Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it's been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

I was complaining about MacOS and you brought up Linux for some reason. I am aware I can do anything on Linux I can on Windows. I've used it briefly from time to time and it has a very windows-like work flow for basic stuff. MacOS doesn't.

"I had similar issues with Y as you have had with X"

This was the nature of the statement.

You're conflating all Linux distros and window managers as being the same and as being similar to Windows, which is a non sequitur

I know but I am having issues with Y because of Y. I wouldn't have those issues with X.

If you're unwilling to engage with a new approach to performing the same tasks, then yes. Which was my point to begin with.

If you like windows stick with windows. You don't have to like something for the sake of it. Personal preference is what it is.

My point was it's a myth that MacOS is simple or efficient. Basic stuff is either overly complicated or straight up impossible.

It's not, you just don't know how to use it well. But I don't think this conversation will change that so it's all good.
