on the devices. It's not a principled comparison but a practical one between using these systems. Right. That's why you're complaining about how they don't work. Anyway, I never suggested that Linux is better at "just works." Instead, I suggested that -all- of them have issues and further posited that, on Linux, those issues are actionable. I am disinclined to defend a position that I do not hold.
