Jeepers. These comments. I agree with you. I love Linux, but, unless you’re lucky enough to have perfect hardware, Linux is still a bit hard to use. Mac and Windows are heading that way too. Macs require a Mac, and new Windows PCs have hardware requirements as well. I’m on my third distro for one of my Linux PCs because of hardware issues. I love Linux, but sometimes it’s a pain.

I think I first saw this (or something close) on reddit in like 2010 which even then was dated. Really brings me back in a "that shit fucking sucked" way.

People saying switch windows and Mac to make modern but I'm pretty sure that kids toy is going to have less bugs and is much less likely to crash. It's also streamlined and does what you expect it to quickly. I don't know if that's what Macs are like but it's definitely not my experience with windows.

Pfffthhhth

It depends on a user

MacOS is so much better than Windows in every way. The amount of software available is crazy. So many nice apps, menubar tools, finder alternatives etc. And they're generally nicely designed and updated, which very much isn't the case for Windows. Using Windows has been a horrible experience for the past 20 years, and it wasn't great before that. Want some basic simple app for a specific thing? It's either some heavily bloated shit that costs money and takes up way more system resources than it needs to or it's a several-decades-old thing that just doesn't work anymore.

The better metaphor for the Mac would be a bicycle.

Downvotes? Don't bicycles have a far cleaner and more intuitive interface while elegantly reaching their destination?

You can't compare velocity, Linux is not that much faster on the same hardware that that property of the plane would be relevant.
