Last week, I switched to a Mac for the first time in my life after using Windows and Linux for around 30 years. Naturally, I hate a lot of things due to old habits, and the shortcuts constantly confuse me. But what really surprises me is the number of obvious bugs in common workflows. At least five times a day, I catch myself thinking, "There's no way this is actually broken." I didn't expect macOS to be even buggier than Windows.
That said, the hardware and the absence of Windows' user-hostile nonsense bring me endless joy. I don't think I'll go back to a PC (the Mac feels like a different class of quality) but to be honest, I expected more.
Off the top of my head I'm mainly thinking about `cut and paste` in Finder, that's a very common one people complain about, but other than that I'm curious what you're referring to if it's happening five times a day with new things, any chance you could outline some examples?
Examples just from today: Window snapping (or whatever it's called on mac) stops working until restart, keyboard type detection gets broken because it thinks my mouse is a keyboard so suddenly " and > are replaced, title bar disappears then the apple logo is halfway off screen when it randomly comes back.
I took a Mac at my current job since I really don't like Windows and I figured I would probably be able to hack it. I use Linux for all my personal stuff, all I need is bash and a browser, yeah?
Pfft. Nothing works, and a patronizing, laggy OS that actively tries to fight me at every step because it knows better than me.
What a joy. I'm sticking with Ubuntu/Fedora and having to figure out a driver issue every once in a while.
