Macbooks Are Impossible to Use

2 points by mortdeus ↗ HN
I dont know if this is because i've been spoiled for the last 2 years by archlinux (and wayland which seriously deserves a shoutout) after i lost my last macbook air a few years ago, but after I recently bought a new macbook, trying to replicate the experiences of my past, im seriously finding myself in countless scenarios where im thinking either the "tech giants" are in a kind of cold war against each other, trying to attack each other in every single subliminal way, or that closed sourceness just sucks literally all the shit it can muster out of the asshole of proprietary software.

Please tell me im not crazy.

Seriously, why is chrome infinitely better on linux than mac?

And why does safari like ughhhh!

the headline is pretty on point. Macbooks are impossible to use.

And yet hundreds of millions have no problem using them.

Also if there was some specific issues we could discuss them. I don't see any...

"closed sourceness just sucks literally all the shit it can muster out of the asshole of proprietary software"

Could not be any vaguer and content-free.

And the only thing that looks like something we can verify doesn't make any sense:

"Seriously, why is chrome infinitely better on linux than mac?"

Err, it's not? Which exactly way do you think it's "better", much less "infinitely better"?

Its like any tool, you will have to learn it. Its even harder to unlearn one while learning the new thing.

Besides that, google/youtube are your friend here, just search 'Mac productivity' and who knows what you will find!
