I gotta say I might dislike Microsoft more than Apple…
But I kiss ground returning to Linux or Windows after being stuck on Mac OS.
Windows is an old comfort. I know all the shortcuts. I hate their brand, ethos, etc.
But when I am stuck using an Apple product I want to rip off my fucking skin. Fuck your command key, stop trying to be special. Your system tray is obnoxious. I hate your unified application menu bar, it makes no sense with un-maximized windows. You got rid of the single button mouse because yeah obviously that was stupid, why not get rid of the rest? Firewire? Fuck off. Those fucking charging cables. Fuck. Off.
Fuck Microsoft, but Apple don’t catch enough hate. Fuck them too for their benign prison of an ecosystem.
…
Sorry. I get way more bent out of shape having to use macos or ios for work than I do windows. Way more. Fuck em both. I can handle powershell. I cannot handle a fucking circus of bullshit.
Every Mac I must use at work gets a Linux VM. I will not tolerate their operating systems. I don’t do the same for windows at work. I tolerate it.
I feel this post in my heart and just wanted to say I support you 100%.
What I really hate about macOS (and iOS) is Apple prioritizing fancy design over functionality. Liquid Glass is just bad UI with shitty contrast, to the point where they had to dial it down before the final release to make it somewhat useable. And doing things like hiding the username field in Apple Mail so you have to enter a fail state first before it gets shown to you is absolute garbage. Apps don’t have to look as clean as possible, they have to be fucking functional.
…and why are we still including .DS_Store files when zipping a directory and creating them on network drives? What is this? 2001 Windows XP with its useless Thumbs.db files? Even Microsoft has long moved on from storing thumbnails in this way.
Mac OS is just NeXTStep (i.e. UNIX) with a candy coating. It’s annoyingly proprietary (especially these days, compared to the early OS X era) but it’s fine for a work machine.
