I know this is going to be unpopular with some, but I am seriously considering a Mac and I am annoyed by the idea of it.
I NEED MacOS or Windows for my work. There is one application that does not work in Linux yet and there are no alternatives. It is a critical work application.
With that being said, you can probably guess that Linux is my preferred OS of choice.
I am currently using a Windows desktop for my work, but I do run into situations where I need a laptop. The laptop I am using now is a Thinkpad from 2021 with Fedora. I actually really love this computer. My only real complain is that the webcam is pretty garbage.
So, I think I need a new computer. My choices are Windows laptops which have decent pricing with good specs, or Apple which is extremely expensive for what you get.
I’m really annoyed with Windows’ ads, bloat, and general lack of privacy; specifically Recall. On the other hand, it is hard to justify spending an extra $400 on a Macbook air just to get a 1tb hard drive. My work files alone take up a little more than 200gb.
I guess this is just a rant. I’m not looking for any solutions as what I am really looking is the ability to use Linux for my work which is not an option at the moment.
also you can’t have both: ctrl+c and alt+tab… and whoever designed that screenshot app needs to be put down slowly and painfully. Edit: and that fking scrolling. not only the stupid inertia but “natural scrolling” is inverted between the touchpad and a real mouse.
Cmd+shift+4 opens the screenshot app to area select. It’s easy as pie. I use it all the time.
@DJDarren @mybuttnolie ?! You mean there’s people that don’t use it? That’s bizarre. It one of the most useful features. Specifically if you create a Smart Folder with recent screenshots. Like, of the last two days.
