    It’s 2023 and Apple is a trillion dollar company, and they still don’t have window snapping/tiling in OSX. I don’t have anything positive to say about their OS lol.

    Meanwhile yesterday I fucked up my linux installation trying to find alternatives on how to be use the wheel click without having things pasted with it :/

    I’ll be trying again when I am not lazy to reinstall it again.

      Click “Activities” in the upper right and search for “tweaks”, click the “Tweaks” icon. Select “Keyboard & Mouse” and turn “Middle Click Paste” to “off”.

      For Gnome ^ but I’m at work and can’t confirm.

    I don’t agree with the Mac one.

    The Mac UI is basically windows 3.1.

    It’s absolutely awful.

    Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that’s it. You can’t open anything, you can’t delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

    It’s so fucking bad.

    I actually like Linux, but I’m considering just blocking all the Linux communities because it’s so incredibly boring to just see you guys circle jerking all day long. We get it. We all get it.

      That might be acceptable if they didn’t turn at least half of the bullshit back on with every bigger update. And some things just can’t be turned off. E.g last time I checked it was impossible to tell Windows not to “recommend” setting edge as default browser in the fucking start menu.

    And yet most people choose Windows.

    You guys will never ever understand and you’ll be on your death bed screaming Linux DE is just fine and totally just as easy to use.

    Calm down MacOS hasn’t done shit to make it better. They decide what you do and don’t get, daddy apple already made the decision and you have to deal with it.

    “We did the thinking for you, and you’ll like it.” Might as well be their slogan.

      When I got a macbook from work I was honestly choked at how awful things were.

      Even the simplest of tasks required googling. It was so very unintuitive.

      I mean, I had to do some weird dragging to install an application!?

      Even to this day, I totally avoid using it.

        Ah yes, the notoriously unintuitive feature known as… drag and drop.

          Err, why couldn’t they do the double click like everything else?

          Double click and then do a drag and drop, totally intuitive.

            That’s… exactly what you do. macOS software is usually distributed in DMG files (compressed disk images). You download the DMG, open it (with a double click in Finder), then drag and drop the APP file to your Applications folder (or wherever else you want it to be).

            Speaking of APP files, the structure of macOS apps is vastly superior to that of Windows, imo. Linux generally has them both beat, but there’s some additional complexity there.

              I have to agree with the other person actually. The drag and drop thing is kind of weird. They ought to just automate it.

              Other than that I think Mac is fairly easy to use, and more customizable than people realize.

              I do wish they had better window management though. GNOME and Windows both make window snapping so much easier than Mac. And the support for third party hardware on Mac is pretty bad.

                The drag and drop thing is because it’s an app file. “Installation” is just putting the file in your application folder, or wherever you want it. Apps are (usually) just files, unlike on windows, so you don’t need to go through a complicated installation process, just put them where you want them (usually the applications folder).

                The window snapping thing is annoying (but it’s not apple’s fault, Microsoft has a patent on it lol). There’s a bunch of free apps that add window snapping though 🤷‍♀️

    Man, this is the kind of “Linux” meme I wanted to get away from when moving away from Reddit.

    Can we please instead make memes that don’t just boil down to “Windows bad”?

        Actually, you’re right. Scratch Reddit. Every single Linux meme community I’ve seen on the internet so far eventually boils down to repetitive “Windows bad” memes.

          I was joking, but you are of course right.

          It’s one of the reasons why people like me are put off using linux, especially when you have to ask those same smug linux users for advice when your first install hits a snag or you have an issue installing drivers.

          It’s very human behaviour, it’s nice to feel special because you’re part of an in-group which you deem superior, but yeah.
