- lghh 7mo agoMine shipped with one. It's not perfect, but it's always been more than capable for me. Did yours not boot into anything on startup?
- wasting_time 7mo agoI wonder how many more sales Apple would get if they published enough specs to make Asahi et.al. first-class.
- askonomm 7mo agoThe amount of people that know how to and also want to replace their operating system is effectively a rounding error in the consumer electronic market in general.
- brabel 7mo agoI like Linux and had Linux laptops before, but can’t comprehend why anyone would go as far as replacing MacOS on an Apple laptop. The OS is just fine, there is nothing superior about Linux Desktop environments. And you can easily run Docker containers for work that needs Linux.
- cguess 7mo agoLike 5. Literally 5, total.
- ApolloFortyNine 7mo agoWhy is the finder the way it is? Is it actually easier to use than (whatever the normal file browser windows and linux uses is called) if all you ever use is macs? Most of the other quirks I can work around (though the default alt tab behavior not picking up windows of the same app is an insane default) but the finder is just unusable.
- jon-wood 7mo agoAs much as this saddens me I think its because most computer users these days never think about files. Everything we do on a day to day basis exists as database records, either in sqlite databases hidden away in application data directories, or in the databases behind a million SaaS products. Music is done in Apple Music, photos are managed in iPhoto, and so and so forth.
- golem14 7mo agoIn which way are other GUI “finder-equivalents” better? I’m not invested either way, but I’m quite curious. It would be a great biz opportunity to make an aftermarket replacement if there is huge gap.
- georgeburdell 7mo agoSnarky but I agree. I dislike how much MacOS changes with each version. My kids have a Linux box (NUC). I wish we could have Linux on a late model Mac Mini
- gib444 7mo agoUntil they release an update that slows it down
- allthetime 7mo agoWhich one is that? My M1 MBA absolutely rips still.
- gib444 7mo agoRunning Tahoe?
- themadturk 7mo agoI went back to Sequoia on my M3 MBA not because of speed (which was fine) but aesthetics. Hated the look of Liquid Glass.
- allthetime 7mo agoTahoe looks so gross. Hanging onto Sequoia as long as possible or until they undo this.
- themadturk 7mo agoOddly, except for font sizing, it's OK on the iPhone, and fine on the iPad, too, but it just bothers me endlessly on MacOS. I'm glad Sequoia still works well.
