You're spending time on MacOS to make basic computer functionality work?

What? why? how?

I'm a Software Engineer with 7 years experience, but I've been out of the game for a while now. I also have not touched windows in 8 years, and only use Linux on a VPS, so the basic "computer" always works.

Same stuff as everywhere. Mice, keyboards, printers, displays

I'm glad you've not suffered the way the rest of us suffer.

Try to do a search on discussions.apple.com and you will find so many cases of people having problems with basic computer functionality on macOS.

Just like you never had any problems with macOS, there are lots of people out there who didn't have any such issues using Windows or Linux.
