Comment on "Linux? Those guys who like to talk about themselves?"
Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks agoHard disagree. I just started using Mac at my new job.
Why are all the hot keys wrong? Windows and Linux have fairly similar basic hot keys.
They both scroll the correct direction out of the box.
MacOS has decided my usb DAC doesn’t have volume adjust. Plug and play on windows and Linux.

I don’t think your comment is fair. Shortcuts and scrolling are just a matter of habit, missing functions in drivers happen with Linux all the time… but I was talking about how the user, for Microsoft, is a commodity to be sold; useability is an afterthought to adds and useless features.
On the other hand for Apple the user is a cow to milk. The OS is quite ergonomic, but you are corraled and prodded to only use (and buy) the tools that apple wants you to use.
What is worrying to me is that android is on the same trajectory and see do not have a viable Linux distribution for most ARM phones.

The fact alone that Mac doesn’t have a Control key like every other PC OS, but a command key should tell you how contrary Mac is to everything else.
The user is only a commodity if you use the free OS that comes with the computer you buy. You aren’t a commodity if you use Enterprise Windows, like at all. Every single feature you guys like to complain about can be disabled, which you can’t say about Mac. And you still get all the compatibility with virtually every single hardware and software in existence.

I stand by my position. You are in an abusive relationship and you do not even realize it.

It’s a missing driver issue, the driver is there and working, Mac just disables the audio slider.
My comment was about how Mac departs from the standard that other systems implement. It’s 2026, it’s not crazy to think that they should standardize on what windows and Linux uses
