For me Macs are too limited. But I actually got Trelby (a 2012 screenwriting 
application with recent updates) to work on my MacBook Air last week. Trelby 
is based on Python. What took forever, though, was getting Brew and Python 
installed on the old Mac (2015).

As for Mac OS's "normal" mode, I just don't like it all. I try to exit its 
terminal by typing "exit" it does exit (sort of), but the window stays there 
until I close it with the trackpad. But it's still not closed really, it's 
minimized (even though I chose close, not minimize). I then have to two 
finger click on the application in the dock, navigate down and tap on "quit" 
to finally get the damn thing to go away. In Linux I type "exit" — done.

I get it that Mac is good at certain things (mostly for integrating with 
other Apple crap) but I want to use an OS the way I want to use it — not be 
constrained by an OS that thinks it's your nanny.

I have to admit that I'm not a fan of how the MacOS doesn't close 
applications when you click on the red dot in the corner. To be fair 
though, this is a practise that other operating systems have borrowed 
because there is no real need to terminate an application and reacquire 
that memory at a time when there is no shortage of memory on most 
hardware. Keeping the application dormant so that it can be restored 
more quickly seems to be preferred which is why most Windows 
applications and a good number of Linux ones close to the tray rather 
than closing entirely.

My "real need" is that, when I close an application I want it closed. 
Period. If I ran into Linux desktops that worked this way, I wouldn't use 
them. As for the amount of time it takes to open an application vs the time 
it takes to "unminimize it," it's inconsequential (at least with the 
applications I use). The only time I want to minimize applications (instead 
of closing them) is when I'm still doing something in the minimized 
application. That doesn't happen often. But when I do that on my Mac, I use 
the minimize button.

And then it comes down to, what's the point of having a minimize button if 
the quit button just minimizes. It seems like someone is confused.

I have to admit that minimize becomes useless if close just removes the 
window but keeps it running in memory. I imagine that there used to be a 
speed benefit to minimizing rather than closing, but it doesn't seem to 
be there anymore. Either way, the interface doesn't bother me as much as 
it does you.

Allowing Apps to remain in the background was the method years ago to 
'speed things up' for switching between them...probably goes back as far 
as the Multifinder (classic Mac OS 5, circa 1987).

But these days, both Windows & MacOS have the design philosophy that 
closing a document window doesn't necessarily quit the App, because one 
is likely to be just ending one's work session with Documents Set A and 
will be opening up Document Set B.  As such, if one really intends to 
quit the App, invoke/use ^Q.  Thus, this seems more of a PEBKAC.

I'm not a fan of close minimizing to the taskbar but I can live with 
close minimizing to the system tray. If I had little RAM and the 
operating system behaved this way, I'd be pretty pissed but we all have 
way more RAM than our operating systems will even need for the kinds of 
tasks we do.

I know that vallor needs 128GB and 192 cores to calculate the 
probability that he'll ever see his dick again but most of us don't need 
that much power.

I guess I'm a little "OCD" (if that's the right term) about some things.

Unlike Apple which made sure that its compatibility layer allowed most 
existing software to continue working when they made the architecture 
change (from 68000 to PowerPC, from PowerPC to Intel, from Intel to 
ARM), Microsoft couldn't be bothered to do the same. They must have run 
out of resources.

I think you (Joel) are kind of missing the point. The reason Microsoft has 
retained an almost monopoly status in the desktop OS market is because it 
runs the supposedly "necessary" Windows applications. I'm guessing the ARM 
CPU versions of Windows computers have limitations in this regard.

I think you're right. Microsoft is always trying to "catch up" on new trends 
without putting in the work and getting it right. They've got the "the 
customer is our beta tester" attitude. Looks like another case of doing a 
half-assed rollout is going bite them in the butt.

I haven't tried it myself but I would believe that the ARM version of 
most programs doesn't exist and whatever compatibility layer Microsoft 
offers is grossly insufficient to make the x86-64 software work reliably 
or perform under the new architecture.

I will say this much: if ARM becomes the only game in town by the time I 
am ready to upgrade from this machine, I won't be bothering with 
Microsoft at all. By then, it won't bother me one bit that I will be 
abandoning the rather large movie collection I've created in Microsoft 
Films & TV if it means avoiding the exhibition of gross incompetence 
Microsoft's venture into an ARM-only environment will be.
