Because there are two types of mac users:

  • People that are buying them with their own money because they're trendy and just using them as glorified Internet browsers. 16gb is plenty.
  • People using them professionally so their company is paying and Apple can over charge for the necessary memory upgrade

I've been using Niagra for a few months now and love it πŸ‘

It's not even about profits. If companies don't have to pay for expensive office buildings they can save money. It's all the middle management realising their jobs are are unnecessary.

I agree with you about macos design. I'm not a fan of it either. It's garish with over the top animations. The window manager is dreadful. Track pad gestures are great though as is spotlight search.

It kind of has to be mac. How else are you gonna test on safari?

Really? My S22u is super stable. I don't think it's ever crashed. The current up time is 377 hours. But that's only because of the 6.1 update a few weeks ago.

Thanks for trying to help. I have already managed to import the ovpn certs using the CLI. It's just the Gnome import wizard that was not working. I suspect one of my monitors is incorrectly reporting its native resolution and refresh rate as its an issue that occurrs with both nvidia and AMD gpus. I'm on vacation now but I'll visit linuxquestions when I'm back because it's a really annoying issue lol.

I've been dailying Linux for 6 or 7 years with a variety of hardware configurations and there's always been something that's broken or not working correctly

Ssd wake is a bios issue. Monitor issue has happened on every distro I've tried. Vpn cert import is a distro issue as its been fine in other distros. Idk what's going on with chrome. It's not bothered me enough to look into yet. When I do have to use windows there are non of these issues.

Let's not pretend Linux isn't without its own jank. Currently broken on my install

  • importing open vpn certificates
  • USB file transfers
  • after monitors time out and go to sleep resolution, refresh rate and screen positioning resets
  • sometimes fails to go to sleep
  • have to change /proc/acpi/wakeup after every boot or the nvme ssd immediately wakes the system up from sleep
  • Chrome can't update

I know I'll get down voted for saying this because lemmy is a Linux circlejerk. But if we want Linux to proliferate we can't keep ignoring its problems. And sure, if I could be bothered I could probably fix most of these things with enough time. But I don't want to spend my limited free time fixing stuff that really should just work out of the box

Yeah, that's fair. Push notifications by definition come via the internet. Push and local notifications are indistinguishable to the user
