    After a day at work, forced to use mac, I just have to start my linux machine, even if I do not have anything to do on it, just to feel sane again.

      Mac is actually nice to use though… My wife has one and it was my first exposure to them.

      As a lifelong Windows user, I recall vividly asking myself “why am I not being abused by random pop ups and an overly complicated process to achieve basic things right now?” over and over while working on her machine.

      Plus their graphical interface is a pleasure to work with once you get past some of its quirks. If I wasn’t already happily on Linux I would definitely move to Mac.

        It may only be possible to say so because I have not used windows in 20ish years, but I find mac to be completely horrible.

        Super slow. Even the arm ones, to switch to the workspace where my vscode windows are takes like 4 seconds, starting bash (I have gone through my bashrc like 10 times) takes several seconds. After a boot it takes minutes before everything is loaded in the settings, meaning some settings are not available directly after boot (why is the settings window modular and dynamic like that?)

        The mouse speed and accelleration just feels like I’m stuck in butter. I have made some config change outside of the settings to speed up the mouse, but I have to reboot to make them take effect is insane. Accelleration is suppose to be off, but that disgusting buttery feeling is still there. If I switch to linux it is not.

        They had an update where they broke ssh. They fucking broke ssh for like two months. How the fuck am I suppose to work on it?

        Not having a proper distinction between left and right opt/cmd/control which makes adapting keyboard layout to your personal workflow hard as shit.

        You have to like click everything and random shit grabs the window focus all the time. So many times I have switched workspace or something and it displayed it but the focus is still left on the laptop or something. Randomly you have to click on a window instead of just using a keybind to get there.

    First thing I noticed about this photo is that she’s holding her hair away from the ground while putting her mouth right on it. I’m not sure why but that seems funny to me.

    Genuinely, the more I use Linux the more slow and clunky windows feels. Also I’m a power user, when you install custom apps on windows it FEELS bloated, it’s like “you didn’t do this the WINDOWS way, so it’s clunky” meanwhile on Linux it’s like “yeah man it’s open just plug in whatever” and it JUST WORKS

    I had to click 4 times over 90 seconds on “sleep” on my work laptop windows 11 machine today before it actually did anything.

    A meme can’t be more right.

    10 years ago I wouldn’t have imagined this, but this is me every time I have to use Windows (e.g., occasionally for work) or help someone else with it.

    I find it hard to understand how people are able to kiss the ground without the thought getting in their mind that - someone probably spat/pissed in that place not too long ago.

    I switch back to it to play half life alyx which I borrowed, otherwise usually it’s sitting in a virtual machine (its corner)
