I needed to hear that. Thank you

There’s a DCS rip, which is pretty good.

Thank you for providing examples. Some are fair enough.

file explorer has no way to access the root directory

It has several ways. From the menu bar: > Go to… > Folder > /

By default Finder no longer shows your main drive in the sidebar. You can easily enable that in Finder settings though.

You can also navigate the folder hierarchy up until you are at root. cmd + up is the keyboard shortcut for that. You can also command + click the icon in the window title bar and then select the folder upwards in the hierarchy you want to navigate to.

There are several other ways to do this as well.

reboot

A very common way to resolve problems on all operating systems.

update breaks all local domains

Weird.

release after release the experience would worsen and usability would degrade

I agree that macOS experience has worsened over the last couple of years. It’s still better than Linux and windows overall.

macOS uses more aggressive caching of the filesystem and other things. Using available memory isn’t bad.

Swap is also bette4 because Apple chooses actually fast SSDs.

Using a Mac with only 8 GB of RAM is a lot more fun and performant than a windows machine.

There are very few and limited AI features now. For example Mail has a button to summarize text. There’s also a mediocre local AI to generate images. Apple focuses on locally run small AI models that add small features. It’s not in your face and demands you use it. You can easily ignore the AI features.

They are similar overall, yes. Skills and knowledge also transfers between distros. The experience can vary significantly.

If your hardware is correctly detected gets the correct drivers including non free firmware installed, and is correctly configured varies wildly.

For some distros you might have to switch to the iwd instead of networkmanager for wifi to work correctly. You might have to disable powersaving on your wifi or Bluetooth to work correctly. If keyboard backlight works out of the box also varies. Bluetooth audio without cracks, distortion, artifacts might also need tweaking of bluetooth or wifi. Some drivers might only work well with certain kernel versions too.

Software compatibility has gotten a lot better thanks to flatpak and appimage. However having a current version in the package manager instead of having to search for it is nice. Even then you might have to try several options until you find one that works.

The quality of the documentation and the user community also matters a lot in practice. Do they yell at noobs to RTFM or answer welcoming and politely?

Ubuntu, PopOS, Kubuntu, or Mint

Did you just say Ubuntu four times?

That’s what the average Linux noob or casual user does.

Start a community named !fediversedrama on actual free speech instance like sh.itjust.works or one of the piefed instances, shitpost until you attract drama.

Might be a good question for !asklemmy@lemmy.world. However lemmy.world is pretty restrictive, so your post might be locked or deleted.

Lots of other links in the comments as well.

There were also posts on feddit.org about this, but I can’t find it at the moment because Lemmy‘s search sucks.

They downvoted him because he spoke the truth.

dbzer0 doesn’t stand for Freedom of speech in the slightest. Look up the drama on why they defederated from feddit.org

Yes, it’s done often.

Linux users hating on systemd, wayland, emacs, bash, etc. is part of the culture.

The hate some have for Ubuntu and Omarchy is ridiculous. These are some of the best user experience focused distros out there.

Meanwhile Fedora‘s (Red Hat) dominance is never even questioned.

Also you should use OpenSuse, it’s the best distro out there.

Men don’t get enough compliments and often worry about the adequacy of their penises.

If you want make a man happy, compliment their penis.

I’m getting a chameleon as a pet.

This is a mastodon post.

Common sense is the one all the way in the back in the picture.

Because it feeds into people‘s antisemitic ZOG conspiracy theories.

There is zero proof for this conspiracy theory.

Plenty of ten year old machines are still fast enough for most tasks. My old laptop has a quad core i7, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD. It’s a shame it’s losing support.
