alt Hacker News> The problem that fucks us over is that Mac OS only has to be better than the competition.
I'm with you here, but I'm having a _much_ better time on my Linux machines (KDE and Cinnamon Mint) than on my (unbelievably-powerful-but-for-what) M4 Max MBP. It's so much cleaner, even without having upgraded to Tahoe, and imagine that I don't even like tinkering that much, it just works.
I was using KDE when I switched to Mac OS from Linux as my main desktop (2013 ish).
Must admit I've only looked at the default desktop in Ubuntu in the past years, and that's ... disappointing.
Maybe I should look at how KDE is these days, but it's a second class citizen in most major distros isn't it? Except in this Mint i've never tried.
I also have this fetish for cool and quiet. Can I run KDE on a box that idles at 10 W and never turns the fan audibly on?
