    It's because they ruined Linux! Damn Linux users!

    As a Linux user I'm quite fond of MacOS. There's not really anything special about it but other than the unremovable first-party bloat ware its easy to use and stays out of my way, which is really the best I can ask for.

    [–] lud@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    I'm personally not a fan of the UI and I think the keyboard keys and shortcuts are awful but to be fair I barely use MacOS. I only use it when I need to test something specific on MacOS.

    [–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    The shortcuts are bad at first just because they’re different, but once you learn them all, they’re way better than Windows’ shortcuts.

    [–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

    oh yeah, what's the shortcut to open LinkedIn on mac?

    [–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    How are they better than Windows or Linux shortcuts?

    [–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    From my experience, you can just get to where you want to get faster with them. The globe key is also pretty nice if you switch languages a lot like I do. (Yes, I know you can do this with 2 key presses on windows but being able to do it in one is nice.)

    [–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Is there a globe key on Mac? I must have missed that one. I can see that being useful if you type in languages which use different alphabets but not otherwise.

    Even if doing a shortcut is barely any slower.

    [–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Yeah, it’s the bottom left key. You can assign it to do all sorts of stuff (I think it’s emoji by default for US models). I use it to switch between Japanese and English keyboard.

    [–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    Ah, alright I have an fn key there instead. Which I actually prefer because sacrificing prime real estate for a language key seems like a waste.

    [–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    I really like how Gnome has the super key and kinda combines Spotlight and Mission control into the same function.

    After I got a free iMac and using it for a while, I don't think I can go back to Linux daily. It'll still be on my laptop, and my gaming PC, and eventually this Mac will die and I'll have to reassess. Linux is still just way too complicated for me to complete even basic tasks.

    The biggest drawback of MacOS is all the software that's locked behind the Apple Store, which I refuse to use.

    You don't mind their UI conventions? I suppose I could probably get used to them, but while I'm comfortable with Windows and Linux desktop environments, I find the Mac one to be quite unpleasant to use for some reason.

    [–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

    No. I still prefer Gnome but Mac is fine.

    [–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

    I miss years ago when you could run full KDE 3 on x11 and basically go in and out of a near Linux environment.

    Now I only use it as a terminal because the power management is better.
