How is it "trying to like it" when you try to replace everything and re arrange the entire OS to your liking?

I think they just tried to convert it to Linux for 1 year and that didn't work, which as I said, that's expected, it might not be the OS for you and that's fine. We're lucky we have options, and we are all not the same.

As I said in the comments, macos is for people that can accept the trade offs, that can adapt to a more rigid and propietary system in exchange for something that just works and allows you to focus on your actual work, and not on tuning your computer as if it was a hobbies sports car.

Again, nothing wrong with that, I've been like that in the past. Now I just prefer things that just work and I don't have to waste my time maintaining. We are all not the same, thanks God.

I've been using a linux laptop for years. It just works and allows me to focus on my actual work without rigid proprietary systems getting in the way. I can't remember the last time I had to spend time "tuning" my computer.

Good for you then. As I said it depends a lot how we work, what kind of work we do, and what we prefer. Enjoy it.

No, it doesn’t, perhaps works better than the alternatives most of time, but definitely not all the time.
