What a pervert.

That's like buying a Ferrari and dropping in a Lada engine.

It took me a while to work out that the reason so much of Linux goes through the terminal is because that's what the people who build Linux are used to. They put little to no effort into UX, then grumble that more normies aren't adopting Linux.

I got my first Macbook in 2007, and honestly don't think I touched Terminal for maybe four years. It just wasn't at all necessary for day to day use. So having to wrap my head around terminal commands in order to do so much in Mint is quite a head fuck.

Being able to consistently install things by downloading an exe from a website and just double click it is lacking.

This is something I still have issues with. I've been running Mint on an old Mac mini for six or seven months now, and still have to think to remember what flavour of Linux it's based on when trying to install software.

Then there's the way it has software installed via the store, Flatpak, and the terminal, meaning I have multiple places that need software updates. And that doesn't necessarily cover OS updates.

Don't get me wrong, I like Mint, and I do enjoy the tinkering, but I kinda go by the "Could I put this on my mum's laptop without her having trouble?" rule, and the answer is no. It's close, but no.

Yeah, I’m in the process of shifting all of my workflows over to Linux/Android from all-Apple, but my Macs are a huge sticking point. My main computer is an M2 Macbook Air, which is ridiculously quick. I’m basically just waiting for Asahi to gain display port over USB, at which point I’ll ditch macOS. But until then…

The inability to focus mixed with the forgetfulness is my Achilles heel.

Like, I'll put the butter in the microwave for TEN SECONDS to softe it, then forget I've done so until it beeps and now my butter is a puddle. Ten fucking seconds.

Reid Hoffman can wake up at 4:30am and begin the important work of eating my entire arsehole.

It’s as easy as using ~~two~~ three shells.
