Would you be willing to fund a Linux port to Apple Silicon?

When they moved to HiDPI screens, everything worked. In contrast, when I moved my Windows 10 box to a 4K monitor, everything was unbelievably tiny until I set the system scaling to 300%. Which then broke some apps (far too large text, etc.) that I had to go through the "run in this scaling compatibility mode" debacle. Except some other apps still had small text and icons (looking at you, Chitubox!) which required the "run in this other scaling compatibility mode" finagling. Imagine having a "mature" OS where people are still dealing with this after years.

(and this is just one of the pain points I get from Windows 10 every day that I don't get from macOS.)

So you have more pain points with Windows 10 than Apple corporation?

My biggest pain are how Apple treats everyone, for the last 30 years. It's unbelievably frustrating.

Yes. Especially if you add in how Microsoft Corporation have treated people over the last 30 years too.
