The Off Topic Topic

I grew up in a mostly PC environment as a kid/young adult.  At some point, I got a Macbook, and used/was issued a Macbook for the last 4 years.

For about the last ~10 years I've kept a PC for gaming, and use a Macbook laptop for web cruising/casual stuff, and feel pretty proficient in both systems.

I recently had to ask for a new work computer and decided to go with a mac as with some other small reasons I figured it'd be good for keeping a solid division between work and personal use.
Simple things suck. Just snipping a small bit of the screen

My experience with Apple products is that they make difficult things easy and easy things difficult.

Agree...just a basic thing like maneuvering through files/folders in MacOS is more frustrating than in Windows.

It probably goes in the other direction as well.  I got a MacBook Pro at work, and I could never get used to it to the point where I'm nearly as productive with it as with a shitty HP laptop.  The biggest problem for me was that it tried to be so helpful to me by removing control from me that I could never do anything I wanted without a lot of headache.

Working in a media company and they planned to move to 100% Mac and there was an absolute revolt in the legal team

Yeah, at Twitter finance and legal had a number of users of Windows machines.

I use all 3 in both my personal and professional life. My Mac is a MacBook Air from 2018. I will not be getting an other one. I much prefer tinkering in Linux distro than using MacOS. It has a awesome screen tho.

Similar, except I grew up in an Apple II -> Mac environment.
I still use a MacBook with Windows as a dual-boot option, and use various flavors of Linux and Unix on other computers. I don't find Macs too difficult to use compared to Windows, but that's because I just open up the terminal and use that to get anything slightly difficult done. Windows, on the other hand, makes me have to click everywhere rather than let me type in my commands via a command line interface.

I dual boot to Mint on my own PC, when I need to do some data science.  Mint is so much easier to use than MacOS, even though both descend from Unix one way or another.

[HisMajestyBOB]

I prefer Debian. Rock-solid and stable, and most of my interface is going to be through the terminal so I don't care how it looks.

I dream of one day sliding through time and space into a world where Acorn survived and RISCOS remains a viable choice
