    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.

    If you install windows and set the language to be english (world), there will be no preinstalled BS apps like tiktok.

    Of course most people wont do that

      That’s so long as your install source/disk is multi regional. Most Windows install images are for a specific region unless you’re lucky to have MSDN or bought a non-crappy OEM Windows disk.

    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.

      I was missing the KDE style drag/resize windows with modifier keys, then I found https://penc.app that kinda fills that void

      it also does snapping and auto 50% with trackpad gesture

    I read about “how much Crap there is in windows” and thought linux should be much smoother to run on my laptop. But it turns out to be the opposite. Firefox for windows works much better than Firefox for linux. For me windows just works. Linux even without telemetry struggles to perform as good as windows.

      I was also disappointed with how slow Firefox was on Linux compared to Windows.

      I got Firefox back to smooth on Linux by installing Liquorix kernel and switching from x11 to wayland

    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”?

    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 🤷‍♀️

        An aside, You can make KDE feel like that, but youd know every hairbrain behavor because you did it yourself.
