PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?

I have, we’re a multi-OS houshold. Linux, Steam Deck, Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android.
Different tools for different purposes. You wouldn’t have just one kind of screwdriver, right?
No.
But if I only need a specific screwdriver cause none other fit these screws, it costs $200 and plays ads while I hold it, then I’ll use different screws instead.
I get having Linux and Windows, after all you need a backup solution for when you can’t use Linux. But why do you also have a Mac?
Then I guess iOS makes sense if you have a Mac, but why also have Android?
Linux = Freedom, customizability MacOS = Usability Windows = ???
Windows for interoperability.
Try job hunting without a Windows machine. Good luck!
(My wife hates it when she hits websites that don’t work properly and starts swearing, then I ask “Are you using a real browser or just Safari?” - “FUCK YOU!” Somehow we’re still married. 😀)
I used to do web development, Safari is honestly worse then IE6
It’s godawful, so many things don’t work in Safari and it’s because Apple can’t stand other people coming up with “standards”. :)
I don’t have any problem job hunting on a Linux box. Why would that matter?
Quite a lot of job portals are not only Windows dependent, they can even be I.E./Edge dependent.
Firefox with user agent switcher extension. Problem solved.
Can you fullscreen windows under MacOS yet?
Unless I misunderstand, you’ve been able to do that since around 2011.
M4 Pro user here. “Full screen” on Mac means the current App window becomes a new temporary virtual desktop, which is placed after your normal virtual desktops. It also turns off the status bar / app menu, even though you don’t get that screen space back because of the camera notch.
How many virtual desktops you have and which one is active is display-specific. So if you like multitasking, I hope you’re good at remembering their order and purpose and don’t mind performing the same gesture repeatedly to get back to your app.
You might just want to maximize your app window instead. Though you do need third-party software to do that properly.
I wish I was kidding about any of this.
I don’t even know whether I understand I just hear MacOS users griping about fullscreen, and a quick google gave quite recent results. Especially with fullscreen being incompatible with other windows on top (each fullscreen window necessary is on its own workspace) which would be highly annoying in Blender. You can configure blender to have file open dialogues, render results etc. in its main window, but certain stuff like preferences always open a second one.
My wife is an Apple fangirl. :) She has the watch too!
