I wish I knew what the hell is going in at Apple. They are releasing shit products ever since Jobs died. Their hardware is expensive, but they got everything I cared about exactly right, in a way that Wintel and Android never did. Now though? God damn it, Apple. You were my comfortable escape from the Windows trap. I don't have viable alternatives for you. Android and Windows are still shit; I can't go back to them. I am so fucked.

@thor linux is fast approaching "good enough, if not better" territory, especially with something curated like manjaro

@Alonealastalovedalongthe @hector I usually mention "mainstream creative professional software" in the same breath as macOS to avoid getting bombarded with friendly but unhelpful mentions of Linux, but I was getting tired of repeating it, so I dropped it. Now I will instead have to be tired of listening to people recommending Linux to me. If I was a coder only, and also wasn't bothered by basic parts of the user experience being absent, Linux would be fine.

@hector @Alonealastalovedalongthe It's the (not so) little things, like installing Ubuntu and finding that I can't get the WiFi to work, and then fiddling with settings for hours and STILL not getting it to work. Then I try to attach an external monitor. Oh, hey, this webcam works but only a shoddy home-made config tool exists for it. Oops, I need something that isn't GIMP for image editing. Etc etc etc etc...
