I bought a new computer.

It's a Mac.

Mac is the worst option for a main workstation except for Windows (obviously) and Linux. Leaving me with....Mac.

I use Linux all day every day but always CLI only and inside VMs/containers that are always set up for specific purposes.

Really just not feeling like ever having to fight to make a webcam work in a zoom meeting or something yet so I just doubt Linux desktop is ever gonna be a thing for me.

Weird, I use Debian with X11 and never have any issues with webcams. I daily drive it, works for my office stuff. (It's on baremetal in a dell powerstation) 🤷 I never have any trouble until I start trying to use linux for Gaming or VR, or things like that. Office work, does the job.

Switched back to Linux has my daily driver 6-months ago as was getting pissed off with OSx. 10yrs ago it was a real battle; a few years ago a pita; now a legit better UX imo.

not every linux is the same. I can highly recommend "Linux Mint" - mostly the XFCE version, but i think others work just as well. Over the last decade I've used it on so many different laptops i have owned and it always installs flawlessly with everything working - never had to fiddle with a wifi d...

Can you also get the maker of Chrome OS to draw cars for Windows 11 and MacOS? All jokes aside, second Linux Mint. nostr:nprofile1qqsrjzjh8z6kmgvy38xxwtd8cfj5jpqfddtqef0vqkqlslyhvtmkphqppamhxue69uhkuethwvh82arcduqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsr8at2u

Mac is exponentially worse the windows. I understand this is a minority position but I can't for the life of me understand why anyone likes Mac OS over windows and I hate windows.

I will do the same, ditching windows for mac. Linux purely for a node, storage etc.

So true, but nobody said freedom comes without pain.

Why do you need a webcam? And why do you use zoom? 😁
