AI Overview
Linux generally offers superior customization, hardware
choice, open-source freedom, and powerful developer tools over
macOS, allowing users to tailor the OS extensively, install it
on diverse (often cheaper) hardware, use powerful command-line
utilities (Bash, Docker), and benefit from community-driven
innovation, making it ideal for power users, developers, and
those prioritizing control and flexibility.
Bottom line: Linux makes me happy!

Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time. So long
as there is a regular progression of stimuli to get your mental hooks
into, there is room for lateral movement. Once this begins, its rate is
a matter of discretion.

Speaking of customization, for Mac users, it only goas as far as putting stickers representing your political beliefs on the lid of the computer. Every desktop looks exactly the same, every computer looks exactly the same. Heck, the typical Apple users is so used to fitting into a mold that they don't bother to change their wallpaper anymore. They appear to be entirely devoid of any kind of unique personality to a point that they all generally look the same (hipster attire, insist on hanging out in coffee shops to let you know that they paid extra to get an Apple product when they could just as easily work at home). I've never met Alan, but I'll bet that he wears a tuque all day long and spends his day drinking what Starbucks considers to be coffee writing a screenplay. -- CrudeSausage John 14:6 Pop_OS!

LOLOLOLOLOLOL! I wear a toque when I'm outside and it's cold; mostly when I ski (which I admit, since I tore my ACL, I no longer do very often). Former instructor, BTW. I occasional buy a Starbucks, but it's usually because there is one that is very convenient (i.e. open early enough) for me when I'm on my way out to the the race track to either race my 1998 Formula F Van Diemen RF98 Honda... ...or to teach road racing to new students. Mostly I make my own coffee and brew it by the cup in an AeroPress from beans I grind by the cup. Oh, and I play hockey 2-4 times a week, and when I play regularly, I'm a single-digit handicap golfer... ...and I've been a world championship competitor in sailing. So sorry not to have lived up to this fantasy you've constructed.

Hmm. MacBook currently has a high-res image of EarthForce destroyer Agamemnon in orbit. Mac mini #1 has Enterprise CV-6 launching against the Kido Butai on the morning of 4 June 1942. Mac mini #2 has Faith, Hope, and Charity defending Malta. Each image is from different folders, one per machine, with 48 images each, rotated once every half hour. > They appear to > be entirely devoid of any kind of unique personality to a point that > they all generally look the same (hipster attire, insist on hanging out > in coffee shops to let you know that they paid extra to get an Apple > product when they could just as easily work at home).

Completely refuted by facts, you resort to belittling his choices. You know what? My computer's screen is pretty much always covered with active windows. I've got something like 20-30 open at any given time. Admittedly, some of those are minimized, but right this moment, I've got 10 windows open across Thunderbird, Safari, Messages, Photos, WhatsApp, Mail, Microsoft Teams, NetNewsWire, and Excel.

Sure. Go to www.ebay.com, do a search for MacBook and read the descriptions. Dents seem to be the least worrisomeof the issues though; most of them have broken screens.

Here is a screenshot of what I use though: <https://imgur.com/a/EHb95Ix> 1) The dock is on the left since there is more real estate horizontally than vertically. 2) Since the workspace and applications options are already available in the panel, I've removed them from the dock entirely. 3) I prefer the Kora icons to the default Cosmic ones, so that is what I'm using there. 4) I find that the dock looks better rounded rather than squared, so I set it up that way. 5) I find that the dock and panel look best when their opacity is no more than 50%. Those are five customizations I can do without requiring a third-party, paid application. I could do more if I really wanted to, but I'm not wild with those things either. -- CrudeSausage John 14:6 Pop_OS!
