Gotcha. I like Saber for handwritten notes. It also supports photos and PDFs, so I will get some meeting notes, upload them into Saber and then handwrite notes on top of the PDFs.

It is cross-platform and has native NextCloud support, and they’ll even give you a server to use if you sponsor the project.

I see. Deb is definitely the most package-friendly.

GNOME combines Mac’s “stage manager” and “spotlight” into a single function activated by the Super key (windows key/command). It’s really excellent and probably my favorite thing about GNOME.

Atomic distros were created to solve exactly that problem. I like Bazzite because it also has seamless background updates (among other reasons).

I’m looking for good apps support so Debian?

Any Debian fork will run .deb packages. But plain Debian is just very vanilla and will be missing a lot of stuff you’ll probably want.

Wobbly windows (yes useless but cool lol) Good customization KDE connect support (a must) Krunner or equivalent (MacOS like search)

These are all going to be features of the DE, and you can install any DE on any distro (AFAIK).

If you want to type text into another window that isn’t focused, you need to switch focus before continuing to type so your text goes into the right window.

No you don’t, you just click the text box. Once. This works perfectly, and as expected, on Windows and Linux.

If you’re double clicking, it’s pretty much always because you actually want to double click on something specific in the UI.

Except it’s not. It’s because you’re trying to bypass the annoying ass “focus” feature.

Skill issue.

Okay so we’re moving onto personal insults now, I suppose.

I’m beginning to think you’ve never used any computer since you don’t even know what window focus is for.

Every other computer I’ve used works normally. Only Mac has this annoying ass “feature”.

You are posting in self hosted by also referencing some software that isn’t so I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking for in that regard.

Saber is the only non-onenote notes software that supports handwriting and is fully FOSS, to my knowledge. I use that and then back up with Syncthing.

You’re wrong because of the specific words you’re choosing to use. Even if they aren’t, it doesn’t mean they can’t.

“design by committee” approach that large studios are using

They don’t have to use that.

This kind of game can only exist as a solo or very small team project.

That’s just very clearly wrong.

You can not generate the kind of money that large publishers and studios need to survive with little Indie games.

Wrong again. If anything, only large publishers can lose the kinds of money that they sometimes do.

So you can activate a window without first having to find a free space in the UI to click on (especially if it partially overlaps)

That would make sense if they were overlapping. They aren’t. There’s no need to “focus” the window.

What need?

The need to focus on the window before clicking?

Can you give an example of a window that gets minimized by clicking the red button?

I don’t understand the question. All of them.

drag and drop tile actions always work

No. It doesn’t. I’m beginning to think you’ve never used a Mac.

Can you give an example of a window that it does not work with?

I can’t. Because it’s completely inconsistent and I have no idea why or how.

Whichever one you install it on.

What do you do with all your music, pictures, addons, portable software?

I sync them to a NAS using Syncthing. Not just when switching but always. Already saved my ass several times.

Balatro is…not something big studios could even possibly replicate

…and why not?

What would be the point of a big studio trying to make a game that one developer can pull off?

…money?

They’re simply drawing all the wrong conclusions here:

even though Spider-Man 2 sold more than 11 million copies, several members of Insomniac lost their jobs when Sony announced 900 layoffs in February.

The layoffs don’t mean the game or company were unsuccessful, it means they found other ways to eliminate those jobs.

Warner Bros. Discovery took a $200 million loss on Suicide Squad

That’s nothing to do with graphical fidelity, it was a shit game that followed up a shit movie.

Sony closed the studio behind Concord

Lots of potential reasons for this. If you ask me, they released a $30 game into a genre chock full of “free to play” games.

Personally I appreciate “cinematic” games but titles like Balatro and Stardew Valley (neither of which I own) are proof of the simple fact that making games that are actually fun to play is far far more important, and far more profitable.

That won’t make much of a dent in climate change.

It makes a massive difference. Think about how much food and other products a single person consumes in their lifetime. All of that is gone if they’re never born.

The main cause of climate change is pollution on a massive scale by corporations.

They don’t pollute just for the fun of it, they pollute to make products to sell to consumers. No consumers = no pollution.

Wow, what an arrogant twat. Let’s tackle these stupid criticisms 1 by 1:

1. Yes, They cost more. The cost is offset by the lower cost of ownership over time. If you finance the car, you never even feel that cost because you just pay the difference to the bank instead of the oil companies, and pocket the remainder. And you get a nicer car in the process.
2. Longer to refuel. On long trips, yes. The other 99% of the time you actually save a fuckton of time not going to the gas station. Not to mention improved safety and lower risk of ID theft as your CC is stolen (which has happened to me several times).
3. Battery degrades. Yeah, I mean, so does your engine and transmission and everything else about your ICE car. Batteries will likely outlast your ICE powertrain, and they’ll slowly degrade over time, and when they’re done you can sell them to a recycler and get some of your money back.
4. Trains/Buses/Bikes. Yeah, these are great if you have them, or the infrastructure that supports them. We don’t have them. If I try to ride my bike to the grocery store 2 miles away there is a very high probability of death, because I have to cross a 70MPH highway, and there’s no other way to get there. This has nothing to do with the discussion of ICE cars vs. electric cars. I both drive an electric and and actively advocate for improved non-car infrastructure but I’m 1 person.
5. I don’t know what this whole tangent about Chinese cars is about. Those are electric too?

You don’t switch monitors, you switch windows.

Well, theoretically yes. On a Mac, no.

It’s like that so you can click anywhere in a window to focus it without activating something in the window by accident.

Why would I want to do that? Why does double-clicking suddenly remove that need?

You can close windows with the red window button

No you can’t. It just minimizes them. Just like the yellow button.

You can absolutely drag and drop to tile windows

Like I said, sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t. Apple does not give any fucks about consistency or intuitive design.

and there are also keyboard shortcuts for it

1. Apple keyboard shortcuts are often 3 different keys for some stupid reason
2. I shouldn’t need them. Dragging and dropping the window should tile them just like it has in Windows for as long as I’ve been alive.

Well that sounds like a problem, wouldn’t you say?

Uhhh I’ll take one if you’re giving them 😃

You shouldn’t be okay with that.

On the other hand, I experience glitches on macOS regularly on the UI, especially on a multi-monitor setup (I use both Gnome and macOS with multiple monitors).

Multi monitor and window tiling on Mac are so bad, they should be embarrassed.

You have to click to switch monitors but if you do it twice it registers as a double click so you have to click…wait…then click again.

Sometimes you can drag windows from one screen to the other and other times they just…disappear as you drag then across.

You can’t close anything from the window buttons and the red and yellow buttons do the same thing. You have to go into the taskbar and right click to close them.

Then they took the time in Sequoia to add window tiling but it’s just such an awful experience. You have to hover over the green dot and wait for the prompt to popup and choose from a drop-down menu. WHY CAN’T YOU JUST DRAG AND DROP!?

It doesn’t matter what software you use, Apple doesn’t allow automatic backups on their phones. Consider buying a different phone that allows you to use it as you see fit.
