I think the author, as some comments mentioned already, is just complaining due to the lack of experience and knowledge on how to tune the system.
My story with MacOS is this: After almost 20 years of using Linux on the desktop and for work, I had to change two years ago to MacOS due to requirements of my employer (not really, I just got sick of having to use Linux “illegally” in a partition on the shitty Dell Laptop with Windows that the company provided me initially with and then my manager suggested me to get a Macbook pro).
It was odd at the beginning but once I got the habit and understanding on how doing things, I have to say that is so far the most reliable desktop os I have used ever. It behaves always as I expect. No ugly surprises, no desktop crashes etc.
The only pain points I can complain are:
- Inconsistent behaviour on maximizing/minimizing windows.
- Cannot change at once the wallpapers of all virtual desktops.
- Lack of keyboard shortcuts for certain things.
- Missing GNU cli tools (despite this is something that can be addresses via brew for a big part of them)
- The fact that you have to stick with what Apple wants you to stick with (This means, no deep customisations of the system)
- I personally don’t like to have the windows menu on the top bar, I prefer the per-windows approach.
Despite the mentioned points, I still thinking that its good things overpasses the bad.
(I actually ended up buying a Macbook pro for myself)
