      I miss years ago when you could run full KDE 3 on x11 and basically go in and out of a near Linux environment.

      Now I only use it as a terminal because the power management is better.

      You don’t mind their UI conventions? I suppose I could probably get used to them, but while I’m comfortable with Windows and Linux desktop environments, I find the Mac one to be quite unpleasant to use for some reason.

      I’m personally not a fan of the UI and I think the keyboard keys and shortcuts are awful but to be fair I barely use MacOS. I only use it when I need to test something specific on MacOS.

        The shortcuts are bad at first just because they’re different, but once you learn them all, they’re way better than Windows’ shortcuts.

            From my experience, you can just get to where you want to get faster with them. The globe key is also pretty nice if you switch languages a lot like I do. (Yes, I know you can do this with 2 key presses on windows but being able to do it in one is nice.)

              Is there a globe key on Mac? I must have missed that one. I can see that being useful if you type in languages which use different alphabets but not otherwise.

              Even if doing a shortcut is barely any slower.

                Yeah, it’s the bottom left key. You can assign it to do all sorts of stuff (I think it’s emoji by default for US models). I use it to switch between Japanese and English keyboard.

                  Ah, alright I have an fn key there instead. Which I actually prefer because sacrificing prime real estate for a language key seems like a waste.
