OK who changed the wojak into a beautiful woman?
wojak is a beautiful woman
Yay
Sometimes slightly worse. Like LibreOffice.
Sometimes actually better, like VLC.
Sometimes about the same, like the latest version of MuseScore (older versions were, in fact, quite a bit worse).
But sometimes, like with older versions of GIMP (I’ll admit, I’ve not tried its latest major version release candidate) it’s significantly worse.
Libreoffice is slightly worse because all the proprietary office suites keep lowering the bar for everyone to follow them. It’s not a quality issue, it’s a never ending contest to figure out how to complicate writing a simple letter so that everyone has to buy only your software.
LibreOffice is more than slightly worse, but FOSS projects cover the gamut. The thing about them is that the best ones are usually laser focused on exactly what the user needs, rather than what makes the most money.
“Slightly worse”. I got a job and was not allowed to use a linux laptop, so I went with mac. I was almost worried that I would like the “just works” aspects everyone have been so exited about. Wow. What a piece of shit it is. Settings items takes forever to load after boot, mouse feels like it is stuck in mud (even if I remove accelleration and increase speed), it cannot wake many monitors up from sleep, it completely disables the keyboard momentarily when activating the screen (and if it fails to wake it, it becomes a flashing, keyboard grabbing nightmare). The window management? I can set up a workspace on this and that keybind, “oh, you disconnected the monitor, well we permuted the keybinds for you” wtf? When I get home and switch to linux, it is such a relief.
Lol, since the last major update I can’t type a tilde or a backtick, presumably because it doesn’t recognize my keyboard type?? And I had to install another program that prevent Apple Music from opening each time I connect/disconnect bluetooth headphones?? Or to add week numbers to the calendar widget. Even Gnome isn’t that bad.
presumably because it doesn’t recognize my keyboard type??
The answer by Apple (and their parroting fanbois): You don’t actually need those keys. It’s confusing for users to have too many characters.
this is what they mean by “just works” is that it doesn’t do much of anything.
It means what is not already happening will never happen.
Tinkering is for hippies and hippies are communist.

You’ve never worked on software in a big company have you?
And if it’s so good, why haven’t they released an Open Source 2?
If you like open source THAT much, why don’t you marry it??
Fork me, baby 🫦
But when the open source app becomes the best one, it becomes impossible to beat it. Look VLC for example.
Or Blender
Depending on what you’re trying to create blender is very easily beat by other programs. Almost every time a friend watches me use blender I’ll get hit with “this would be so much easier in fusion 360”
This must be satire
