Honestly, macOS is going the same way too. They really got their act together with the hardware but the software is so much worse. This last round seems to have absolutely no QA. It’s like they outsourced the entire process.
I haven’t kept up with the latest minor updates to Tahoe, but I’ve been staying back on Sequoia because while Tahoe looks very pretty and I’m glad to finally see a potential end to Material design, the readability issues with Tahoe are legitimate and rolling back to Sequoia has been a breath of fresh air.
I jumped over to the Mac world from Linux only this year (although I still keep my X260 with LMDE around) but perhaps it was the worst time to do so - I’ll see how I feel once Sequoia support ends and whether Asahi Linux would be more viable.
dark mode is fine in Tahoe. But there’s lot of little things that are broken in Tahoe. I get weird and glitchy behaviors in preview, notes, mail, and safari that should never have gotten past the beta.
I’ll second that even in Sequoia now you mention it.
If I’m in a full screen application and I Exposé, the main desktop apps are in view despite the full screen application being highlighted. Swiping left or right between desktops updates something that corrects this, but definitely doesn’t feel like intended behavior.
I have dock magnification on and in certain situations, the cursor will leave the dock but the magnification effect remains where it last saw the cursor.
Completely agree, MacOS is turning into a dumpster fire. They keep adding features nobody asked for, and making the whole thing more bloated and flaky in the process.
What I’m saying is that you could make an architecture similar to M1 which would have the same benefits of being fast and energy efficient, and slap a tailored Linux distro on top of it that just work out of the box. As a dev, I’d buy a decently built laptop like that in a second.

So guess who just built a Linux PC?

Well they have that fancy new SoC and all it’s horsepower they get to be irresponsible with now.
I’m really amazed that it’s been half a decade now and nobody has made a comparable SoC using ARM or RISCV tailored to Linux.
Nobody tailors hardware to Linux because Linux has historically accommodated crazy ass hardware. (And oh boy does Linus have a lot to say about that)

Don’t ampere and graviton already meet those needs?
