The ability to modify literally anything you can interact with is amazing on linux. However.... it's also very time consuming, so I basically never do that. Linux out of the box without tweaking it will have a lot of behavior you may or may not agree with. I found it to be very difficult to adjust away from the cohesive interfaces found on the mac—you can use readline keybindings on all forms, which only very rarely…
> Linux out of the box without tweaking it will have a lot of behavior you may or may not agree with I hear this from people who choose to use arch and Gentoo then complain that Linux requires much tweaking. Install Ubuntu and be done with it. Or if you want things to work like a Mac, go with elementary OS. If you still feel it's not _exactly_ to your liking, then I suggest you move back to osx.
Thinking this is real is a huge problem in the linux community. My entire post was about ubuntu. This is their trackpad guide in 2019: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
Stuff like that makes me wonder who Canonical's target audience is and who they're testing with.

This is a joke, right? It's basically some high quality apps (I can't emphasize that enough) and a skin. The issue isn't the quality of those apps, it's that the desktop paradigm is fundamentally different and wedded to the PC. I can't understand anyone who claims to have switched and gotten up to productivity within a few years—maybe I've been using macs too long.
Also, this type of hostility has a very chilling effect. I have had good experiences with the open source community personally, but public forums are utterly toxic to people who express opinions about gnu/linux/gnome/kde.
