Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

I'm personally not a fan of the UI and I think the keyboard keys and shortcuts are awful but to be fair I barely use MacOS. I only use it when I need to test something specific on MacOS.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The shortcuts are bad at first just because they’re different, but once you learn them all, they’re way better than Windows’ shortcuts.

[–] funkless_eck 2 points 2 months ago

oh yeah, what's the shortcut to open LinkedIn on mac?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How are they better than Windows or Linux shortcuts?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

From my experience, you can just get to where you want to get faster with them. The globe key is also pretty nice if you switch languages a lot like I do. (Yes, I know you can do this with 2 key presses on windows but being able to do it in one is nice.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is there a globe key on Mac? I must have missed that one. I can see that being useful if you type in languages which use different alphabets but not otherwise.

Even if doing a shortcut is barely any slower.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it’s the bottom left key. You can assign it to do all sorts of stuff (I think it’s emoji by default for US models). I use it to switch between Japanese and English keyboard.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ah, alright I have an fn key there instead. Which I actually prefer because sacrificing prime real estate for a language key seems like a waste.

[–] ArbitraryValue 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You don't mind their UI conventions? I suppose I could probably get used to them, but while I'm comfortable with Windows and Linux desktop environments, I find the Mac one to be quite unpleasant to use for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I miss years ago when you could run full KDE 3 on x11 and basically go in and out of a near Linux environment.

Now I only use it as a terminal because the power management is better.
